Shuley Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 So I went down to my local butcher to get some plate ribs for Monday and while I was there I decided to get some of their house made sausages (jalepeno chipotle and basque) for a quick dinner tonight. Man, they were good. I cooked them at about 250 and served them the way we had them in Texas- with white bread pickles and onion. I also baked some red lobster cheddar biscuits on my Akorn. I've been better at trying to use two cookers and keeping the cooking outdoors lately. Anyway simple pictures of a simple yet delicious dinner. I'll definitely be keeping this in the back of my mind the next time I need a quick summer dinner. Also, yet another time that I set the kk while I ran to the store, and came back ready to cook! 3

MacKenzie Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 School does not end here until the end of June.
Shuley Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Posted May 28, 2017 Mid 70s but it's unseasonably cool today. We started red graduation practice on Friday and I know this is going to be the one where I cry. I had a really great group this year!! 2
tony b Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) @ckreef - 'cause you folks down there don't have to make up "snow days" when school is either cancelled or late start. Sorry, MacKenzie, it was a gorgeous weekend here - upper 70s/low 80s. Cooling off a bit today - low 70s. Planted my veggie garden yesterday (tomatoes, peppers and herbs).

tony b Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 We haven't had frost in weeks, but the lows were still in the 40s at night until recently. Plus, we've had a lot of rain lately, so the soil was really soggy and like they say "tomatoes don't like wet feet." So I was waiting for things to dry out a little before planting.
MacKenzie Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 I just finished putting blankets over the things that are up and not under cover. My tomatoes and peppers are still in the greenhouse.
ckreef Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 Unfortunately GA had a late spring freeze which wipped out 80% of the states Blueberry crop. So bad farmers can apply for federal agriculture disaster assistance. 80% of my Blueberries died, can I get assistance? This was a really mild winter so my two large Blueberry bushes flowered early (like all Blueberry bushes in GA did). Then came a late spring frost warning. I went out and covered the bushes. Didn't help. Turned into a one night hard freeze and the next day I cried looking at what wasn't left. Oh well there's always next year. 1
tony b Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 That's the life of a farmer. Always at Mother Nature's mercy.
