Good morning all. Boy, it was 65 today but very humid. Had a little rain off and on all day then a downpour around 9pm.  Needless to say the lawn didn't get mowed LOL. Am hoping to work in the garden at the folks while I'm in town Saturday. I'll also have to finish up cleaning church. Sunday will be my day of rest and catch up on reading my magazines and a couple chapters in a book I started way back when LOL. Maybe I'll treat myself to renting a DVD too. Hmmmmm. The first clear day I'll have to do laundry so I can hang it out to dry. They are forecasting rain off and on thru next Thursday so it'll be a 50/50 shot.

I made mac n cheese and tossed some frozen veggies and diced chicken in the last couple minutes of cooking the noodles. In the sauce I stirred in some Mrs. Dash Garlic for kick. It was pretty good. I'll bake the leftovers for dinner today in a small crock. That'll taste good. I like the "crust" that forms. I've also some watermellon I need to eat up. Mmmm, sounds like a good dinner to me.

In a couple weeks the strawberry farm will be open. I can't wait!! I'm getting low on what I canned up last year (I ground some up and heated them up with some fresh apple juice and made an awsome sauce) and the dehydrated ones are almost gone. I'll have to dehydrate a couple flats this year along with a few extra half pints of sauce. I found the sauce was better than slices. I used it for short cake, over my ice cream, pancakes and waffles, just open a jar and have it for desert like that, it's really good over SF Vanilla or SF cheesecake pudding, over angle food cake, even over hot cerial. I'm still pretty good on jam so I'm thinking I'll run some thru the juicer, can up the juice and either freeze or can the mush for making jam later when the weather cools. The juice is awsome mixed with seltzer water or in a smoothie.

Well, better go do some chores. Coffee later - Love and Fuzzies to all!!
