Grubs Enter the Gut-Brain Connection, While Almost Homemade Sunscreen Raises Alarms About Food Scrounge News

Thanks for your comments on our wild-domestic menagerie on the Creek. Today I did battle with roaches, sometimes euphemistically called “water bugs”. Hey, a roach is a roach. Did I tell you I once woke up with one on my face (this was in LA)? They are a fact of life in warm, humid locales. Roach photos are too gory for a G-rated site, so click on the Food Scrounge News tab for the latest information instead.

Roach control is not in their job description

Soylent Green Glazes Over Coffee Withdrawal and Tick Allergies as Donuts Go Wild Over Food Scrounge News

My challenges with page updates were resolved by deleting over two years of news links. So even though you can store massive amounts of data on your blog, it works better if you get rid of clutter, just like Mom says. Click on Food Scrounge News tab for food & nutrition news and hysteria. Happy Father’s Day to all you blogging dads!

David, me, and the MZ. Towels are from David’s dip in the creek.

This is Your Brain on Cronuts: Fat Phobia, Beer Belly, and Lots of Numbers for Food Scrounge News

Yesterday the phone line servicing the area was cut, and today I can’t update the Food scrounge News page without getting a “WordPress is not responding” message. Has anyone experienced this problem? Enough whining. Today you saved a click or two by reading the post here. How about a nature walk on our driveway instead? We saw this water snake stretched out just before sunset last week. The scrounge cats ran like hell when they saw it.

The snake is about 3 feet long. It moved very slowly and did not seem disturbed by our presence. No, it is not a poisonous snake. There are six poisonous species in this area: Timber rattler, Pygmy rattler, Coral, Cottonmouth, Copperhead, and the Diamond back rattlesnake.
This guy is a Southern Water snake, lethal to mosquitoes and other insects. Food news is below.

One Small Win for Blood Type Diets While Rock Extracts Make Peace with Meat, Buttermilk Spice Cake and Food Scrounge News

Last week I turned the page on another year. Here is the cake to prove it. Buttermilk Spice Cake is very easy to make. Just dump all ingredients into a bowl, then mix to combine. I used an immersion blender instead of a stand or hand-held mixer. It worked fine with a whip attachment. Though I did have a Bass-o-Matic moment when I turned the thing on and wasn’t grasping the bowl. It slid radpidly to the edge of the sink but all turned out well. The last photo is dark, not the cake. When done it is a light golden brown. I added about 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Frosting isn’t necessary. Serve with whipped topping and vanilla ice cream.

Salty Spiders or Popcorn Coronaries? Try Mouse Melons and Waffle Tacos to Enhance Your Mood for Food Scrounge News

Shhhh…don’t tell anyone. Miss scrounge cat #2 is in a forbidden place.
There are several reports on dining habits in this week’s edition. Click the Food Scrounge News tab to access research and nonsense.

I generally don’t care for most recipes in fundraising church-type cookbooks, but these look worth trying.

The roadside markets are loaded with watermelons. The watermelon cooler would be perfect with some vodka added.

Sneaky Hummus is Casting Doubt on Doctors’ Latenight Cravings for the Lipstick Lowdown and Food Scrounge News

Many thanks for the recent comments. It means a lot to me. Mr. Mike and I have been unable to connect for several days due to a severed phone line from our neighbor grading our gravel driveway. Good to eliminate potholes, bad for communication. Food Scrounge News is available for perusal. Another site to check out is from local chef/restauranteur Rober St. John: http://www.robertstjohn.com He has a weekly column in the newspaper. The latest is Candia Love. It’s about one of those hidden gems serving great food by a person in love with food and people. This week’s column also has a recipe for turnip greens and pork stock. I’d like to see the recipe for fried rabblits though! So would these two, except cooking isn’t necessary. Scrounge cat #1 (grey & white) caught (and ate) plenty of rabbits in his younger days.
