I haven't been taking any pictures but I still order Misfits every week. No complaints. Even in this heat my cold pack stuff is still cold enough that it's all ok. Anyway, last week they offered Hatch chiles. I was skeptical but I ordered. They are beautiful! The label says they are really from NM. I roasted them last night so I'll peel them today and put some in the freezer.

No question. You have to eat BLT's with homegrown tomatoes over everything else at all times This summer doesn't seem to be slowing down. I can't remember the last time I was able to take a nap. I miss my naps lol. Roasted chicken quarters. The rest is all from our garden. I swear I could eat that corn every day and not get tired of it. Homemade key lime pie for dessert Venison meatloaf with beans from the garden Fried fish--used crushed up pork rinds Still being overrun with squash. They may soon invade the other rooms of the house and completely take over. So zoodles which used up one whole squash 🙄 Deli meat sandwiches. I think I canned that day and needed something easy. Zucchini pizza boats Big salad night More roasted chicken Last night was Canadian bacon/sausage pizza using the bacon that Ronnie cured and made. Super good. Berries and cream for dessert

What a thoughtful and kind thing to do!

I loved every second of this! Thank you!!

Really enjoying this as always!

I'm impressed. When I'm alone I stand in front of the fridge and eat a piece of cheese.

OMG IM DYING LAUGHING!!!! SOOOOO true

I haven't found anything that wowed me except an ice maker that makes ice like Sonic--nugget shaped, my favorite. It's on sale for like $450 down from $600 something. Still couldn't justify buying it.....I don't have room anyway unless I put it by my bed like @JoNorvelleWalkerlol.

Me three

It's soooo much hotter here. Actually I didn't get my potatoes from Burpee as soon as I should have. They ship when THEY think it's time to plant. It's about 2-3 weeks too late IMO. I used to plant right around St. Pat's Day. I didn't get my order until the end of March and really, this year, I would have planted the first week of March. Russets and Yukon Gold

You're so sweet! But I'm really not. I ran across someone else's pic of a charc. board and googled how to make the roses like they had done. Super easy. If I can do it anyone can lol.

Those peppers are beautiful @FauxPas! Ours is really producing right now. Ronnie has a weird fixation on making sure every single squash goes to a good home sigh. Usually one or two of our plants dies from squash bugs but not this year. I can't tell you how many squash I've chucked into the field corn after he goes to bed 🤣. I managed to squeeze in canning a batch of tomatoes a couple days ago (our hunter friend was here so it was really busy). I need to can again today. This was this mornings haul. Dug the last of the potatoes and pulled the last onions. Sweet corn is ready but I just haven't had time to deal with it yet.

ME TOO I don't think we've ever had such a busy summer. I'm hoping these next few weeks will be very smooth and calm. I need a break lol. I can't remember what kind of fish this was--either bass or catfish Zoodles with venison meatballs SV'd turkey loin 4th of July was fried chicken, potato salad and cherry galette BLT's Big salad night Our hunter friend came to stay with us on Wednesday. He's worked his butt off--along with Ronnie-getting a lot of big projects done around here. So, a small board of appetizers the first night For dinner I made stuffed zucchini with some pasta--I used up a bunch of tomatoes and made a huge pot of spaghetti sauce Another board the next night And big salad night for dinner Venison cheese burger pizza the next night with broccoli salad Last night I SV'd some ribeyes --then the guys fired up the grill and grilled some zucchini and a big sweet onion and then seared the steaks. Really good. Deviled eggs and the first garden okra fried up. Chipped beef cheese ball to start with Our friend goes to the airport in a bit. Maybe I can sneak a nap???

I always get a rotisserie chicken if I'm at Dillons or Sam's. SO handy. I got one on Monday from Sam's actually. That night I just reheated it in the CSO. Sometime this week I'll make quesadillas or taco salads with the rest.

I've never thought about using peanut butter chips! Great idea!

I've never tried corn but I don't see why it wouldn't! I'd maybe brush a bit of oil on ....but you might not even need to do that.

I couldn't take the heat...or the jet lag. But I'd love your wife's amazing knowledge about wine. And yours about the food. Again, I need to stay on the air conditioned plane lol.

Ok. You had me at the wine commentary. I suppose I'd be ready to use a bathroom other than the airplane one anyway. 🤣

I'm Doing It My Way So I don't have mess around with any pesky substitutions or requests. 😬

I'm thinking about taking the same flight and just staying on the plane. No need to see land. Just eat the airplane food.

Just a little reminder that quesadilla type things work well --if you don't mind cleaning up some cheese off the maker that is lol. It gets the tortillas nice and crisp without having to use oil and especially without having to flip them over.

Thanks for this, Kim. It looks delicious! I've made a note in my SV book.

I always read this thread but rarely post because 99% of the time my breakfasts are leftovers from the night before....or a cracker and a piece of cheese lol. But, this is my favorite breakfast when the garden tomatoes get good:

I already had enough cucumbers to start a crock of pickles a few days ago. I will have enough to start a second one in a day or two. I need an additional fridge in the garage sigh lol.

I haven't been very creative yet this year. Been using the mandolin and salting the strips and squeezing fresh lemon over. Did a huge grated up ziplock so I could make fritters--which we might be sick of by now lol. And this sour cream zucchini bread I've given tons away already. It's either feast or famine with us lol.
