The pumpkin spice everything month coffee thread.

TK, I guess next year you can plant 1000 sq feet with your saved seed. I just picked what was left of my field corn, the deer and squirrels have been working on it while I waited for it to dry down. Don't know how much yet, it's still in the husk. So far I've got a medium size plastic tote full of buckwheat, about 40 large squash, 2 1/2-3 gallons of dry beans and 10-15 lb of sweet potatoes, and still have 3 watermelons left. Getting ready to go till it up and sow some wheat now. I "threshed" the buckwheat with a plastic tarp and a piece of PVC pipe to beat it with.

Edit: Meant 1000 sq ft, not 100.

I want to try growing flax for a cover crop- if it grows i will feed it to my chickens

You could get a co-op full of Yuppies and feed it to them, but not as useful as chickens.

Joe Demagio did it.

2 games to 1, Astros are making history everyday.  First to win both AL and NL league pennants, and won their first WS game at home.  Game 4 tonight....Houston Strong, go 'stros!

The Astro bats had a proper workout last night.

Game 4 just about to start. Every player standing, facing the flags, and many singing along. Baseball is America's game.  Go Astro's!

Evening all.

Another sunny day in California.  The dog persuaded me to go for a bit of a walk.  Just over a mile.  She enjoyed it more than I did.  Something about coughing up anatomy.

Banana pancakes for dinner.  Used Einkorn wheat flour for the batter, just to see.  It worked out pretty well.  I didn't add any leavening, so they were pretty flat, but I ate enough pancake to tide me over for a month.

Autumn hasn't even startted here yet. It was 85°F  yesterday. Going the same way today.

[Capt Quirk]

High of 53 today, and it is a cold blustery wind. Went out to start the genny, and immediately realized I should have put pants on.

Where I reside -----an Australian should have no interest in your politics except that     1) whatever stupidity happens in your system will come to us in a year or two  2) your media owns our media so we get that dosed on us  3) seems we have the same breed of libtard dimwits just under different names ....... I see (both sides of the water) a grinding long term effort of grinding down family values and enslavement of the working / middle class

I have some good friends in the mid west and have visited your country four times (35 weeks total) - the people in that flyover country are some of the best on this earth .

Friday was quite the same here.  They are calling for frost tonight- some say there was snow flakes falling in Ft Payne area this morning



@greyhawk

Swear words. I just thought that was proper Aussie

Pumpkin spice tofu and almond milk, you mean.   

I was out of all-purpose flour yesterday and didn't feel like a trip to the store.  My mom had some of the einkorn flour in the freezer because a friend with ridiculously high allergy to wheat (we're talking epi-pen territory) suggested it for some baking.  Worked well for pancakes.

Took the dog for a bit of a walk today.  Ran into a friend out shooting his newest gun.  Early Smith hand-ejector 32.  Unfortunately my dog is still gun shy (we're working on it!) so I didn't get to put any rounds through it.  Also found a kitten out in the woods.  Tried to catch it, but it got away.

25 this morning, high 50s afternoon. Typical late October here.

TK, don't forget the baking powder next time you make the yuppie flour pancakes.

If she thinks that's safe for her she is playing  with fire.   Since it is a type of wheat it could decide to kill her someday.   Like someone with a penny-cillian allergy eating Blu Cheese, may get away with for a while but having a bottle of nitroglycerin rolling around under the seat.
