I cannot imagine that I ever would have tried Bloody Butcher tomatoes under any other circumstance than that I was gifted the seed. The person thought they were very special and, with a similar climate, I decided what the heck. They are indeed a very special heirloom tomato for full flavor and...

I walked the Indoor Mile this afternoon. It's about the 3rd time over the last 3-4 weeks. I can't say that I'm doing daily exercise but the health professionals say 5 days a week. I've had that, mostly with outdoor work. The mile stretches my arms with all the reaching but that and the walk are...

Kix and Honeynut Cheerios in the bowl with a sliced banana. A very nice combination — corn Kix, oat Cheerios. A favorite :). I may need a measure of solace over the next couple of days. The weather may not happen as predicted – altho little moisture was promised. Our cloudy, rainy days are...

That is certainly one "lovely tomato” — I very much agree! My first thought is if peach lover DW would be happy with It. Personally, I am more influenced by names. I just can't get past a name and am often seriously distracted trying to imagine what the heck was someone thinking by naming it...

Somehow. On this day.

Spring Rolls in October? And, why not?!

It has been raining. What is this? I think it's called humidity 🤨. There are no puddles but it looks as tho the Weather Service is saying we had about 1/10 inch. Supposed to continue. Steve!

. I'm Kidding! :D!

And, here’s a picture of the snack bag for everyone, esp @flowerbug :). This was purchased at the Dollar Tree. Normally, I wouldn't recommend buying a snack at a dollar store but this a Calbee product and we buy the Green Pea Snack Crisps quite often. This was new and DW went for it ;).

That's basically "it," dahlia. I looked in a half dozen cookbooks but really think that I originally used Mom's Good Housekeeping. Checked my GH cookbook but it is about 40 years newer than hers was ;). I can say that I forgot to mention the diced carrots in that post! The veggies, beef and the...

Microwaved egg? You can do it, @Dahlia . Scrambled. Only takes a few seconds for 1 egg. You had better stay and look through the glass with a finger poised to turn it off because, it is so likely to explode! One egg. I am much more likely to make it in the skillet as a "toad in a hole." Butter...

I thought to share some recipes that popped up in my news feed from Eating Well magazine. Ignore the idea of "canned." If you are like us, there's a ton of tomatoes coming out of the garden. The idea of tomatoes and cabbage may get a try. Beef and barley is a common Winter soup, I don't know why...

Recovered the southeast corner of the greenhouse (sunshed). I hope it was worthwhile. The uv-resistant film was new and leftover from complete replacement about 5 years ago. What was put up then cannot last much longer, however. Summer sunlight is what damages plastic film and it made it...

We had stuffed bell peppers yesterday for dinner. It's the time when there are just too many of them to use 1 & 2 at a time. Along with chopped sweet peppers in the stuffing, a few jalapeños went in as well ... and cherry tomatoes. Under the cheese on top and the little pepper stem cap, of...
