Someone sent me an e-cookbook of “taste-alike” recipes. So, Papa says, “Does if have Steak-n-Shake Chili”. I look, and it does. That was Saturday morning, and Saturday night we had it for dinner, with our apple pie. Papa said it was the same, and he loved it. I didn’t like it so much, but it [...]

I’m buried in tomatoes. I canned some more yesterday, but I’m pretty done with that. And tired of it, too. I’m going to peel the ripe ones and make another batch of salsa. We eat it on everything when it’s available. It’s actually more like Pico de Gallo. D1 introduced me to a recipe from [...]

Papa and I went out to the garden last night, and picked many cucumbers and zucchini. We also cut a lot of lettuce, and pulled a few carrots and beets. I picked one cabbage to eat, I enjoy slaw this time of year. I was able to give some cucumbers away, but we are overrun [...]
