Good morning Hamsters, Today is supposed to be rainy, and here all we have are high clouds/overcast. Rain is desperately needed here. Tried having kitty Purrscilla do a rain dance,that did not bring any rain but instead a dizzy cat after her performance. She was beautiful. Now she’s napping, probably well into the afternoon. Extra treats for her today for… Read more »

Good job Shanon
I did that closing with a Millennial and he had to Google it.
My #129, When daughter was in FFA they often had Pot-Luck suppers and the first time I brought fried yeller squash n onions. The ladies there had a fit and asked me what my recipe was? Recipe?! I don’t have a recipe, just slice em up and fry em in P-Nut oil. 😉
Buck seventy five, I’ll tell you about my Deviled Eggs with candied Jalapeños recipe in the morning but it’s nothing special, just made with candied Jalapeños instead of Bread N Butter pickles. Yeller Squash; The best way to cook it is to slice it up with a medium onion and fry it up in P-Nut oil in a cast iron… Read more »
RE: Yeller Squash I have one baby yeller squash coming along – slowly. For dinner tonight I sliced and sauteed one of my white squash. I much prefer the texture and flavor of the white scallop squashes, and I am pleased that I have one more in the frig and one on the vine. If I can keep the borers… Read more »
Oh, and Hubby gave me the green light to go on a pilgrimage tour with Fr. Felix in October. I worry about our tax returns (still trying to get the late ones filed) and finances, etc., but he said that it’s a chance I may never have again and I should go for it. The price is pretty good –… Read more »
I just came in from the garden. Tied up some sagging plants and killed some juvenile leaf footed bugs that got away from me the other day. The air feels different out there; maybe we will get some rain. I separated the two water bowls. Junior likes to hang out for long periods of time by the water, and it… Read more »

Hey GramPaw, What’s fer supper?
Super Dave your dinners always look so good!
Any chance you can share how you make your Deviled Eggs with candied Jalapeños.
We have a Lady in our Sunday School class that makes the best Deviled Eggs and I always hurt myself when she brings them.
Ate the last of the yeller skwash tonight. Dang that stuff is good. Looks like it’s back to green beans and broccoli for a while now.

I raked up 2 big bags of magnolia tree leaves, so I’d have something I could point to for accomplishment today. Of course, I also did all that lawn watering yesterday, and in fact the grass does look happier today. Now it needs to be mowed (sad face).

When I arrived here, I immediately started having a sinus irritation that has now turned into an infection separate from the Covid. I’m on an antibiotic and cough suppressant. With the Covid fatigue and inability to sleep restfully, I feel pretty lousy. No fever though. I blame the sinus irritation on the Sahara dust.

She did a duet with Tom Jones once and the expression on his face was like I can’t keep up.
I just had whatever flavor is going around. It was worse than a cold, but nowhere close to the flu. First day was cough & scratchy throat. Second & third days were the worst.

As long as you don’t spit it out afterwards, because. . . . . . . that would be alcohol abuse.
Two words for scratchy throat with dry cough:
Chloroseptic spray (also lozenges)
Numbs the back of your throat so you can avoid starting to cough better. Available in just about any grocery store & pharmacy.
Gargling bourbon works too.
I don’t even want to talk about it LOL
