his banana is alive as well, but has never fruited.

we have a month of hell and drought to end our growing season...

@Rockhead,
chevre is the soft ripened goat cheese

here we call the soft stuff chevre and the harder goat cheese uhhhh goat cheese

the soft goat cheese is a pretty respectable substitute for cream cheese

one more thought, and I'll quit.

thought about getting some coyote urine (preferably Wile E.) to sprinkle around the outside of the hen house.

to scare the skunks.

but then I wondered if even a coyote would eat a skunk. (I'd rather starve personally)

do skunks have any natural predators other than cars?

@ehBeth,
it's the ripened part that scares me.

goat cheese is kinda ripe to start with...

(I'm not sure we have any french stores here on the prairie. I'll have to hunt to find tofutti)

I hope it doesn't turn out to be french as well...

have you tried building a pie on a base of shredded taters? I find it a pretty tasty alternative

Quote:
Gluten-free shredded potato pizza crust

Ingredients:

1 2/3 cups shredded russett potatoes (I used 2 1/2 small, unpeeeled potatoes)

pinch of salt

1 egg, beaten

1/2 red onion, grated


Directions:
Put the potatoes in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 min.

Then press as much moisture as possible out of the potatoes.

Combine the potatoes, egg, and onion in a small bowl.

Lightly oil a pie pan, and press the mixture into the bottom.

Bake at 400 for 20 min, then spritz with olive oil and bake an additional 10-15 min (until crust is nicely browned).

Makes 1 individual pizza.

I'm planning to make this for my pal Brenda.

Like a skinny latke with pizza toppings.

I was planning to use spinach, peppers, olives, a little chevre, garlic, onions, a little tomato paste



I saw a recipe recently that used onions and butternut squash as toppings. May give that a try as well.

Cool
