appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…f9cc2ee9f7ef273e6d0b8ee51So today I did another experiment. Substituting the milk with the whole goat powder, think three tablespoons, a touch of cayenne pepper or seasoned salt and wait for it.... 4 packs of Helmans Mayo... it worked the mayo is the oil, its added after taking the pasta off the heat to maximize the thickener.

Quote from IMScotty: “What a great find WOO. It would be interesting to learn is that tree is truly resistant, or just lucky and isolated. Hopefully our grandkids will be able to enjoy this magnificent tree once again. ” Yea its one of three left for different reasons. 3 isn't enough diversity for reproduction... just wish they would try harder.
