I’m in southern California and I think most houses have gas hookups for driers, often with gas stoves and gas water heaters too.

I had the exact same experience with the elephant garlic, they took forever to sprout, long enough that I actually dug one of them up to check that they hadn’t been eaten or something.

It might be! That was one of the varieties I planted this year, though the cloves I put in the ground looked like normal shaped cloves, just scaled up a bit.

That makes sense, he was really undersized compared to the rest.

You’re right, they’re just making a joke, as till also refers to how farmers prepare soil for planting crops.

For some reason I can’t add this to the main post, but here’s the pie and ice cream before serving.

Yum, love a good fried rice! I think that recipes which use up leftovers while making you not feel like you’re eating the same thing for the Nth meal in a row are essential tools in a home cook’s arsenal.

That’s true, it’s just that they use savory as a descriptor, when I found the end result to be more dessert than main.

They’ve got a version that uses onions and much less sugar, so maybe I’ll try a mix of onions and cabbage to get that caramelization. Or just apply the sugar as a glaze on the bottom before the bake, so that it’s a layer of sweetness, and not sweet throughout.

Hey no aesthetic shaming my food! #notyourplatingstandards

I love Townsend’s videos, and learned something new. Always thought Welsh rabbit contained actual rabbit, rather than being a cheese sauce on toast, now I’ll have to try making it!

There’s a blast from the past. I had to look the guy up, and seems like he does motivational speaking now.

Yep, and he’s probably the guy responsible for the nibbles higher up. They love my tomatoes, and become absolute terrors in my garden this time of year.

I think it’s a beautiful scene, but I know desert landscapes aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Oh definitely still glad we visited, the whole area was still breathtakingly beautiful. I really want to come back one summer and spend more time hiking, hopefully with more sun!

So jealous you had good weather! I was just there at the tail end of May, and we had constant rain/snow/hail. The locals said it was really unseasonably cold weather.

I have a top loaded Samsung washer, and just replaced its four spring rods, which really helped with the shaking and bouncing issues.

I agree! Do the different colors mean anything?

What a cute face! Looks like he might have joined his orange brethren and lost the braincell 😂

California is pretty spot on. I’d say same with Arizona and Las Vegas.

Aww what a cutie with her paws all pushed together!
