Well, I think it’s Boy Scout Island…seems there is some confusion as to what spoil island is actually Boy Scout. I thought I would go with that title instead of “A Kayak Trip to the northernmost island south of the Stuart causeway”. It just doesn’t flow well….

Paleo Mole Crab Poppers or “With Baited Breath”
I love to fish, it’s a serious distraction to me. And while I try to learn as much as possible, I’ve grown to understand that they call it “fishing” rather than “catching” for a reason. I was fishing late one evening about 18 years ago with my oldest daughter, catching small
Guest Post: Mango BBQ Sauce (by BlueTang)
I got a chance to taste this today…I was floored…BT is trying out the Paleo lifestyle also, so anything he makes is going to be a good bet to be safe for the other cavemen, like me. Look at the very bottom for my pics.
Creepy Crawlies or “Cheryl’s Nightmare”
This week, we had a couple visitors worth mentioning, proof that even when you live in town, the wilderness can still be right at your doorstep. I’ve mentioned Zach several times, as he is a kindred spirit, and he thinks some of the oddball things I do are interesting. Everyone has a fan or two 🙂 However, […]
Revisiting Green Deane

New Plants from Cuttings (Malabar Spinach)
I purchased three Malabar Spinach plants at a plant sale back in early June, and as I mentioned before, we really like it. But even with it’s fast growth rate, we eat it faster than it grows. So i wanted more
Another Kayak Outing (sort of) and a visit to Okeeheelee Park Rentals
I have a daughter that played in the USSSA Fast-Pitch Girls South Florida 12U “B” State Championships this weekend at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach, FL. This was a three day tournament starting Friday morning. Like in many competitive sports, siblings get to tag along, and many times are bored senseless. Several of my daughter’s teammates have brothers that […]
Lionfish Update – Maybe not such an issue here in Florida?
Remember this: Update: Eating Lionfish may be dangerous ??? Ciguatera is a nasty thing to experience. When I first read the email regarding ciguatera, I did my due diligence as well as I was able given the time I had on hand and my perceived sense of urgency. I have friends that eat lionfish frequently and would hate to think I could […]
Kayaking at Halpatiokee
Halpatiokee is Seminole for “Alligator Water”. Here is why:
4th of July
Short post to wish you and your a safe celebration of our country’s 236th birthday. We are living in troubled times. Our government is spending faster than it can tax us to cover the payments. Food supplies are being contaminated and adulterated in various ways, making it harder to eat a “healthy” diet, depending on […]
