My doll is holding the first strawberry that has been born in my garden. Well, it is at least the first strawberry that is big enough to warrant being harvested. It looks real nice, and juicy. I recently added strawberries to the garden. It is all a work in progress. A couple of tomatoes also came in. They are looking quite handsome indeed. Still, I am mainly more of a tomato person, than a strawberry person. Still, it is something that we buy every so often. For that reason, I decided to try to grow my own strawberries. Hopefully, I...

This pet store themed video is based on a terrible visit I had one time to a particular pet store in the US. The prices were too high. Nobody in their right mind should give 1000 bucks for a dog. A horse maybe, but a dog never. In the old country, animals were a lot cheaper. I am talking about good quality animals, like cocker Spanials. Not that it matters much. If folks be willing to pay an arm and a leg for a status symbol, then go ahead. Most folks who I have met that own expensive pets just...

The shortest month of the year has finally arrived. And with it, a lot of cold and wind. Thankfully, it has not gotten too cold in South Florida. The lowest it has been is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Speaking of progress, I wanted to show you how it is going. I made a short video about it and everything. I need to organize a little bit better my Youtube collections. I...

Today I harvested my first red bell pepper. I made a commemorative photo of it. This time I waited for the fruit to ripen. Once it was nice and red, I harvested the bell pepper. I pondered a bit on how to use it. In the end, I used it to flavor the spaghetti. The trick is to put it close to the end of the meal. This allows the spaghetti to get the nice flavor of the bell pepper, and it allows for the pepper to retain its texture. Aside from helping with the flavor, the bell pepper can...

This is about the second blog about Key West. The first one just focused on the Parrot Keys. This one is more about Key West. On the first day, we spent it trying to get to the hotel. The second day when we went home. Before heading back, we explored a bit Key West. It was quite crowded, but the folks were sporting masks. Key West is pretty clean, and there have not been deaths in months. In that place, it almost felt like life had gone back to normal. I wish things were nice again. I have been pondering...
