Red

Red contributes to our recycling efforts in his own special way!

Sharon found this on Book TV(cspan).I have just started it and it promises to be enjoyable.Already I have learned that there are many factors that have contributed to this process.Just a few are Geological , political, historic treaties and purchases . It is interesting that states did not get their current shapes instantly ,rather by a process that evolved as conditions changed . More later

Another cycle change completed. This was the easiest yet although it is still a few days work.These plants(bottom photo) will not have fruit until season after next
(June-August 2013) If the world has not blown up by then they will be yummy I am sure!

He's back

Although my mom died over 30 years ago she was in our house today. I feel that way every time I fix spaghetti. When I was a kid she would make this and it was quite an occasion.She would put it on at 8 in the morning and by the evening the house would be filled with a wonderful aroma, She claimed the recipe was given to her by a friend of my dads. His name was Charlie Masterpolo and his family was said to have owned an Italian restaurant . Of course my mom also claimed she was going to name me doing very (Niceley). Anyway, it is a nice story and I am sticking to it!
She would always complain as we were eating . The sauce was always to watery or something else would be off. It always tasted good to me though. As I got older I was not going to chance eating spaghetti fixed any other way so decided to learn to cook it myself. Although I have gotten fairly competent fixing it I still can't resist thinking it is just not good enough either. I guess that is just part of the recipe.
