I&#8217;ve got a pretty good plant die-off in the shrimp tank, and I think I just need to avoid floaters in that tank since they grow too fast and keep light from getting to the plants below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a shower, I ran across town to see if the Ridgewood Brothers had anything left for the day. They were winding down and cleaning up, so I helped Grant take down the canopies and then spent a really good amount of time catching up with Robert. It blows me away how much those guys remember from back in the day, but I&#8217;m guessing still being in that circle helped keep a lot of those memories alive. I hate that I had to step out of it for so long, but I&#8217;m happy to have an opportunity to peek back in occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ACtC-3cindAwoR2gMrn5JAD8Umc5qvs4SxivPtMolhqmp5AFho_mWXQT-_JwFkyLz_u9-_vyMraVQiPx-yDQhoBw4gZ4wmxbMp56zJUYVmBUD61PRDoZR20z1L6WL7hhzT9J7QaCQrdOzZpDGFgBrnt2fh1Vdg=w1292-h970-no?authuser=0\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they finished cleaning up, I picked up their last five pounds of smoked turkey and headed to Walmart for a few things. Then I headed up to Summer&#8217;s to make some salads for dinner. When we finished, I decided to take it upon myself to clean up the three bananas she had left on the counter all week that were as dark as the night. I don&#8217;t remember, in my lifetime, having ever made a banana bread by myself. It&#8217;s possible that either Robert or Grant could recall a time at Papa John&#8217;s when I somehow concocted a way to bake one in the oven using some kind mixture of pizza dough and banana peppers, but as far as I can tell, tonight was my first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It. Was. <strong>Awesome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just found a recipe online that looked relatively simple, and got to it. The streusel on top really made it, and I got through the whole ordeal without having it spill out into the bottom of the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We watched a bit of <em>Forged in Fire<\/em> until Summer couldn&#8217;t keep her eyes open, and we called it a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I can&#8217;t wait to start cold turkey tomorrow.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer had to go by the shop to take care of some stuff today, so I took some time to do some [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[36,37],"class_list":["post-4354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-food","tag-friends"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4354"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4356,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4354\/revisions\/4356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
