I can't wait for all the berries. Now, I have to decide what to do with them. I may try making preserves.

Here is a pic I took to track progress. http://t.co/mJW9Un9Ch5

I have done alright with things such as spices, peppers, and veggies, but I could kill something ornamental by just looking at it. Those are my fiancee's job, and she is damn good at it.

I'm in Nashville, and I may have started too early myself.

@avclub-323ca7b091beb1b26cc7a2612f1475d5:disqus gingham is still plaid! Regardless, I can't say shit about the plaid. My, at home, wardrobe has basically been all plaid flannel shirts, all the time since November or so.

I am back doing the same thing, myself (hello turkey wraps for lunch everyday!).  For some easy, I like making a yogurt sauce and seasoning up some chicken breast with garam masala, coriander, white pepper and cumin and baking them. Steam whatever veggie I have and have a nice low fat Mediterranean tasting meal. 

For me, garlic, red and black pepper, sugar (if you're in to that sort of thing) and a good spice mix/season salt (My favorites are Tony Chachere and Butt Rub).  I basically use the same spices I use on pork when I smoke ribs.

Not really artsy craftsy, but I don't see the need to start a new thread.

My place is hiring! For real. Doesn't it sound appealing?

@JudgeReinhold:disqus , It is healthcare IT. Awful people work in this field, but it pays the bills.

@LJo1:disqus  Oh, I am going to, but I am stuck here for at least another year. When I accepted the job, they gave me $5000 in moving expenses with the condition that I will stay for 2 years. I have to pay it back if I leave before then, although, it goes down 1/24th each month, but I still owe $2500 if I left today.…

Another site that has great socks, is sockittome.com

You do love your plaids, don't you?

As I mentioned last week, a friend of mine starts on Monday who is gay. I could so easily bait FFU into saying something homophobic, but I wouldn't do that to a friend, even if it meant that asshole would get fired.

I've got a good one for this, too. A few years back, a friend of mine killed himself (we're fairly sure) by driving his car into a bridge abutment. I had to fly out of town for work the day he went missing, and heard about what happened to him when I got to where I was going.  I had been to this place before, and my…

So much insanity comes out of this person, I have to take notes to keep up. I never know when he is going to drop another gem. There is a full page of scribbled notes by my left arm while I type this.

4 the Mare!

They should be waiting for me when I get home, today. I can't wait to stomp around in them.

One of my favorite stories about myself is when I was arrested in Opelousas, LA. It involves me missing a wedding, being unable to find my friends, getting in a fight with someone actually named Rowdy, and much more. To tell it right takes me about 20 minutes and preferably half drunk.

I'll read your write up in a bit. Well, our trip will be in October so the weather is going to be a big factor. My fiancee would really like something close to the water as she loves beaches, although she said it isn't a deal breaker. Madrid is on the list. Others I have looked into are Athens, Malta, Cinque Terra…
