Cucumbers ~ Yellow Squash ~ Cleaning

The cucumbers are starting to roll in this year.  Last year we didn't get many.


I pulled out my old recipes and whipped up a Fresh Dill and Cucumber Salad.  Hubby and I love it.  I have fresh dill that grows back in the flower bed every year thankfully.


The yellow straight neck squash is not rolling in.  We took advantage of what we currently had.  Many of the plants are getting mold from our current weather.

We made yellow squash patties.  Hubby shredded all the squash, and even cooked them for me.  There is no secret to our year after year recipe.  It's from allrecipes.  We love them!  Top them with sour cream.  Hubby loves his with some chopped jalapeno peppers in his.  We use organic flour and organic corn meal in ours.

Hubby helped do yard work until the mower belt quit on him (again).  He weed whipped, pulled weeds from the garden, helped me pick vegetables from the garden, helped with dinner, and he started out the morning with helping me deep clean in our bedroom (heavy lifting and moving of furniture to clean carpet, walls, wall trim etc.).  All on a Sunday.  It was still pretty wet, so most of the weeding remains, but he was a big help.  We ended the evening by binge watching netflix, and eating dinner in bed. It was too hot to be on the porch anyway.

It rained while we were eating dinner, so it's pretty wet again today.  No worries.  The Good Lord provided me a table full of vegetables to work with today.  Which reminds me.  I need to go and at least check on my kale and collards before the kitchen is in full swing today.

I know I will need a good amount of morning coffee this week.  How will your week be?   I guess for me, it also depends on weather.

I love cucumbers and dill. Unfortunately, Bro Tom doesn't like dill and he's allergic to cucumbers, so I substitute with zucchini and leave the dill out, and he'll eat it.

A long time ago I had a recipe for yellow squash fritters. I suppose you could also use shredded zucchini too. A recipe similar to mine is here: http://www.food.com/recipe/squash-fritters-460887
The difference is I use self-rising flour (for lift) and sharp cheddar cheese (for that extra cheese flavor), and fry it up in butter rather than oil. Yum!!! I've also heard you can bake these, but I've never tried that.
God bless.

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 . . .
