Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
A million years ago, my best friends parents had a slip in SF Bay, right where they built then so named Pac Bell Park.
Upon building, those grandfathered in received 6 games worth of tickets-free.
Good seats too.
We'd stay on the boat.
After the game, we'd pile up the hill, listening for saxophones 🎷.
There were no better times than those...
Man that sounds like home
 
I had venison, street corn, and nectarines plus a small cheese quesadilla.
 
Wasn't feeling too spiffy tonight so special request:

Posting food without the recipe is prohibited, lol.

I was writing that before reading your other post, lol.
 
But better
Well... I'm not a fan of peaches, pears, apricots, or nectarines so there is that.

Give me plums, apples, and cantaloupe! I'll eat about any fruit but I enjoy these the most.
 
Catherine made pozole for supper. Her recipe is from my aunt who spent a lot of years in Central America. It didn't turn out as delicious as usual because she came up shirt in the dried peppers you toast and use to flavor the broth. Still good, just not as great as usual

All good. Personal favorite is dark cherries, sweetheart in particular. I do like canned peaches and pears better than fresh.
