A caveat: you may want to put a piece of plywood or something over the top of the barrels, to keep debris out. At the very least, put a little piece of wood -- a stick or something -- in there, so little birds won't drown. If they get in there, they can climb onto the stick, dry out and fly away. Food grade poly drums are available from canneries. They buy their vinegar in them. Jan |

Why would food grade drums be necessary for catching rain water running off a non food grade roof... to do what... pour on the non food grade ground. Am I missing something, or why wouldn't an ordinary plastic trash can be suitable? You can buy low quality for like $10-$15 but they will decay from UV exposure and probably crack from freezing temps.

Thanks for the Wiki link! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpaccio I've seen it served with slices of fresh tomato and fresh basil leaves too, much like Insalata Caprice. But, that's served with fresh made cheese slices.

I'll draw the line at maggots. g I do enjoy Sashimi and raw beef but will not eat raw pork or chicken. The texture leaves much to be desired for one thing. I can eat most veggies raw or cooked. OB gardening, I really need to consider putting in more chard. I love the stuff! I'm also thinking about picking up some beets from the grocery store just to grow the greens. Dad loves beets but I cannot stand them. I love the greens only. ;-d I've noted a trend at the stores now where they've quit chopping off the greens. For awhile there, you could not get beets with the leaves. I've not seen carrot greens in ages. I like to feed fresh greens to Freya, my Goffin's Cockatoo. -- -- Peace!

But....the question remains....how did you fix your carp and did/do you like them? Sold them to local Jewish folk never ate them. Sold our rats to local black folk eat some. Our community was made up of poor blacks, whites, jews and what ever got here. Hand pumps for water and wood or coal for heat. We all were driven out to make for modern expansion. We called it the meadows where my back yard was a large swamp of a few hundred acres. The Philadelphia airport is real close to where I grew up. BTw the projects failed and the area is now a wasted community. They took 1 out of every 3 homes and it is still like that. Folks in our area used to can lots of carp. THe pressuring took care of the bones and the flavor was reminiscent of tuna. Pretty damned good eatin' it was. Never canned any fish or meat. Dried fish in a dehydrator and froze meat. Gotta ask ya' this one....you and your dad ever noodle for catfish? Unknown to me. That always gave me the willys, you just *knew* what was comin', but I never got comfortable doing it. I knew some guys what near got drownded using this technique. Brushpiles were dangerous. Sure as hell got skinned up fierce once in a while. Never happened to me, but sometimes bank holes held things other than cats. Charlie, feelin' kind of ........elderly...and missin' the old fun! ;-) I'm not feeling elderly but I'd like to sleep sound and not know what Tinnitus and other health things mean. Looking at my efforts to be healthy I some times the effort was for naught. But when I jump over a curb I think yea.
