Happy Sunny Sunday!

I have slugs problem inside my greenhouse. I seem to grow them more than I grow my vegetables πŸ˜…πŸ§πŸ˜…πŸ§ So, I browsed the net on how to safely remove them. Saw someone on YouTube using a can of beer poured into a container and all slugs would come and get drunk on it. Nope. Didn't work for my slugs. They are too smart, or maybe too picky. Maybe they prefer Long Island tea, perhaps, or creamy Chocolate Bailey 🀣

Anyhoo!

For today's recipe, it's Indonesia style Potato Croquet πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹
