Squash Patties ~ Talking to the Cucumbers


Last season, due to storms and wind, and rain, we lost our garden.  This year, we are blessed with yellow squash.  YAY!  One of the family's favorites, is a recipe we make using yellow squash - Squash Patties.  By the way, we top these with sour cream.  Absolutely delicious!  We do follow the recipe, but add the sour cream on top.  



You can jazz them up any way you'd like.  Hubby chopped up a jalapeno and added it to a few for himself.


I spent most of yesterday washing up more laundry.  It would appear that someone in the military lives here, ha ha!



I froze my first bag of green beans this season.  Today I'm shredding and freezing zucchini.  

Am I the only one who talks to their garden?  While picking my green beans, I told the cucumbers that the need to grow slowly, and give me a chance to catch up.  I hope they were listening.

That recipe has been added to my stash - they look delicious! No, you are definitely not alone. I talk to my plants, my dogs, my cats, you name it. I feel that it helps the vegetables along. I hadn't thought about asking them to slow down, but maybe that's not a bad idea!

Thanks for sharing yet another great recipe. We tried your teriyaki sauce last night - amazing (I just left out the corn syrup and added a bit more honey).
I talk to my 'cornichions' (pickles) and ask them please all be ready at the same time - makes pickling them easier (usually they don't co-operate and send out a pickle every few days).
Emma, I'm glad you liked the teriyaki sauce. It's good to know honey works as well in it too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
