Grits and Bacon Bits! A Marriage Made in Heaven!
Am I the only guy who throws some bacon bits into his grits just before plating ’em? It’s a very cool trick I discovered while camping last winter and it works just as well in the kitchen, folks! Of course, I don’t mean bacon… Continue Reading “Grits and Bacon Bits! A Marriage Made in Heaven!”
Hikers, Hunters, Birders and Campers Love the Tosohatchee WMA
Just 20 minutes east of Orlando is the Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area and it’s a site well worth seeing for outdoor-loving folk like you!

Ben Sneaks Off to the Beach on Thanksgiving Eve!
I had a ball at the beach today! Didn’t decide to go until about 1:45 this afternoon, so it wasn’t the longest beach outing I’ve had lately, but it was time very well spent. My schedule and my budget have conspired to keep me… Continue Reading “Ben Sneaks Off to the Beach on Thanksgiving Eve!”
A Visit to My County’s Ag Extension Service
Some of you may know that I’ve been wanting to find ways to grow stuff. I had a ball gathering some ideas at Orlando’s Veg Fest nine days ago. There were hundreds of companies, growers, educators and agencies who rented tables for the event;… Continue Reading “A Visit to My County’s Ag Extension Service”
Bulldog Needs to Get Back to Butterfly Heaven Soon!
Moss Park. Lots and lots of Butterflies. That was back in the springtime and it was an outdoor excursion I’ll always treasure. One of the best EVER for this puppy, sans un doute!
