My daughter made some TexMex today:

So I did a thing…I made a garden. But no not a zoa garden or acan garden. I made a mastergrade rainbow trachy garden!

If anyone wants to learn terms you might see thrown around in coral names…

Ultra = min 3 colors
Rainbow = minimum 4 colors
Mastergrade = minimum 5 colors

And had the pumps off to do some feeding and was able to get some food photos and wanted to share!

What’s everyone think of trachy garden? Is it better as a group or should they be spread out all around the tank ?

I'm on team, pile em up

start gluing the tongue depressors together.
hope it goes well.

I asked the phlebotomist, she is older than me if you can believe that, to be my Valentine and she said yes so at least there’s that.

 

[kevgib67]

will it be a pile of crawdads? or maybe some type of gumbo?
will there be any Voodoo involved?
Is it me or does it look like Alf is sticking Kev?

You weren’t on here yet when I made gumbo! Scroll way way back.

I do really like some acan lords haha. That said, I've got an acan echinata waiting for me at cultivated reef that was fragged not this weekend but the one before. Slightly different but at least I do have one coming :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Aren't those aggressive? Beautiful coral

 

[kingranch2003]

Morning y'all!
Happy Friday!

Enjoy your valentines day!

IYKYK Joel! Well done sir

 

[kevgib67]

Finished, it has to simmer for an hour, to be continued.

 

[kingranch2003]

Is creole and cajun seasoning the same?

No sir

 

[kingranch2003]

Creole is usually not ground so fine, bigger pepper flakes etc.
Cajun seasoning is usually ground incredibly fine.
I use it to blacken salmon, steak, etc.

Creole dishes are more tomato friendly too. Creole gumbo has tomatoes.

I believe so, but I'll find a nice spot for it and have my acan lords as well :grinning-face-with-sweat: im getting a good enough deal that I can trade the colony for something really nice later on if it becomes a problem

My daughter made some TexMex today:

I need to get me a daughter that cooks like that! I’m trying to figure out what the two things are next to the orange slices?

Unfortunately they're pear like slices. Not my favorite but I ate them anyway.

For lol a second I thought this was a wad of hamburger either cheese stuck in it. Was very confused as to why Kevin had one cheesey meatball

How many servings did you have? Maybe I'm a fatty but my wife does this to me sometimes and I'm like "where's the rest of the meal?" :grinning-face-with-sweat:

 

[kevgib67]

Lunch time...

a kebob and what type of soup? Japanese?

 

[Calmwaters]

a kebob and what type of soup? Japanese?

It was sushi and clear broth soup

 

[kevgib67]

Finished product, I had to substitute a spicy smoky cajun sausage as I couldn’t find the conecuh sausage. Thanks for sharing the recipe @ShakeyGizzard ot will be on rotation at my house!

I don't know if I told you all (pretty sure I didn't) but I'm quiet right now because I'm pretty sure I'm down with the flu. Fevers and coughs. I'll live but sometimes it doesn't feel like it... :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I'm not ignoring you all (sorry Kev, this includes you) but I'm not posting a lot these past couple of days.

I am around and watching/monitoring the threads, just not interacting a ton.

Flu, rsv, and covid are running rampant right now again. Be sure you rest and get plenty of fluids. We have had two children die from the flu already this year.
