Venison burgers with garden 'maters, homemade pickles and homemade buns.

This looks delicious, Sophie! I have a big, fat watermelon in the garden that is about ripe. I will make this!

I may have two vanilla pods tightly wrapped in saran and inside a jar that I've had for......more than several years..... And don't get me started on the basement freezer *shudder*

No, I never have. It's funny you should ask, I was researching that yesterday. I was thinking about making two pans of lasagna and freezing one. Over and over people said to not boil the noodles (the regular kind). I was too chicken to try it.......

Such cute doggies, Steve! And the chicken looks delicious too Lasagna night. Should have let it rest longer, but we were hungry!

Hey Stacey! Welcome!

It must be! Ohhhh Olathe sweet corn *swoon*. My husband loves a good ear of corn. Wish I could get my hands on some of those...... I only have six more peaches after this one

They are from Palisade, Colorado. We've always just called them Palisade peaches....but there might be another name for them. Truly, they are the best peaches I've ever had.

Norm, what a beautiful, luscious looking meal! I'm yearning for surf and turf now. Lightly breaded boneless chicken thighs in a creamy mushroom (not from a can) sauce over white rice, green beans from my m-i-law's garden and 'maters from ours.

Canned about 70 peaches yesterday which made 9 quarts and 2 quarts of the most lovely juice. I'm dying to get some champagne and mix the juice in (drool). This was my first time canning peaches. A bit more work than tomatoes, but just as rewarding

I don't think you've failed at all! You have many choices for him to choose from. Don't fret, it will all be GREAT! I promise

Faux Pas, I LOVE the sub contractor idea.....decor could be old tools....construction stuff etc.

Expensive...and maybe not the cuts you want. http://americanpridefoods.com/reindeer-meat.html And, holy crap SUPER expensive here http://www.exoticmeatmarkets.com/reindeermeat.html Can you describe the taste?

Turkey sandwiches again....you can never have too much of a good thing.....

Just wondering how your trip went, Chris. Did you eat anywhere noteworthy?

Ooops sorry! I thought my link was in the "this". http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Apricot-Salsa-with-Mint

Ours was who ever got the bay leaf had to do the dishes.....I guess that could be better or worse than kissing depending on the cook lol.

I am not a huge mint fan, but I've had it in a fruit salsa that was delicious. Something similar to this only mine used peaches.

I'll post the recipe this afternoon in the pickles cook-off thread Chef salad again. Twas really hot yesterday.

Ahhhhh, I see. Thanks, Kerry. So, when I'm squeezing the puffs for fun (because I'm like that lol) they are reaaaally old. I need to find them way younger. It must be the climate up there because I don't think they would get any where near as big without succumbing to the puff. I'd love to see a sliced pic if you can

Since no one else has answered you, I will tell you what I would do.....but trust me, I'm no baker lol. I would cook the filling a bit first to make sure it's thick enough and to get more of the rosemary or thyme flavor going.

I saw this picture this morning and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. That is the biggest dang mushroom I've ever seen! We have what I call puffballs here, but they aren't the same as yours. If you squeeze the top of ours, literal "puffs" of spores? spew out. What does your puffball taste like? More depth of flavor than a regular button mushroom?

I chickened out on the pie crust and made a crisp instead. These peaches are super good. I still want a pie, though..... Jam to be made in a bit

Ohhhh, Daniel, that cherry pie looks so good. Sour cherry pie I assume? I cannot quit taking pictures of tomatoes...you guys will just have to humor me lol. Cukes and onions with a bit of cider vinegar Mac and cheese again Bierocks with a few slices of my quick fridge pickles. I named them Quickles. Pretty sure I should patent that.....

What are the theme colors of your gas station? Is there seating inside?
