jamesp , when I saw the title of the thread, I wondered, "what the heck is THIS going to be?" OMG, I am just cracking up. For all of the busy work you have, I'm amazed you even had the time to put this together. Thanks very much for the laugh. BTW, the spheres look great. Thanks for sharing. ETA: Oops, just realized it's only one sphere. They both look great nonetheless. Dave

Dave Gobs of light and an expensive Nikkor lens at a distance for depth Dave. Easy photo. f9 @ 320sec on auto. photo cropped due to distance. Distance for depth. Coulda did shutter priority and set shutter at 1/120 and pulled about f16 and had even better depth but figured f9 would get it done. |

Growing up, mom didn't do them so well, and they were horrible. We found a recipe for Sriracha honey brussel sprouts, and they are outstanding. Our neighbor tried the recipe, and she cooks them multiple times per week. Her young kids also love 'em. Back to your regular scheduled program.  Dave |

You have way to much slack time. Nice sphere. Loved the pictures made me laugh.

Squash WILL be eaten in these parts. alternative: Mom would send us out to pick a switch(a branch of some plant to whip your ass). Better ere to the larger one, if she had to get one it was gonna be bigger. |

I give you credit for thinking outside the box. Well done. I love fresh veggies. Yum. Yes everyone needs a day out every once in a while. I bet you could find a side job in one of those fancy restaurants to do their food presentations. Well maybe not. Food fights with the rocks lol

jamesp, wasn't sure of the term, so I had to look it up. Yes, it appears so. I knew "prickly pear" was used, and it appears they are one in the same. Not sure I'd be excited about trying the cactus party thing. Dave

Suggestion for the Zucchini, slice them longways into 1/4 inch strips, a bit of olive oil and seasoning, grill a couple minutes on each side. Make up enough strips to put a Lasagna together. Made it twice this summer, it was really good. Used a a sauce with 1lb of beef and home canned tomatoes that added to the flavor. The grilled Zucchini by itself is a good side dish especially the with smoked Salmon I made the other day. Use the skin off Salmon filet, season with the milder "Slap-Yo-Mama" seasoning, smoke over cherry or apple wood for maybe an hour or more depending the heat in the smoker until fish just starts to flake, double yum!
Hey, I was going to talk rocks but someone started us down the veggie trail!! Just got 10 diamond blades I ordered to build the Super-Grinder, need to drill the CD spacers and then put it together. Also taking out one 3' X 10' raised Garden bed and changing it to Rock and Bucket storage. Hate to lose garden space but the bed was producing less and less with the increasing shade from the neighbors pine trees.
