July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
What is your go-to dish to bring to a potluck? Does your family have any traditional recipes? (In Hawaii, these appetizers are called “pupus”  Read more at:{link: https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/food} POT LUCK I have not been to a pot luck for a long time. The last time I went to any gathering it was to a pig roast a neighbor gave. My daughter and I whipped up a large pan of goulash by a special recipe out of a Mexican cook book? It turned out pretty yummy. There were a lot of people there and the pan was empty when we took it home. I haven't seen that recipe for a long time I wonder if I still have it? When we were still attending church as a family, I took different foods. Sometimes cakes or other types of casserole dishes. Thanksgiving when my children were young was always at K's mother's house. I found a recipe for green beans made with mushrooms. That dish was a hit. I'm surprised how much better green beans taste if they are cooked with equal parts of mushrooms. Fresh green beans sliced into a fry pan with a pat of butter and some olive oil, add equal amounts of mushrooms and fry until green beans are slightly softer. (mushrooms are good for cholesterol) How about a bowl of cooked brown rice- spread with fresh crushed tomatoes and feta cheese chunks. Yummy! Food in any amount should be inspirational. A doctor once told me the meat and potatoes staple this country was fed as children is not a good diet. One of the things I always looked forward to in the summer was my own fresh grown lettuce from the garden. What do you think of fewer calories and more taste? I don't like to cook. I do like to eat. When I was young I did not like to eat. That was better. walk it off. Walk it off. Walk It off. Walk It Off. WALK IT OFF. |
