Garden Work & Rewards
We both worked ourselves silly in the garden but it looks damn good if I do say so myself! We Rock!
********************************************************************************
We are getting a bit of everything out of the garden now. While staking up the tomatoes again I found quite a few ripe tomatoes some are edible while others I threw out.
No peppers yet but did pick our first okra today. Broccoli is still coming on so is the cabbage. No brussel sprouts yet truthfully, not sure we are gonna get any.
Something has ate one of my rhubarb plants so now down to two. The blackberry plants I planted are growing well. Lost a raspberry plant, but the grapes is fabulous to have to tie one up today.
Canned one quart of carrots & beets yesterday which was all we had in the garden, think I will plant more shortly for fall.
Beans are still coming will can them up tomorrow hoping for a full canner.
*********************************************************************************
We had baked squash, fried onion rings, okra, & potatoes for supper along with jalapeno poppers.
Recipe for Poppers:
24 jalapenos , cleaned out and ready to fill
1 small tub of cream cheese
24- 1/2 slices of bacon
take a teaspoon and put a dab of cream cheese in jalapeno(never rub your eyes when handling these),
place long ways on your 1/2 slice of bacon and fold over end to meet in the middle (look at pics). We use a fish rack for putting on grill but a pan will work too. Cook over direct heat until the bacon is cooked and the peppers are soft. Enjoy!
********************************************************************************
Batter for the fried stuff is so easy a novice could make it
For every cup of flour add one egg and then add water until it is the consistancy of waffle/pancake batter or gravy or until is runs slowly off your whisk.
Dunk your items and fry away!!

Peanut has the right idea so I am off to rest my weary self......... Night All!
