Sunday, September 8, 2013. Vegetarian Pole Beans and Corn recipe. Our garden is doing well! Today I harvested a heaping handful of pole beans and cooked them up with onions and sweet corn. Came out very tasty and went nicely as a side dish alongside flounder and salmon fillets and garlic bread. Vegetarian Pole Beans and Corn. Big handful of pole beans (ours are Kentucky Wonder). 1 ear of sweet corn, uncooked. 1/2 onion, chopped. 1/4 banana pepper, finely chopped. 1/4 tsp black pepper. Delias Studio, Inc.

Sunday, October 21, 2012. It's that time of year - the leaves are changing, the nights are turning cold, and the Smokies are as beautiful as ever. Today we drove out before dawn (it was about 30 degrees and very windy in the higher elevations) to catch sunrise at Clingmans Dome. Us, and a bunch of other people! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

theOutpost: Fauna Friday
http://jenoutpost.blogspot.com/2013/07/fauna-friday.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. In the middle of the Clinch River, on the island near the weir dam, there is a Great Blue Heron nest we've been watching for a while. Three babies are in it and boy are they getting big. The standing one was giving its wings quite a workout, won't be long and it'll be airborne! Here is a youtube video of the babies. I tried and tried to upload the video to blogspot, then tried to embed the video here from my youtube account. nothing is working! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, February 25, 2013. I recently discovered that one of my favorite '80s movies is currently available for viewing on YouTube. If you've seen it, go watch it again, still fun :-). If you've haven't viewed it yet, get ready for some great 1983 apocalyptic-future-space-cheese. Kindof a Mad Max-y, Indiana Jones, Beyond the Thunderdome of Doom, with a dash of Cherry 2000, a pinch of Dune, and a smidge of Barbarella. Let's hit some of the high spots:. Peter Strauss is a good lookin' dude. I want the truck.

theOutpost: A tour of the veggie garden
http://jenoutpost.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-tour-of-veggie-garden.html
Wednesday, June 19, 2013. A tour of the veggie garden. It's nearing the end of June and our veggie garden is coming along nicely. The weather this year is far better than last year, which was incredibly hot and dry; now we are extremely damp so I'm not having to water near as much. Most of the crop was started from seed except the cherry tomato plant and half the cucumber vines, which were store-bought in small pots. Tiny cherry tomatoes of the Sweet 100 variety. Thanks for checking in! Delias Studio, Inc.

Saturday, March 30, 2013. Here comes the Easter Bunny! Fun with Easter Eggs:. I boiled and dyed a dozen eggs. I used masking tape to create some resist designs. I love the pastel 80s vibe. I tried to make this one look like natural stone - not too bad, I think. Shamsie has laid 9 eggs and I decided to dye some of them, too. They almost look like candies. I boiled them just very slightly to get them hot so they'd accept the dye better. They won't be eaten, I bury them in the garden. Friday, March 29, 2013.

Friday, February 14, 2014. Hearts All Around - Valentine's Day 2014 Edition. It's that time of year again! Love is in the air and "hearts" are all around. This has been a long, cold winter and snow is on the ground, so of course we have a snow heart. I'm kinda not feeling the snow love anymore though, ready for Spring at the moment. S gave me a beautiful bouquet of mixed roses for our anniversary/Valentine's Day - the green ones are so ruffly and unique. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, October 9, 2013. This is what the Government Shutdown looks like in the Great Smoky Mtns NP. Today was Day 9 of the government shutdown which has (among various other things) officially closed all 401 units of the National Park System. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just one of many. However, it is also the most visited national park in the system, attracting over 9 million visitors a year. So, what does the shutdown look like in the Smokies? Warning: This Park Area is CLOSED. ...

Friday, May 31, 2013. Since gardening season is ramping up, today's Fauna Friday features a couple little caterpillars from last year's garden. Here we have the Saddleback Caterpillar, which I found lurking on my Toad Lily plant. It's a beauty, but apparently the poisonous sting is quite painful. Next, introducing the Cabbage Looper. This little bastard and his buddies nibbled their way through my Roma tomatoes. Look at what they did to the Romas! And that's just a few of the tomatoes they ruined. So her...

Sunday, February 16, 2014. I was thinking about random things the other day, you know how you do, when washing the dishes or some other repetitive task where the mind can wander as you function on auto-pilot. Anyway, I got to thinking how pretty Shamsie is because, well, she's gorgeous. She is literally the color of my paint bottles! At some point it occurred to me how weird it would be if other things were the same color scheme as Shamsie. Friday, February 14, 2014. It's that time of year again! Spiderb...
