Romaine Crop Report & Other Things


I can blame (or credit?) Anacoana for all the Romaine I have growing in my apartment--wherever you look
you will find a bowl with leaves popping up! Plus now I have an onion
growing in one! At the moment I have 12 heads of Romaine growing--oh
will I have a great Caesar Salad!!!!

So
far all I am getting from my turnip and beet plants are great
leaves--might add chopped beet leaves to a salad to give it color.

I do love to see things grow!

******************************************************************

There
are a couple of blogs that I want to post but I have limited myself to
one post a day on all the varied blog webs I go to plus the amount of
time I will spend on the Internet. There is the "Spamalot" show we saw
yesterday--redoing the review on Cafe Vico with more pictures of what we
have been eating working our way down the list without a single bad
dish yet--also tried a new Mexican franchise restaurant called the Salsa
Fiesta Grill--seems we now have a Mexican restaurant on every corner in
Fort Lauderdale!!

The
important thing to me is that I am almost finished writing the first
manuscript of my probably last book, "7 DECADES SERIES"--I have about 3
chapters to go mostly summarising the last 8 years. After that the hard
work starts--the part I 'hate' which is rewriting but it might be a
little more fun this time as I will be adding the X-rated parts plus a
few of my encounters with celebrities not spoken about before.

******************************************************************

Last,
but not least, I am vowing once again NOT to read or respond to Right
Wing blogs, especially at 2 web sites. Some are just irresistible with
ludicrous subject lines. They are not interested in discussions but only
hearing from like minded people! I am far from being a masochist and
this people only know  to insult ANYONE who thinks in any way
differently then they do. Some sites have blocking and I am glad so many
have blocked me!! LOL Other sites just have these obscene, ridiculous
subject lines showing that you go to read it just to see if they really believe what they are posting! And I fall for the trap one too many
times. NO MORE!!!!

******************************************************************

While
I am talking about political subjects I was wondering today how many
hypocrites will come out and be sympathetic to George Zimmerman IF he
should be killed after ranting and raving against him because of the
verdict. Along those lines I have NEVER said whether I feel he is guilty
or not and yet some people presume they know how I feel. The only thing
I have said about the verdict was that the prosecution handed the
verdict to the defense!

Still
political when, if ever, will the IRS ever get after churches/religions
that are NOT separating religion from government. Big piece in today's
paper about how a  church group down here is teaching classes in how to
run for public office!

Last
thing--I still can't get over this and have posted it a few times--have
you read/heard about the Republican Virginian candidate for Governor who
want to outlaw ALL oral and anal sex by ALL sexes?!?!?!?  I thought
Republicans wanted less government in our lives! LOL

By the way if you really need a laugh go to the facebook page Douche Spotter-- these are really laugh out loud pictures!!!

******************************************************************

Okay
time to get back to the tough, time taking business of deleting
hundreds of blogs and then working on the next to last chapter  of "7
DECADES" to post Tuesday.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to leave a few of the original leaves on the romaine head to give the plant something to photosynthesize with while it produces new growth. Would make for a nice experiment for somebody who eats enough romaine. And now for fb before I forget.....
