> [@nelliebly](#): > > **flyboy** , I got a kick out of the sativa mistake. I guess there’s no better place to get the virtual munchies than at a virtual potluck! Especially when there’s ‘[chronic](https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/the-chronic/)’ in the thread title. 😉 ---

I’m not sure about the rules of this virtual pot-luck. If it’s stuff that I actually have on hand right now, then I’m bringing chicken fajitas (leftover from last night) and petite sirloin steaks waiting to go on the grill in a little while, along with baked potatoes and a green salad with strawberries and almonds. If it’s something that I _can and do_ make, then in deference to **Nut** , I’m bringing a pot of vegetarian chili verde. My recipe started out from [This recipe](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/vegetarian-chili-verde-recipe-2095720) from Giada, and hasn’t veered off from it by too much. It’s really good. Oh, and I read ‘sativa’ as ‘saliva’ the first time. 😕 Pass me a beer. ---

Spaghetti with meat sauce over here. Also burger patties with a 50/50 mix of ground beef and bulk breakfast-style sausage. Pick your own cheese, bread, and toppings. 🙂 I rule that virtual foods are calorie- and allergen- free, so live it up. 🙂 ---

Oh, and assorted fruit. We have fresh apples and oranges, plus canned peaches, pears, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. ---

No rules, it IS virtual after all. Although I do actually have the cookies.😛 ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Bear in mind that it’s not even 0700 yet, and I’ve only been out of bed for one cuppa joe minutes. I read that as ‘sugar or **sativa** (I use **sativa** )’. No, no, no, **Johnny**! The sativa is for the brownies. 😃 **OW** , what are the neighbors going to do with their little farm when they have to go back to work? **sari** , I’ve been chilly all day too. I blame it on the rain. **nut** , the cuke salad is vegetarian. I also made spinach soufflé to go with the chicken Oporto, so you have another side. Did a lot of reading before fixing supper. Supper was one of those meals that dirtied about half the dishes in my kitchen. 😛 Fortunately, while the soufflé was in the oven, the rice cooking and the chicken simmering, I got most of them done. Now, it’s kicking back in the studio. Stay healthy y’all! ---

I haven’t seen yeast, flour, or paper products in a few weeks. Even napkins are MIA for reasons unknown. Hope people aren’t wiping their bums with those as that’ll clog the sewers! My store had some sugar in bags that they packed, but other than weird stuff like almond flour, nothing in the baking section other than cornmeal. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > I planted a bunch of radish seeds in an 8-inch pot last week. Now they’re sprouting, and I don’t know what to do with them. The seed packet says to thin them so that the plants are 1 or 2 inches apart. I don’t have anyplace to thin them _to_. Maybe I’ll just let them grow and see what happens. You don’t thin them TO anywhere. Seedlings are too fragile to relocate reliably. You pull out the excess seedlings, say a little prayer over their tiny souls to the gods of gardening, and remind yourself that next time - next time! - you’ll try to scatter the seeds more thinly. Lather, rinse, repeat next season. (If they’re ultra crowded, they’ll choke each other out and you won’t get any radishes at all. Like kids touching a hot stove, though, I think this is a lesson everyone has to learn for themselves in person. Having someone tell you doesn’t have quite the same impact.)
