What Did You Have For Dinner From Your Garden Last Night?
Comments (54)Dale I would never be able to describe the exact location of where these morels were found. They were on private property, and I was invited by the owner, or I never would have found it by myself. Now, since she has moved, I'd probably have to trespass or get the new owner's permission. Anyways, you should be happy to know they are to be found in many locations in Oklahoma. Keep tabs on this link, and you should be able to zero in on a good location. I think there's another morel link for Oklahoma as well as this one online. You won't be disappointed if you luck onto a good morel spot. As you will see in the pics in this link, even the homeies love them, lol! Just wait til about April and about four days after a rain. Look for a moist woodland, where some deer and cows have roamed, and there are many such places in Oklahoma. I LOVE morels just about any way you can prepare them. And especially morel soup, or perhaps cut up in small pieces for tempura. A real delicacy. I've been thinking of starting my own little shitake patch. You can buy the spores of those online and perhaps other varieties as well. Dawn I can relate to the harvesting, canning and preserving fatigue. Getting kind of tired of it myself, so when dinner time rolls around and it's just me, it's catch as catch can from the garden. I really do hate to see the summer crops dwindling. Okra not bearing well. The cucumbers that store boughts will NEVER be able to rival are just about kaput. I still have tons of BIG tomatos that haven't ripened yet. Since it's been dry, with no recent rain, I've been allowing them to store up all that deliciousness and not get soggy or insipidly flavorless, so they have been amazing! Especially enjoying the Indian Stipes, which were not new to you, but certainly a delightful first for me. I'm hoping I don't get stuck with having to can jars of pickled tomatos or green tomato relish. I like it, but there's only so much of it I can eat. Today's menu was simply one of my baked buttercup squash, (just the right size for me), with butter and brown sugar, and cooked to pieces pole beans. Since I don't have a family to cook for, sometimes I kind of 'batch' and my folks used to call it. Nice in a way, since I can eat weird stuff that I like, when I like and not have to worry about meal planning per se.

Comments (7)I have been busy all day in the kitchen it seems. I fixed supper for the 7 of us. Baked pasta, corn on the cob, green beans, coleslaw, Jello and strawberry cake. Alyssa loves green beans and corn on the cob. She didn't know what to think of the Jello at first. Sue...See MoreWhat did you have for dinner SATURDAY
Comments (19)We had a teeny cute-as-a-button gas barbecue. I can cook anything on the stove but can't bbq worth a crap. Hubby tends to over-cook things on it as well. We didn't get the use out of it that we could, (going up and down 3 flights of stairs etc). I sold it on Kijiji last week. We've been looking for an indoor grill and reversible griddle, but the styles have now changed. They're all the George Foreman style, which I don't want. On a whim, I posted a request on Freecycle and lo and behold, someone had one!! They downsized and gave me theirs. In mint, new condition. So we used it last nite for the first time and we love it! We have an outlet out on the balcony, and sat out there with the grill. Grilled chicken breasts, and I pre-cooked sliced potatoes in the microwave and finished them on the grill. Nice seasonings and grill marks. We finished the carrot and pineapple slaw. It was delicious and we're happy,happy.

Comments (10)Nita, I love reading about your trips. Wish I had a milk shake about now. Glenda, I've never had Captain D's. I think we have one here but we don't venture into town much. Plenty of places on this side of the interstate to eat. Shirley, I put sour cream, green onion (just a little), and grated Cheddar in the potatoes, put them on a cookie sheet and froze them. When they were frozen, I sealed two each in bags for future meals. I forgot to add melted butter and salt, but no big deal. I put them in the oven frozen at 350 and usually bake while I have chicken or something baking. Maybe 35-40 minutes. Depending on how much is in the oven. Every once in a while a steak tastes so good! Your dinner is mouth-watering, Susanjf. Glad you have enough for later. I know what you mean, Nanny. When we go on vacation, I'm always ready to get back into the kitchen. It would be nice to have someone to do it 3 or 4 days a week. Maybe you could work out a schedule so you could cook for them some. I loved my mother's cooking! Jasdip, I'm sorry you were sad, but sure understand. Hope you had some good time, too. Ravencajun, your DH is a lucky man! Great food and toys--woohoo! Georgysmom, it sounds like a nice, relaxing day. I should make your soup. It's light enough to be good in the summer--plus it's full of vegetables!!...See Moreamylou321
