I've got chicken alfredo (sauce from a jar) with zucchini noodles and broccoli, and a whole bunch of raw veggies with creamy cucumber salad dressing (from Kraft).
Thinking I need something more, but what?....

Pie would be nice, if I had any pie. I was looking at some recipes for peach custard pie 🤤

cw,

My friend took my daughter along on to a blueberry picking farm when she was young. She said that most of the berries didn’t make it into the kid’s baskets! LOL They ate the berries as they picked them.

cw,

I love pepper jelly! I glaze my pork loin with it. My daughter eats it on crackers with cream cheese.

I don’t know how to make jelly, jam or preserves. I have never canned any foods.

Grandma did! She had a huge fig tree in her backyard. She made fig preserves.

Pepper jelly is so easy to make but I don't use it often enough to make that worth my while.

I love farmers markets! We do end up spending a lot but it’s quality produce and specialty foods. I continue to buy my pepper jelly and spicy pickles from a favorite vendor at my farmers market.

Farmers markets are no longer places where bargain hunters find an abundance of cheap produce and food, now they've become chi-chi and we are expected to pay a premium for the privilege. I was just reading about a peach orchard that is charging an entry fee in order to come and pick your own, as well as requiring you buy a minimum amount of fruit.... it's cheaper to shop at the grocery store.

Pulled Pork on a brioche bun
Special Italian Cole Slaw
Pickles were missing.

Pam,

Have you tried any of the Mexican street corn recipes? They look delicious!

Food With Feeling blog! foodwithfeeling.com

They even have a recipe for Mexican street corn nachos. I would eat those as a snack or meal!

This site also has recipes for dog treats. I may have to try making them for my daughter’s dog when he visits us.

I want to try her lentil chili and her sweet potato chili. I make lentil soup and this chili recipe looks great. I love sweet potatoes and have been wanting to try them in a savory way. It looks good too.

Enjoy the performance, Barb! Last time we went to Stratford, we saw anti-Shakespeare: The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Great fun! Great songs! Love it as a play and as a movie.

Lol.
Sounds like what happened to the aging care forum:
"Someone was messing around with friends and created a horror story".

Sadder than sad.

WHAT?!!!
No, it's a children's story.

Oh my, I see on line that someone has been messing around with the Pooh and friends and has created a horror film 🙄

Send,

I just googled Pooh eating Eyeore. The only thing I found was that it was a horror movie. Apparently, Christopher Robin abandoned his animal friends. Pooh was starving and he made the choice to eat Eyeore.

Even though I never liked the character, Eyeore. I don’t think I would enjoy seeing him eaten. Geeeeez! Crazy plot!

Then I read there is a sequel. Don’t think I would watch either one.

Is it true that Winnie the Pooh and Piglet ate Eyeore in the story?
I never read it.
I am shocked.

Its corn on the cob season here, and hubs can now eat more types of food so we are loving it. Our neighbor grows sweet corn beside his "cow corn" and lets us have all we want, and hubs can only eat an ear at a time, but it's fresh every day!! I am in heaven!

We've seen Lear and Richard II. Seeing Wrinkled in Time (my favorite book ever) tomorrow. It's not like we don't have plays in NYC, but we're staying at a lovely place in Mitchell, On with a pool.

NHWM,
Uh oh! Something very similar happened just last night in my kitchen, also having to do with transferring. Details would be boring. But yours was not boring!

I did not enjoy the tuna noodle casserole this time.

Must have been good Cwillie! Cannot find any corn on the cob for two weeks!
This coming from a meat and potatoes lover.

Barb, a vacay and good food! You deserve it!

We are near Stratford Ontario for the Shakespeare Festival. Grilling at our VRBO tonight--Italian sausage, peppers and onions.

So, I decided to cook an Italian green bean dish that my friend makes for my lunch.

Well, I learned my lesson about taking a shortcut. She prepares the veggies in a pot, then transfers them to a baking dish.

I decided to skip the step of transferring them to a baking dish and placed my pot in the hot oven to brown the breadcrumbs on top.

I used a pot holder to remove the pot but the damn pot was still super hot. Ouch! My hand was burning even though I was holding the potholder.

I dropped the stupid pot and green beans went flying all over the place! I cleaned them up and mopped my kitchen floor. So, there was about a tablespoon of my green beans left in the pot! LOL 😆 Not even one serving.

Maybe I will make a salad to eat. Or wait and eat an early dinner. Grrrrrrr!

Sounds good! My husband is working late so I didn’t cook anything. I had Siggi’s yogurt topped with fruit. So hot here. Not hungry for a heavy meal.

Dinner tonight was healthy:
2 cobs of corn
steamed broccoli and garden beans
one entire zucchini cut into rounds and grilled with garlic and butter.
And the last piece of chocolate banana cake for dessert (hey, it had bananas so technically it was fruit 😉)

Logged out.
Came back to say, cooked fried eggs, added broccoli to saute.
It was good.

When I came back, the little blue man is there now.

cw,

I don’t remember people saying that banana peels could make you high. That’s interesting too.

Yes, composting is a wonderful way to use up peelings.

So, you freeze bananas in the peel? I peel them and then freeze them.

I love the discovery of things being used for different purposes.
