Mesquite crop of 2011






My cache of around 50 lbs. is kept in my cocoons for when "someone" raises their hand and says, "boy, at 75 that is a compliment", boy they will say, with your none traditional wording, needing editing, and with your out of the traditional pictures, we have been convinced that there is something in that there mesquite bean and the rest of your Total Mesquite Industrialization, and so we like to put some money and start the ball rolling, here is our administrator and accountant with a checkbook, go get them doggies." Then I will brake open my cocoons one by one and start showing the accountant numbers and samples of cookies and ethanol and beer and and and we will show them the merits of this "SECOND AND FREE  CORN, GOD HAS GIVEN US".

Blessed be the obstinate for they will hit the wall again and again, someone once told me, George if you keep your nose to the grind, expect only a ground nose.

P/D The cocoons are made by wrapping the cooled dried beans in a double trash bag and then wrapped with shrink wrap over and over until you don't feel any mesquite barbs (the one you intended to hit your friends with if you were born in a farm and in Texas) protruding. (outch!)

TDA 2011

Made contact with the Department and was told by Deputy Dr. Drew Deberry that Mr. Jason of the Department of Evaluation of the worth of Bio-masses to be considered for the production of Ethanol would be in contact with me and that I had come to the right place.
Hope it all works out for the 2011 harvest has began to drop in the southern part of the state and it would be grand to be able to answer all the questions by economists on the value of the idea and capability of bringing the beans to the point were they can be ground and mixed with water to make a soup in which yeast organism can ferment it into alcohol for use as a bio-fuel with renewable capability, for in numbers is the value of the idea but these can only b e obtained with large enough experimentation.
The breads and cookies are in mind of cooks and investors in Bay-view, Texas for this year awaiting also the dollar contribution by me.
Certainly at 2 months of getting the thick of the harvest fall from the trees the chances of doing a large large experiment are all but dead, except for a Desert Rat , Rambo type of attack on the problematic.

Annie at 617-650-4714 a newspaper person from California asking about Mesquite

Visited with her and talked about Mesquite and the relationship with Rudy Arredondo of NLFRTA that was whom redirected her to me.
Told her about my blog, and noticed during the conversation that I had a couple of entries to make in order to update the whereabouts of the whole idea of Mesquite utilization.
So here are the updates:

Fantastic references:

This last reference has to do with the work of Dr. Becker of the WRRL back in 1958  and seen he has an entry as late as 1982 on the Journal of Food Chemistry and Agriculture
