Smartie's Bar & Grill #74

It's getting a little tense in the bar.

 

Apologies, I'll get a round in.

 

Given it was her dog, what do you think?

 

Do you have bad water?

 

@Curious Always Do you have a good recipe for Ropa Vieja? I had a good recipe for a flan once and lost it..can't find it. It was made with cream cheese and pineapple it was delicious. It was baked in a bano maria like the regular flan. I now only bake the regular flan.

 

I dunno the meter reads 105. The shrimps are supposed to need 200.

 

wrong place for this. I defer to the bar keeper.

 

Does anyone on here paint?

 

Now what do you do?

 

Next time I'm at my desk, I'll look it up for you.

 

What kind of painting?

 

Thank you..

 

I have used some oils, acrylic's and water colors.

 

I dunno.

 

Call the pet store? Politicalcenter might know what to do, he has shrimp I think.

 

I do watercolour, but I was interested in any kind.

 

Used to? Don't you miss it?

 

This is one of the babies. I counted 4 today. They are in a 5 ft. long, homemade 94 gallon tank. There may be more but I won't move stuff around to find them. Have to wait for fall for another spawn , looks like. I have other crayfish outside.

 

@daisydotell

This is the recipe I use. The Cubans in my life approve.

Yes I do and right now I am doing a bit of dabbling to get in the mood. I did Christmas cards in water color this past Christmas.
I wanted to do some thing in India ink but haven’t got around to it yet.

 

I ordered more shrimp, yesterday. They won't ship until Wednesday. I e-mailed the shrimp breeder.

 

How hard is your water?

 

I used to do a bit of pencil drawing. Never painted.

 

It depends on the tanks. The crayfish started at 8.4 because the water they came from is 8.4 but I add rainwater when doing water changes and it lowers PH over time. The other tanks are near 7.0. I gather rainwater at 6.4 and add a little agriculture lime or baking soda to bring it up to 7.... sometimes.
