Today we are in NYC to show you how to make grilled peaches. Or at least try out a grilled peaches recipe, in the center of the world, Brooklyn, New York.

It wasn’t very long before Indiana rose up to defend itself against the comments made on GardenFork Radio. Listen as co-host Mike tries desperately to distance himself from Eric’s penchant for talking before thinking. And we learn how to buy a sailboat cheap.

Eric got the great idea of using a mason jar metal ring for poaching eggs from Elise of Simply Recipes

We talk about podcasts we like, here is Eric’s list

Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me

here’s what bruce did today , he left this comment on the GF Radio episode, “Why did I do that dumb thing”

I thought about the “why did I do that dumb thing” Saturday morning.  I got up and my wife announced that the washing machine wasn’t agitating the clothes, even though the motor was still making noise.

I thought to myself, “this might be something I could fix.”  So within an hour of getting-up and without any coffee in my system, I went down to the basement to access the situation.  The washer tub was full of water and when I turned the washer on no movement from the agitator.  Why do men have to confirm what their wives tell them?

The next step proved that taking the time to consider each movement is very important.  I pulled the washer away from the wall to see if I could take the back panel off the machine so I could look inside.  It moved fairly easily considering the tub was filled with water.  And I was watching to make sure the water hoses had plenty of slack as I coaxed the washer further out.

Then we heard a loud breaking sound.  I had failed to consider the washer drain hose that was in the pvc drain pipe.  I broke the drain pipe after one forceful pull on the washer, causing water to drain from the washer all over the basement floor.  After a few tense husband/wife moments we came to our senses and placed the washer hose in the washer tub, stopping the drainage. Thankfully, our basement has a concrete floor.

We did look at the back panel though.  After a few attempts, we decided that perhaps a professional will be needed.  Our landlord will have to fix the drain pipe before we can use the washer anyways.:)

Clearly, this was a “why did I do that dumb thing” moment.  Think I’ll stick to cooking, taking care of my backyard birds, and smoking.

I have two mature blueberry bushes in our yard, and a few years back I added some blueberry saplings I bought from a catalog. The saplings are not doing well. Then last week I saw at a local store small blueberry bushes on sale for $9 each.  I bought a few. I then surfed the web to see if I could plant these new blueberry bushes properly this time. Here is what I learned.

• don’t fertilize them when you plant them, and in the future , don’t use regular plant fertilizer, use on that specifically says for blueberries

• blueberries like acid soil

• blueberry bushes like wood chip mulch.

I got a bunch of woodchips from the town garage, they have a huge pile there, and mulched all my blueberry bushes.

Is there anything you can add to this so I can learn how to do this right?  let me know below:

I got an email from Aimee, one of the hosts of Reeltasty, a supper club in Brooklyn, inviting me to come to one of their dinners. I have not attended yet, but I did get Aimee and her dinner partner Jason on Skype for a GardenFork Radio interview on their version of how to host a supper club. ( we woke up jason on an early saturday morning )  You can check out their dinner and a movie supper club in Brooklyn here

Do you have a version of this you do? Or another salad that uses egg as a dressing? Tell us below, thx!
