Revisting our “Free Food” volunteer tomato patch
I wrote about our patch of tomatoes that overran my pepper plants, and have mentioned them from time to time since then. Yesterday, I went out and picked all of the ripe fruit from both the volunteer tomatoes, as well as those from the black cherry tomato plants I planted. I was shocked to see […]
Lacto-Paleo Ham-Wrapped Fried Cheese sticks
We spent last weekend at a girls’ fastpitch tournament in Sebring, FL, and lived out of our minivan, tent, and cooler. Feeding a family of four out of a cooler makes for limited options. Smelling the fried food in the concession stand, my wife stated she was going to “fall off the (Paleo) wagon”, and […]
Making your own All Meat Dog treats
Man’s best friend. If you are a dog person, you understand this phrase. (If you are a cat person, why are you even here? You should be in therapy NOW!) Until last year, I had been without a dog in my life for almost two decades, and I thought that was OK. Since adding Muse […]

I’ve found my “Heaven”
Stumbling around the web the other night, I ran across this pic, thought it defined what a perfect day in the outdoors was to me….. I’m working towards this goal…here’s what I have so far: Kayak – check! Hammock – check! Laid-back, “I need another nap”, “Cell phone? What cell phone?” attitude – check! […]
Mangrove Snapper Ceviche
I went fishing on my birthday for two reasons – To go fishing to relax, and to hopefully make some fresh ceviche! Ceviche is pretty close to a fresh salsa that includes a citrus fruit juice (high acid) with raw fish added that become chemically cooked (not as bad as it sounds) I whip up […]
How I spent my birthday
Last week marked my 43rd year on this rock. I celebrated by taking the day off from work, loading up my kayak, and drowning 4 dozen shrimp, one by one in an effort to catch some fish. I was hoping for some sheepshead, a dear favorite of mine, but in sticking to my Hillbilly ways, […]
Bamboo SCORE!
I received an email from a friend last week regarding my search for bamboo. Her significant other, Scott, owner & operator of “Chomp’n Grass Landscape Design & Maintenance” (772- 209-1729), had a line on some bamboo for me. He called me the next day, and we arranged to meet Friday morning. Scott is the guy […]
