Kiteboarding Ft Desoto Park, Pinellas County Florida

It was so hot out and the AC was on the blink so we headed out to Ft Desoto on the southern tip of Pinellas County to catch a breeze. LOTS of kites were in the air. We could see them the moment we crested the bridge leading into Ft Desoto Park. We hung a left at the flagpole heading for the East Beach

Watching the kites boarders is always fun and any breezy day one will find a few out there, but never had we seen the number present on Sunday. It looked like it might have been a contest. We parked right on the water, facing the Skyway Bridge, to watch the action.

6 Comments on Pizza On the Grill: When Things Go Wrong

Making Pizza on the grill has become an obsession for Kalle and I. Every weekend we have to try again. Now, what you have to understand about our process is that we have decided we MUST make our own dough. Oh, in the beginning we used the Publix dough, but it just seemed proper to develop our own dough recipe. This alone has been a hilarious undertaking.

For instance, I’ve never made bread in my life and knew nothing about properties of yeast and what it looked like when it “reacted.” The first attempt was on a cold day and I followed the instructions for warm water but nothing really happened..

Spring Earthbox Planting

Hi Folks!
The Earthbox is planted! The spring selection is Roma tomatoes, a bell pepper plant and 6 Romain lettuce babies. Looks pretty good! This shot is immediately after planting.

Six days after planting, the lettuce has hardened up a bit and everything looks happy.
