I didn't mean to offend
with "dog vomit slime mold,"
but it is the name of this
particular of God's creations.
And it's very interesting to watch the life cycle
of this short-lived organism.
I just thought this was an unusual garden "find" and I wanted to share.
Perhaps, I should have called it Fuligo septica.
I will say this. I've had a dog, Rosie (Black Lab),
and I have a dog now, Dixie (Chesapeake Bay Retriever),
and when I saw fuligo septica
in my mulch the first time last August,
I immediately thought of dog vomit.
It's a natural thing. And I'm nothing if not all about the edumacation.
Peace.
Last night,
I was blooggling
and came across this recipe
for Moroccan Spiced Chicken and Fennel.
With couscous.
And I don't like couscous.
Yet.
Please click on the above link and peruse the recipe
to get the basic idea.
Well, folks,
of course,
this was going to be dinner.
I went out on my own on this
since I didn't have all of the ingredients
the recipe called for.
For example, the orange juice.
I had none.
Very unusual.
Fresh or otherwise.
Shame on me.
(Now, after shopping,
I have 6 oranges,
$0.99/pound
and 4 cartons of Tropicana,
Extra Pulp, With Vitamin D and Calcium.
On sale at Food Lion for 2/$5.00.)
So I used lemon juice last night.
I had no ground ginger.
But of course I had frozen ginger root.
I wasn't about to dig up 1 of my 2 fennel plants
for the root.
I used the leaves instead.
Then I added more stuff in.
Like carrots.
And mint.
And apples.
And because I had no pine nuts
because I don't really like them,
I added toasted cashews.
I despise couscous.
Never, ever have made it to my liking.
But I'm going for it again.
Anybody want to send me
couscous recipes,
go right ahead.

I used the chicken with bones.
Not boneless breasts.
I'm lazy and didn't feel like boning them.
Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
I mean it really looks delicious,
in spite of what I've said about it.
NOT!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
It's the DOG VOMIT SLIME MOLD!
WHOOT!!!!!
It's all a matter of perception.
Anonymous,
chill, kick back, relax.
Life is short.
Enjoy its pleasures and gifts.
And be thankful for every day you get.
It may be my last.
And here it is.
Sadly.
On a plate.
Languishing.
With two pretty much nasty
attachments which weren't worth the time
it took me to make them.
I was going to blog last night's dinner,
then I said to myself,
"Self? Why are you taking up cyberspace
talking about this dreck?
It ain't worth it.
Move ON.
So I did.
But first,
here's a closeup of the chicken:
