Schnoodle is one of the things that I miss from Reddit. Not enough to sign back in, but those poems did make me smile and even shed a few tears occasionally.

Wow, that's faster than I thought. One hour to prep gives a few hours of heat. If you're making your own bread dough, you're probably waiting for the final rise while you stoke the oven.

Thanks for the info. I've heard they take a while to heat up. How much time do you need to fire it up and preheat prior to baking the bread?

Brings back memories of our caravan/hiking trip in Tasmania. We saw quite a few fairy wrens in the campgrounds. The colour of these birds is surreal, so brilliant that they are almost cartoon-ish. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so jealous of that outdoor wood-fired oven. I have some homemade sourdough pizzas that would be marvelous baked in that beauty.

Kinglets are super cute bouncing around the bushes and have quite a loud song for their size. I was happy to be able to save this one and see it up close. Never would have been able to catch a close-up otherwise.

This is the second one to show up (see my previous post). The deer got the first one and have now ate it down to the ground.

It smells like sweet almonds.

I agree, I will do a more detailed identification before cooking it up for the family. They call these "The Prince" around here.

Thanks for your input and narrowing it down to agaricus. Agaricus augustus seems more prevalent in our area and matches the description on local online sites. This species is apparently edible but I'm afraid this particular one is well past its prime picking time.

I was thinking it was a deer also and maybe our dog spooked him off before he finished his meal. We have a lot of blacktail deer here. They eat everything, and our landscaping reflects their appetite.

Along with the occasional comment and vote, I talk about Lemmy with friends and encourage them to join, especially those still suffering with that other site that shall not be named.
