Doodads — 2 pics from the past week and a song
This is a pic taken of sunset a few days ago. I thought it was pretty. The next pic is my newest plant project. I removed a couple of lobes from the prickly pear cactus, have let the cut end dry out well, and yesterday planted them in a mix of perlite, gravel, and planting…

FFF 52 — fungi jerky
I happened across fungi jerky about a month ago and bought it on impulse. I’ve bought dried shiitaki mushrooms for hot and sour soup and could see them being marinated and then dried into jerky. These little quarter-sized bits have great texture and taste and are much healthier to eat than, say, potato chips. They…
