Finally the garlic has dried enough to remove the stalks, roots and the outer skins. This is a Hard neck Porcelain called Music after the man who created this variety. The majority of the cloves are bigger than the seed stock I received last fall at planting time. Hard Neck varieties should be planted in the fall to allow good root development until it goes dormant at freeze up. The garlic should be well mulched with straw of leaves to stabilize the ground from ant freeze thaw cycles that would be detrimental to the young root systems. I planted about 120 gloves last October and harvested 104. I was pleased with the outcome. I now take a lot of pictures to record things as my memory doesn’t work like it used to or maybe I really don’t care to remember the little details of life. Anyway here are a few pictures I’ve taken, the scale pictures will be used this time next year to see if my harvest/ bulb and glove size increases. As always enjoy and thanks for checking out the posts! Wayne Teaser we will have an onion post soon

Here is a picture of my sandwich I had for my supper after taking dad home. This it the way looks just enough pink. I slightly warmed it in the microwave and I mean slightly lol I know it’s not sliced across the grain but Mrs Weed cut and I’m not criticizing her! Still taste beautiful!

Getting forgetful! I didn’t think to take a picture of the slices. I gave the parents the smaller piece. The thicker part was medium but mother turned her nose up. I sliced it all up for them so they can make sandwiches etc. I left 2 1/2 pound pieces of the medium so mother can murder it lol. When I left dad was pounding the slices to him! He said it was the best roast beef he’s ever tasted. That’s justification enough for me right there. If he’s happy I’m happy. Thanks fir the comments Wayne

Picked up a 9.6 pound Sirloin Centre cut roast. Cut it down the middle, trussed it put a few cloves of garlic in it. Rubbed it with liberal amounts of pink salt and coarse ground pepper. Kniwimy mother won’t eat beef unless it is dried out tough as leather. I cooked it to 165 F in the thin bits and 145 in the thicker bits. I describe it at medium and medium well. If I was cooking it for myself it would be medium and medium rare. Non the less it turned out delicious.

Sad to loose another member. My condolences to all his family and friends. Just a crazy time lately loosing so many members. Wayne

Very Sad news, @7Toes he will be missed by all! My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He brought us all great happiness here at >XI<

Now that’s a beautiful looking baby boy! All babies are a gift to be loved and cherished. Congratulations.

Very nice! Seems like they appreciate your work. Congratulations!

@FunStick If you ever do get kidnapped and they see that FUNSTICK they'll put you in the movies lolol! The movies just might be that big break you've been looking for. I'm not talking about Disney movies.

Very nice, I’m sure it will serve you well. It is funny how marketing and name brand drives the b price up so much. All these North American companies out sourced so many products driving up their profits. Now those same factories are sending those same products to N/A under a different brand for 1/4 the price. It is very hard to purchase anything made on the North American continent now Funny I never remember getting a discount on pricing when these companies retooled overseas! ive had this set over 25 years now. Only has 3 stones but does a great job. Great for taking on a hunting and fishing trip. Nice and compact.

Very nice! Good job.

Thanks everyone he’s had a lot of smiles the last little while. He understands his limitations and is thankful for every day. He just loves life and family. He and mom had a wonderful day yesterday. One of my cousins every year takes mom and dad to her camp to celebrate Dad’s oldest sister’s birthday although she has been gone for many years they still celebrate her day. It is a great celebration full of wonderful memories for dad. He is the last living member of of his immediate family. They went through dozens of old pictures of the Local Lebanese community who immigrated to our area. Dad was able to remember all their names and tell old stories of days gone by in the community. He was treated like the KING he is, he is loved by all and loves all…………as long as y’all don’t wrong him lol! Again thank you all for the kind words I’ll be passing on your thoughts and blessings. Wayne

@Roxy! You little possum you!

I always have to sample lol

The wife made him his favourite white cake with boiled Frosting, my favourite too! He is a short slow motion video and the finished product as well. I added the wrong video this is the correct slow motion video!

Here is a picture of the dish we are making today. The picture is from last year. I’ll post a picture later of the finished product.

Well most of you know Dad has had a rough time the last few years in particular since December 2020. His medical care has been spectacular. Friday August 06/2021 he celebrated his 89th birthday. We are so very thankful and blessed to still have him here with us. Today I dropped him off for his dialysis, he is in great spirits and is always thankful for his improving health all be it limited. His mind is clear and his heart is full of love. We made a big pot of grape leaves stuffed with meat, rice, onions, stewed tomatoes and spices. Most people cook the cabbage roll version with the stewed tomatoes and the grape leaves with lemon and oil. we prefer using the tomatoes. Have a great day! Wayne

There should be no limit on those damn things! We need to put a bounty on them.
