" It's All About The Babies" And....

Poor little Sadie Boo is miserable.........
She has two more weeks to go, give or take a day....
The Vet says; 4 or 5 pups more than likely!
That's Ok Sadie, this will be your one and only time!!








Last weekend....it was all about these two babies.....
They'll be heading back to Germany tomorrow..ahwwwww!

The AND part.....the first ripe tomatoes.... :)

And...that first tomato sandwich.. :D

I need to make some of Vicki Lane's homemade mayo!!

This weekend...it's all about these babies.........

How Sweet it is.....or will be?

And......this baby and siblings

This baby eggplant is so cute!

A row of Okra...................

With blooms.....................means

Good eating soon!

And.....my Hubby, the Blackberry Prince....

picked these in one little spot this morning!

He's back out there now with a bigger bucket! :D

This is his thorn less Blackberries planted two years ago!

Oh my goodness! Baby blackberries for the first time!

In order to put baby containers like this in the freezer

full of roasted bell peppers for recipe use later.....

( I got this picture in the wrong order)

It starts like this...............

I dealt with veggies all day yesterday!

Rub clean, dry peppers with oil. Do not use olive oil or butter!

Place them under broiler or on grill and keep watch so they don't burn!

Turn to get all sides roasted, then put in glass bowl and cover......

The steam loosens the skins fast!

The tops, seeds and skin come right off............discard.

Place in bags or containers and put in freezer......

I love these on Pizza because they are soft....

Just call me " Squash Queen"!

I have given it away till every one's first words to me are;

" Don't need no squash, zucchini either"

so now I'm dealing with the excess.......

it starts with my wonderful food processor.

Slice it up, change blades and grate it.

It should look like this........I add a tablespoon of sugar.

This is Zucchini but I do Yellow this way also....

Spoon into bags..............

Label bags. Put in freezer. I did these yesterday.

The Yellow will be used in quiche and casseroles and soup.

The Zuchinni, in bread and Crabless/Crab Cakes!

They're Yummy!

This was my Pepper Sauce stash up till yesterday..

Then I dealt with these. The jar of sliced on the left, went in the freezer.

The others got canned...............added to my stash!

Growing some of your own food is hard work but so fun

and rewarding. Come Winter that freezer stuff will be devine!

We must have a thousand tomatoes out there about to come ripe!

I'll probably be red from head to toe before that's jobs over but come

winter.........oh my!

Last night Hubby did supper on the grill.....................

Organic Beef T-bones and Veggies .........

Homemade bread........

All from Swiftwater Farm............!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE !!
