Hello once again to all my faithful readers! Hope you are keeping cool on these hot, summer days. The temperature has already been in the upper 90's. When out in the heat be sure to drink plenty of water.
Thanks to my wonderful friends who gave me fresh snap beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and sweet peppers. I surely have been enjoying them. My first tomato sandwich was heavenly. Bryan has had some of the fresh vegetables for his lunch. I was excited again on Monday night when Bryan brought in 3 bags of yellow squash, zucchini squash and sweet peppers. They had just been picked that day. I've also had sweet peppers. They had just been picked that day. I've also had sweet corn that came from the grocery store. A plate of fresh veggies is some good eating and makes you smack your lips enjoying every single bite. Let me tell you, I was in hogs-heaven! Ha! Ha!
Congratulations to MHS students Dorci Lourigan and Megan Fountain. Dorci was chosen High School student of the year and Meggan was Jr. High School student of the year. We are very proud of you.
Guess what? I have a band new friend who enjoys recipes and cooking with me. A few days ago a message was left on my phone from a person I do not know. When I returned her call in our conversation someone had given her some Zucchini squash and she wanted to make Zucchini bread. Just so happened I have made Zucchini bread many times so I gave her the recipe. She got my phone number from my column and enjoyed seeing the recipes I had this month. Stacy, you made my day talking to you. Keep on reading our weekly paper, The Era-Leader.
