Finally finished!

After 28 years of waiting, including nearly two months for some clown that kept not showing up, it’s finally finished! Missed the planting window for a lot of seeds, and have to hook up a power cord and the hose, plus add pavestones in the middle, but I am thrilled! Going to start adding plants today. Shipped a lemon tree from CO, hope that it survived.

Backyard Discovery Zalie greenhouse kit. Assembly (by a professional) took three days.

Wonder what this means?

Last night I dreamed that I was in a van or a camper with my daughter and my crush (with whom I am not speaking.) My daughter and I were singing. I can’t remember the song. Something beautiful, like “Leather and Lace,” but that wasn’t it. Same era, though. We sounded like angels, which may not be accurate IRL.

Crush was driving. I don’t know where we were going, or why. Or why the van or camper. I do not like vans or camping. But I didn’t seem perturbed. All three of us were in the front seat. I was in the middle. We had apparently been on the road for a while. I have a son, too, but he wasn’t in the car. He’s older (26) than my daughter (22). Crush does not have kids.

I am in the process of moving back to NY. Daughter is planning to move to NY, too. Crush lives in a different coastal state. Maybe crush will move, as well? Sadly, I woke up too early. No idea of destination or even where we were. Maybe there were trees. Maybe a highway. Think it was dark-ish. Not sure.

Aldi GF pizza crust review

Found Maria Cozzi GF pizza crust at Aldi! Naturally, it was about half the size of a “regular” ball of dough, but whatever.

I rolled it out, badly, and stuffed the misshapen edges with string cheese. I’ve never had a cheese-stuffed crust, so thought, why not?

Used tomato-olive pesto as a base because I didn’t have an open jar of tomato sauce. Added artichoke quarters and red onion, topped with thick-cut shredded mozzarella. Baked for 18 minutes. 16-17 would have been fine, too.

The crust was very thin and very crispy! I don’t know if a slightly shorter baking time would have resulted in a chewy crust. I rolled it out very thinly.

It was very yummy. One small slice put me in a cheese coma. I would buy this crust again, but probably combine two packages for a bigger pizza.

▲ 3 r/Yelp

I moved from CO to NY, specifically Long Island. I adore our CM. He’s great! But too many of the Elite events are over a one-hour drive each way, which is a bit much. I’ll drive 30-40 minutes, but over an hour? Nah.

I called HQ and left a message asking if they would consider adding a second CM to Long Island. Like, say, Denver and Boulder. No callback. Is there someone specific to contact?

It just seems like the community, as well as many Yelpers, would be better served by more local events. Our CM is doing a great job, but many events are just too far for me and several others—Garden City, Mineola, etc. However, events further East—Riverhead, the Hamptons, etc—are a long drive for those west of Medford. It seems simple to give our CM the western half of the island, where he lives, and hire someone else to handle the eastern end. All events could be open for all island elites to attend if they wished, and just one Yelpies for both? Somewhere in the middle?

I don’t know if there are enough Elites on the east end to justify a second CM, to be fair, but they could certainly recruit from reviews.

Thoughts?
