Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I used to date a guy who had 4 Sicilian grandparents. He was a really good cook. He told me his grandparents would forage for greens in upper New York State.
In lieu of foraging he would buy rapini (broccoli rabe) and cook it with dinner.
OMG, about the mushrooms. I go wild mushroom picking whenever I can. My first husband was Polish and they're all about the mushrooms. I'm pretty much an expert on what can be eaten and what can't. There is nothing so delicious as wild mushrooms. So different than anything farm-grown.
I think that people around the world followed that trial Margaret, I know that I did.
(if you don't seem me any more I guess you'll all know why lol)
-- Yes, young puffball mushrooms look strikingly similar to several toxic and even deadly species of fungi. This external similarity makes them one of the most dangerous groups for novice foragers who forget to inspect the interior. Slicing the specimen cleanly in half from top to bottom is the single most important rule to separate an edible puffball from its toxic look-alikes.--
I'd pass on eating them, just because I'm not that brave. lol But if you do cook and eat them, maybe give a friend a heads-up to check on you within x-amount of time, just in case. (I'm joking... because if you need to do that, then you shouldn't eat them.) :)
With every grocery order, I buy one white peach, and one white nectarine.
We share.
Place slices on breakfast plate, or for a snack in the afternoon.
When I went to the fruitstand today,they had white peaches.
I ended up buying $10.00 of them,theyr'e so tasty.
Your corn and watermelon prices are better than our's here.Lucky~
New potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables,especially with creamed peas.
Yeah,this is a great time of the year for eating good.Too bad it's not year round~
Today I picked up 4 cobs/$1 for my supper plus a huge watermelon for only $3.50 (unfortunately it was imported but sometimes the price difference makes it hard to stick to the boycott). I plan on buying some lovely local Vineland peaches next week and maybe local new potatoes too.
Iv'e been to the fruitstand 3 times ,so far.I love to put sugar over sliced peaches and I made a peach cobbler that came out pretty good.
The corn is tri colored....and sweet.
That's the best part of summer....all the fesh fruit and vegetables~
korky welcome. Your plants are thriving! When I had a garden I loved donations. If you are interested there is a garden thread.
cw- nothing like really fresh fruit and veg
Pam, I’m sure you’re enjoying that grandson.
Pan fried salmon for supper and my annual overdose of ice cream. I won’t buy any more till next year now.
No lettuce, no celery, we're out.
It is way too hot to go out shopping.
Hamburger for supper tonight. Well, actually half a cooked beef patty in a folded slice of bread with mustard, I didn't have a bun. I'll have the other half later with a small green salad. 🥗
As hot as it is,we certainly don't want any soup.
a popcicle sounds alot better.
