Manure Tea

1. The weather. The weather Gods are against me. I want to do stuff outside in my yarden (yard-garden, if you didn’t get that) but have been unable to. It’s been raining like Noah’s ark should be parked in the driveway.

2. I think I mentioned that I bought a Tumbleweed Compost Maker. I love it. I’ve been feeding it every day. The instructions say that it works faster with only grass clippings, but bullshit!—That’s wimpy. I’ve been doing shredded newspapers, old leaves, spent daffodil flowers, vegetable kitchen scraps. I had BP put it near the shed so when I go outside to the garage, I can tumble it. Every time I tumble it I chant:

Rumble, tumble, foil and fumble. I love you the most.
Rumble, tumble, foil and fumble, make some ass-kickin’ compost!

(I’m thinking about copyrighting that, so don’t rip it off!)

3. A woman who works with me has a horse. She loves her horse. I gave her a extra heavy duty contractor garbage bag and asked her to bring me some manure. She asked why. Haha. I told her that I wanted to make some mature tea for my plants. She retorted, “Sure, I’ve always wanted to give my boss some shit.” Ha ha again.

Recipe for manure tea:

Horse and/or cow shit
Water
Pantyhose


Put some horse manure into pantyhose (be prepared to not wear the pantyhose again) and tie it off.

Drop the package into a barrel of water and cover.

Steep the manure for a few days . . a week. . . .whatever.

Draw some of the tea and mix with an equal part of straight water. Water garden plants or container plants.

Good stuff

Meme's legs

We're supposed to get snow tomorrow. Where's Spring? I need to mow my lawn. The grass is longer than the hair on Meme's legs.

The Secret backfires

Spidey,
I know you don’t watch Boston Legal, but I just have to share.

Denny Crane is played by William Shatner
Allan Shore is played by Emma's-Lust-Man James Spader

Denny’s at his desk with his eyes closed. Allan walks into Denny's office:

Allan: Denny? Is something wrong?

No reply.

Allan: Denny!?

Denny: The Secret.

Allan: A Secret? You can tell me, we’re flamingos (long story)

Denny: No, not a secret. THE Secret. It’s all about the laws of attraction. I’m thinking of Raquel Welch. I think of Raquel Welch long enough, she will appear here and want me.

Long story short (hee hee) the last part of the episode, some guy says to Denny “there is a woman here to see you.”

Denny: Here to see me? Is she a celebrity? Sex symbol? Show her in!


In walks Phyllis Diller! hahahaha

Catching hell

Yesterday at my sister's was fun, good food, an egg hunt for the little niece and nephew, but I caught Hell from LP for not making him an Easter Basket. Who knew the teenaged Gangsta man wanted a basket with eggs and a Chocolate Bunny?

Eggs/Spidey

I made the hard boiled eggs yesterday and didn't cook them long enough because when I went to drain them and roll them around in the pan to crack them up, it was a holy mess!!! Yuck. So I had to drive over to Kroger's and buy another dozen. The second time I cooked them longer, added vinegar to the water, etc. and they were perfect.
I looked up on Food TV website and here's what I put in the mixture: Mayo, spicy mustard, hot sauce, Woschestershire (sp) sauce, finely diced red onion, parsley, salt and pepper. It was very good.
I also went all Sandra Lee and put the mixture in a baggie, snipped off a corner and piped it into the whites. Eggscellent!
I also made the roasted shrimp and orzo salad and that's fire (fire is a good thing according to LP)

Thanks to Spidey for the Easter E card (she loves me---and it's ditto)
PS: Spidey, I found sixty dollars in a jacket pocket I was going to wear today!!

Happy Easter to you all.
