My stews are made with what I have at the time.
Always garlic.
I still have scallions growing in a bucket. Pulled them before the big freeze and put them in a bucket with dirt still on.
I mulched the heck out of my carrot crop and have them fresh in the middle of winter now, just got to uncover them and dig.
I still have potatoes in the bottom of the bucket so some of those.
I might start frying the tatos and carrots in butter like suggested, before adding.
From the freezer: sweet corn and red peppers.
Got some dried golden oyster mushrooms from the back yard.
Just a couple dried cheyanne peppers from my garden.
Throw in some red lentils to kind of make it less watery.
Did some work for a guy who raises good pork so I added that to the last one. Doesn't have to be beef to be stew right?

I add other stuff to the bowl after it's served: Salt, black or white pepper, nutritional yeast.
I am sort of surprised that others listed worcestershire. It's one of my gotos. Since Rupert Murdoch bought into heinz/lea and perrin.
I've been enjoying Portandia worsestershire sauce from azure standard, it's a little chunky, so shake it up before pouring.

When you mix citric acid with these alkalis,
does it foam up?

I can tell you what not to try to put clay on.
Dry wall plaster.
They put up dry wall and taped the seems and used the plaster over the tape. Sanded it smooth.
All the clay fell off where the plaster was.
I think because the surface was powdery. The clay stuck to the surface powder and it didn't hold well to what was underneath it.

Sooo maybe flax seed oil? It has been used as a paint base before.
I didn't say linseed oil because it has some solvents,... but has basically the same purpose.
That might make the clay stick.

I have 4 utube channels.
One for outing my local city council for their abuse of power.
One for my fixing and building things channel.
One with my name to link to from here.
And one for anonymity posting strange things.

Got to get used to doing things with one hand, while filming with the other.

I've thought about using a car scissor jack and windshield wiper motor to open windows and doors.

No they had a tapered head and I used a countersink bit to keep them below the surface.
It is screwing into some end grain on the sides and that isn't holding as well on all of them but it just keeps going.

I haven't tried building one with the longer, skinnier and straighter cross-country skis yet.
And I haven't taken it down the sledding hill yet, maybe this winter.

Thanks for the link.
I really think it works so well going over big drifts by making the front a little wider than the rest.

If you want to make one that long you chould try cross country skis.
They are longer and are straight.
Maybe with downhill skis for the front angled ones.
If you build one post a picture here.

I grew some ginger last summer.
I got some from a local store and put them in a pot in about march.
I got it to grow, probably picked it early, didn't get as much as I could have if I'd grown it for a year, but I got more than I planted and it was yummy.

Yes, you will get to start picking a few scallions, I think by July. And they will all be good by the end of the year.
they need weeded a couple times. Once when they are young because they are so small,
then weeded and mulched once more when the weeds start to come up again.

So you have been planting one scallion bulb and having it turn into a bunch?
I've been doing the same with seeds that I started in february,.. but wished I'd have started them in January.
Last year I even had some scallions flower so they might be able to produce viable seeds. I'll find out soon.

I have started onions from seed that were planted in Jan they got going but I don't have much luck/skill at growing nice big onions.

Doesn't look like it is meant to set anything on it.
Because most things would fall through.
I don't have much experience wearing ties but Maybe it's a tie rack.
