- Took two bushels of assorted produce out of the garden tonight.
- Going to dry tomatoes for the first time tonight. Guess we’ll see how that turned out in the morning.
- The peppers go in next. It’s going to smell wonderful in the house for the next day or so.
- I missed an entire batch of pickling cucumbers. Now they’re all too long and too wide to pickle. I’m going to be giving away a lot of these.
- Girlie Bear’s birthday party is next Sunday. I’ve been informed that it’s going from about 20 people to about 60. Oh, and no beer. Pray for me.
- Moonshine is in the dog house right now for filching a piece of homemade banana bread from Boo. He seems to feel repentant, seeing as how he’s drooping his head and giving everyone the soulful eyes routine. I’ll let it go, this time.
- PGA parking has encroached into my neighborhood. One house down on our cross street had a yard full of cars this afternoon. I’m seeding our front yard with caltrops.
- I was getting antsy and irritated with Irish Woman’s doctor when he took over half an hour to answer a page to call me today, but then he told me that he was in an operating room at the time. For once, I agree that something has priority over me and mine.
- Irish Woman had never heard of furries,cosplay, and other related things until today. She thought I was joking until I looked it up on-line and showed her. She was flabbergasted.
- Also, she has pronounced Japanese men as having a large contingent of perverts.
- I almost witnessed a public bull-whipping today when a woman at the grocery store was in the “20 items” line with a cart full of stuff.
- She at least had the wherewithal to not argue with the young lady who rang her up that she could not use her EBT card to pay for beer.

/ August 9, 2014Have you considered making some relish with those cucumbers? http://southernfood.about.com/od/picklesrelishes/r/r90623b.htm
Always nice to have some around and it doesn’t matter that they’re big.

/ August 10, 2014My grandma used to turn big cucumbers into mock apple rings to go with pinto beans. Really, really tasty, and she’d use ’em in pies, occasionally.
