This is another recipe (pork chops). We had it yesterday and it is one I recommend and we will have this one again. The pork chops were really good and there was a "sauce" that we put over orzo. We also had purple sweet potatoes and fried green tomatoes. I'm guessing I will be very tired of purple sweet potatoes very soon. Every time we have them, Vince says "I LOVE these purple potatoes." ...
First Load of Zucchini is Finished
The freeze dryer finished last night about 10:30 so the zucchini took less time than I thought it would. Remember the little container that held two cups of shredded zucchini and weighed 300 grams? After drying, the zucchini weighed 15 grams. Huge difference. LOTS of water in zucchini. I ended up with three half gallon jars of shredded zucchini. That's from four trays that were ...
Zucchini for Bread
Tuesday I had about 20 zucchini. I had been saving them for several days and then picked everything left on the vine. I've never been happy with freezing or canning zucchini or yellow squash for future use so this year, I shredded all the zucchini to make zucchini bread. You may remember that about a year ago, I debated for months about whether to buy the Breville food processor, finally ...
A Visit From Old Man Winter
Sunday our high was 92. Tuesday night our low was supposed to be 32 but, as I've mentioned before, it's always a few degrees colder at our home since we live in a little valley. I had been saving zucchini and Tuesday afternoon I picked everything, knowing those plants would not survive the night. When I got up a bit after 5 a.m., it was 24 degrees outside. By the time I thought to take ...
Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets
Over the weekend, I had watched this video where she made several chicken dishes. The Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets looked so good! Yesterday I made it and it was super easy! I didn't have the Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce (thought I did!) so I used some homemade hot sauce, which is very similar to Sriracha and a little hot for Vince's liking so I added less hot sauce and more honey. We're having ...
Spiders
If you don't want to see pictures, don't go any farther. I'm posting a photo of some cayenne peppers I harvested recently so the spiders don't show up. We've had a garden spider in one of the Witch Hazel bushes for at least three months. I've named him Donovan but I really don't know if he's a boy or a girl. I remember that he was here the first part of July because I saw him, then there ...
