I don't even know what a frappe is. I am feeling lucky that I don't lol.

Are they though? Friends, I mean? 😜🤣

I've never been to or had one.

You're still nicer than I would be! What kind of sausage is that? Looks good!

It's hot and humid as it is everywhere it seems like. But, it's July in Kansas. As usual, I'm trying to use up tons of squash--two plants up and died in the last few days.....I'm thinking Ronnie poisoned them (kidding) so we won't be getting as many as we were. Anyway, dinner: I made these several years ago and then forgot about them. You put jalapeño poppers inside of your burger then grill. I bought TGI Friday's brand and cooked them from frozen for 7 mins at 400F to give them a head start. Then I formed venison burger patties around them and Ronnie grilled. Fun and good. When our garden jalapeños get bigger I'm going to make my own. Also did some grilled squash. I always forget how good that is. Roasted chicken with the first beans from the garden and our potatoes too. Last night was the rest of the lasagna with squash rollups and salad

Could you share the recipe please . I see carrots and tomatoes.

We need a shock face emoji. OMG! I'm so sorry! Domestic turkeys?

I think we need to change our wording around here regarding enabling to influencer 🙃

That much cheese would do it.

They were talking about this on the news the other day. Looks utterly disgusting.

I didn't. I love it, Ronnie does not.

At first glance I thought the soybeans were corn. I was frantically googling flights so I could get you the help you needed. First BLT's of the summer. I should have made bread but I didn't get to it. Next time. Another first of the season--our okra. I grew a different variety and I like it. Pods seem more tender. Fried crappie to go with. Ronnie is having some dental issues so I've been trying to make softish foods. Stuffed mushrooms and peppers with cajun chicken penne Last night was lasagna and squash carpaccio

It's me again. Don't know what happened since 2020--I definitely had squash in 2021 and 2022. AND I definitely have it now. We planted 3-4 Butterstick plants and 3-4 zucchini. Yes, it's a lot but some years several plants die due to the dreaded squash bug. Hasn't happened yet so we are drowning in them lol. Everyone else around here must be too because we can't give them away. So, I've started picking them when they are tiny tiny and that is helping. It's been really hot and humid but if and when we get a break I'm going to make some breads out of some of the bigger ones. We have AC but I don't want to heat the kitchen up. As always I'm on the search for new ideas. I had forgotten about the squash carpaccio so that's going on the menu when my pine nuts get here.

Beautiful packaging.

SO INTERESTING!!!! I didn't know nutmeg is a fruit, either. Is the flesh any good to eat? You are a real trooper to have been that sick and still carry on!

Love your blogs! I'm so sorry you got sick AGAIN. And you're so very careful. Every single thing you've shown has me wishing for it right now. I just came in from the garden so that lime juice looks especially refreshing.

It's been such a hectic time. Ronnie went out of town fishing for a few days. I had some serious chores that I've been putting off for literally years so while he was gone I worked my ass off. I wasn't very hungry so I didn't cook much. Steak quesadillas the night before he left Thursday night I didn't eat anything.....wine was my meal lol. Friday I was a bit hungry. Had grand plans to make linguini with clam sauce ( canned clams ). It's an easy dish but by 8 pm I had petered out and didn't have the energy. So, I opened a jar of store bought pesto and made a little caprese salad. Basil and tomatoes from the garden. For lunch on Saturday I decided to try some ramen noodles I bought from Misfits called Spicy AF. O M G they were so hot. They definitely live up to their name. I couldn't finish them and ended up drinking about a half a gallon of milk. Yesterday Ronnie got home and wanted venison meatloaf. So that, with squash, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and tomatoes Also made some assorted squash pickles from Vivian Howard. Good stuff.

Looks delicious! So good to see you again!

Great looking pizzas. I love the eggplant one especially. I remember when I watched that movie for the first time. On VHS tape. Still one of my favorites.

I don't have a link to her post, either, but I copied and saved exactly what @Mmmpomps said: These are roasted spuds my Aunt in England showed me how to make: Preheat oven to 425 to 450.Peel whole potatoes, boil in salted water 4 to7 minutes until the outside is softened to about 1 cm in. Drain in the pot and with lid on shake the bejeebus out of the spuds to rough them up. Use a heavy pan..cast iron is great and pour VEGETABLE OIL *this is the secret to the crispiness* You can preheat the oil in the oven if you want. Then toss spuds in and coat them in the oil and salt aggressively. Cook 30 to 45 minutes until crispy brown, turning once. My potato salad is pretty basic--I do the potatoes and eggs in the IP: add a 1 1/2 cups of water to the liner. Place basket (or whatever you use) in the hold the peeled, diced potatoes and eggs. High pressure for 4 minutes quick release and open the lid. Put eggs in cold water. Peel eggs--sometimes I leave them in slices on top, sometimes I stir them in. Dump potatoes into a bowl. Add diced onion, celery and pickle. Salt, pepper. Like @Norm Matthewssometimes I add some dry ranch dressing mix. Yellow mustard and Hellman's or homemade mayo.

Yes so many possibilities. Definitely going to caramelize some and freeze them in my rubber ice cube trays. That really comes in handy. I think maybe the end of next week I might try making a blooming onion (one of those fried things you can get at a restaurant) just for fun.

We have a new winner

Just make vanilla pudding--I actually made it from scratch this time. Nilla wafers on the bottom of the pan. Top those with one layer of banana slices. Then cover with pudding. Repeat. Then a layer of the Nilla wafers on top. Dab the meringue on top. Bake at 325 until the meringue gets brownish and done.

Sunday night was steaks on the grill--Ronnie did them perfectly and I missed getting a picture. Bad Shelby. Sides were @Mmmpompspotatoes @Jaymes' squash stuffed mushrooms and jalapenos Monday was spaghetti night--meatballs and Italian sausages Yesterday Ronnie smoked a chicken for the 4th Garden stuff Potato salad Banana pudding for dessert. Hadn't made that in a long time.

Finally. I've been searching for something that does this for years.
