Ärende: Dirt vs. Soil
=====================
Hi Dave,


 RH> We had what the locals called calichi in our back yard in Copperas
 RH> Cove, TX. I think it was the grey version of your red clay; I kept an
 RH> term (about 15 months before we moved onto Fort Hood), we didn't do
 RH> anything to try to improve it. I don't know what they did (other than
 RH> maybe truck in topsoil) to break it down enough to let grass grow.

 DD> Caliche is a surface deposit consisting of sand or clay impregnated
 DD> with crystalline salts such as sodium nitrate or sodium chloride.

I never dug that deep into what it was, just tried to keep it out of the
house. Before we got a dryer, I had to hang our clothes out on a line
that was in the back yard. Keeping the old shoes handy to slip on kept
the house much neater. Our girls played either in the front yard or at
neighbor's houses (we had their kids at our house as well).


 DD>       Title: Texas Fried Corn
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Dairy
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

 DD>       4 c  Scraped corn; see below
 DD>       4 oz Can chopped green chilies
 DD>       4 sl Bacon; diced
 DD>       1 c  Half & half
 DD>       2 tb Butter
 DD>            Salt & pepper

It looks good but Steve seems to be getting more sensitive to corn and
the migraine effects so I've cut way back on serving it. Maybe I can
make this for a pot luck and try it then. (G)
