You tightwad. Do you squeeze your pennies til Abe Lincoln squeals?

I am very good with money and I like to eat well.

I am very good with money and I like to eat well.

I am sure you do. I'm going with the "to each his own" line here. I looked up what hummus was when you posted about eating it for a snack. And sushi?

I'm thinking palate-wise we aren't very compatible

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Never had hummus before. I've seen them make hummus sandwiches on Diners, Driveins & Dives, and you couldn't get me to eat that pasty stuff on a bet.

It's hippie food...

It's boiled, mashed chick peas. Not my thing

I love hummus, I detest sushi! Have you tried hummus? Bet you'd be surprised-good tasting and good protein.

I'll pass. But thanks

`The emotive power of hummus all over the Middle East cannot be overstated, being the

focus of some serious tribal rivalries. It is, of course, an Arab dish that has its variations all

over the wider region from Persia to Greece, adopted by the Israelis as one of their

national treasures and turned into an obsession.


Not a month goes by without a national paper or website conducting a survey of the best

hummus in the country.

This fetish is so powerful that the best of friends may turn against each other if they find

themselves in opposite hummus camps. I have personally witnessed little wars breaking out

between the most civilized of people concerning their favorite hummus joints.

I like hummus. I use as a dip for veggies and I use it in place of mayo on my sandwiches. Good extra protein. I also love sushi ... although I don't like eel.

Last night went to movies and dinner with daughter. We had cotton candy shrimp. First time ever. Imagine my surprise when they brought out 3 cotton candy swirls and had to eat through cotton candy (just like you get at the local fair) to get to shrimp. That was definitely a once in a lifetime eating adventure. Then had braised beef ribs with bread pudding, horseradish dill fried potatoe pancakes and green beans.

Oh, and a vodka root beer float.

Then off to movies to see The Book Club. I haven't laughed that hard in forever.

So, went for short walk and on way back inside saw 2 snakes in front patio area by fountain. A coachwhip and gopher snake. Both are good guys and welcome to hang around as long as they want. I just hope the gopher isn't hunting the coachwhip.

DONE! No more of that stuff. I'm done with all the over growth and neglect on this property now, that's it. On the left side of the picture is what it used to look like... I think you can get the idea...



You'd never know there was a lilac bush in there I wanted to save...



This is the wagon load of roots and crap from just today. I already took two more out from this job...



This is ONE of the mountains of roots and crap from brush, sucker trees and overgrowth. There's one other pile too. This is what I do to "work out"...



It's looking real nice around here though I think, and the yard will be pretty low maintenance for when I get old. Just ride the mower and run the weed whacker a little bit.

Those potato pancakes sound delish...

Just a reminder, not a hard fast rule, but it would be nice if we could keep the coffee shop a politics, religion and insult free thread.

'Tanks.

Oh no! Was it my “Heathens” remark?

Saw this in back yard today
