Why goatygoat?? The question is, why not goatygoat? Goatygoat is a spring in your step, a roll in the grass, and a tin can for dinner. Goatygoat enjoys candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. Goatygoat lives in the now! Goatygoat is all this, and more.
Hummingbird Feeder
I got this as a gift from Olivia for my bridal shower in Minnesota. Or, rather, Ollie took the time to hop online and find a boutique in my town, so I wouldn’t have to carry anything back on the plane. This is what I picked out with her gift certificate.
It’s made of recycled glass, and the birds love it!
Heirloom Tomatoes
I love these lumpy, discolored tomatoes more than just about any other foodstuff on earth, with the possible exception of soft, stinky cheese. More on that later. These tomatoes taste like tomatoes are supposed to…acidic, tangy, with a finish of earthiness that makes me think of childhood. Also, they’re pretty, which is more than can be said for the mealy pink tasteless circles of tomato that you get on your Big Mac.
Plastic Yard Flamingos
My yard is covered in these awful creatures. I love them. Our neighbor’s kid takes pleasure in rearranging them a few times a week, so I never know where they’ll be when I open the front gate. We’ll probably never live in another neighborhood where it’s acceptable, downright encouraged, to have a yard full of the ‘mingos, so it’s now or never for the Mingos Dynasty.
Soft, Stinky Cheese
Seastack from Mt. Townsend Creamery is where it’s at, kids. This stuff has a vegetable ash rind, a very smooth liquidy first layer, and an earthy-tasting inner cheese that’s to die for. Even Randy, man-who-likes-few-cheeses, asks for this one.
Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 12:43PM So, our new apartment is really a 400 square foot house, all full of awesomeness.
Its foundation has settled somewhat, which explains the two slugs I found slugging across the floor yesterday.
Tonight’s project: slugproofing our apartment before the Turkletons arrive tomorrow!

slugproofing for the turkletons? not necessary. in fact, i think i could have fun placing slugs on top of my sleeping husbands belly while he sleeps.
I know Trish is a wonderful chef.......maybe she could whip up something with the slugs! Kind of like escargot aren't they?
Have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather you are having.
A thin line of cinnamon and/or cayenne pepper at entry points works great and is comparatively non-toxic.
They're pretty amazing creatures, all things considered. Have fun with S&T.
The slugs are pretty awesome...just not in my kitchen, with bare feet, first thing in the morning.
The cinnamon and cayenne idea sounds conspicuously like my mother's idea above. I suppose, by forcing them to self-season on their way into the house, it would really speed up the kitchen time.
Speed being relative, as they ARE slugs, after all.
