I apologize if you've had trouble getting on my blog....lots of people had trouble with the page locking up. When I checked it, I had the same problem! Hopefully that's fixed now! So....I finally started getting stuff out of my garden! Saturday night we had fried squash, cucumbers and a small salad from our garden. We had squash last night and tonight too. I guess its time to start dragging the squash recipes out! I guess I can make--fried squash, grilled squash, squash casserole, baked squash...any ideas? Squash relish? This picture was just made about a week ago and I can't believe how much everything has grown! I'll have to take another picture so you can see....I got up first thing this morning to hoe and it was still SO HOT. I may have to start getting up when then sun comes up to work out there. ha!
This is how my yellow squash looked--now it has about taken up both the walking spaces and we have to pick the squash off every day. I'll have to start giving it away! CJ the new kitty always used to hang out with us in the garden. He disappeared for about a week....then he came back the last couple of days just to eat. Today I walked around the side of the house to the porch and he was there eating....he took off when he saw me. I don't know why he was so scared--may take a few days to get him to let me pet him again. I'm sure he's been off "tom cattin" all this time!
The other night I went into the living room and saw this through my window. There is a window a/c unit there and the outside cats always jump on it, then Strawberry scratches and scratches and scratches on the window until I think I'll go insane. So I put this box on top of the a/c to keep the outside cats off the top of it. But Elvis just decided to crawl inside the box!
My mom used to make squash pies with the round white scalloped ones. Everybody loved them. If you have zucchini you can substitute it for the meat in your lasagna and you will not miss it. Just slice them up in thin slices and layer them in. Really good!
ReplyDeleteWeird weather across the country. We've been cooler than some of the northern states but it's still too hot. I have to cut the grass in the late afternoons around 6.
Denise, I always enjoy seeing the great pictures of your kitties. zoe
Hey, Zoe--I only have yellow squash....wonder if I can make a pie out of that? The zucchini sounds good in the lasagne too but I didn't grow any. I will next year!!
