Dirtyhip Posted April 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2020 We are doing a garden this year, and I have been getting starts together. I am limited in the amount of starter pots, so I am getting crafty. I save the cardboard rolls from my TP, and use those for starts. You need some kind of a plastic bin to hold them upright. I have this old tupperware bread container that I never use for bread. That will work. Also, I keep any plastic round container for the same purpose. @shootingstar, bring me those darn yogurt tubs you are hoarding. LOL Anyway, I am finding use of the items that were placed into my recycle bin. Dumpster diving isn;t so bad when it is my dumpster. Also, I cut the growth end off my green onions and plant those. That should help me out with green onions. Victory garden 2020! Spaghetti squash, lettuce, kale, beets, peas and bush beans. Trying to keep it simple. I am hoping we will be victorious in this fight for health and safety. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted April 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2020 I'm willing to plant some pizza crusts but I fear that the weather here won't make for good pizza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to see if our recreational centres would have use..but we've closed all of them temporarily across the city. They would be great for storing gardening supplies, detergent, certain foods with no lid on top, etc. Just endless uses. A place for my cleaning household scrubbers, my acrylic art paint tubes, bike rags/grease tubes, etc. https://www.olympicdairy.com/product/organic-en/plain-2-1-75kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bread option would be nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you eat any pizza outside of Naples, without distaste? Honest question. It's like, once you have had really good food, the rest disappoints.

It's like, once you have had really good food, the rest disappoints. We overdo everything about Pizza on this side of the Atlantic. Too big, often too much crust, too much sauce, too much cheese, too many toppings. Naples pizza, as you know, is much better balanced. I had exceptional pizza in Moscow at the Akedemya restaurant. Probably one of the best ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me wife’s homemade ones are usually very very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not just basil, cheese and sauce. I am really trying to perfect my recipe, and I am certain that Naples pizza would easily destroy mine. Our food is good, but no way the best. It can always be improved upon. Too big, is there such a thing? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted April 5, 2020 Share #13 Posted April 5, 2020 The best pizza I have ever had was from a place called Speciality Pizza in Orlando. It was thin cracker like crust with everythig including anchovies. Every now and then when I got the urge I would have one delivered to my Residence Inn apartment. Thin crust has one disadvantage however.......it doesn't fill you up fast enough so I tended to eat the whole thing in one sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL We have a pizza place in my town that imports their flour, salt, sauce and water for their pizza from Naples. It is really authentic flavour but the crust is more like Genoan, which is about 1/2 inch thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sparse, and better than their pizza's... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted April 5, 2020 Share #19 Posted April 5, 2020 Last night I finished recycling a wine box into a nylon string acoustic/electric guitar. I put a piezo bar pickup in the bridge and used a champagne cork for the volume knob. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
