I had a productive day in the kitchen. I've been picking peppers over the last couple days. Yesterday, the winds were so strong that it snapped off one of the yellow pepper plants that was loaded with fruit so we threw them in the pile. Now, we had toom any to eat fresh. So with my MIL and Madison's help, we chopped up the green, yellow and lilac peppers. I bagged them in 1 cup measurements and froze them.
After that, I headed out to pick the jalapeno peppers and managed to convince my MIL to take them all as I have 6 times as many growing yet. She was delighted. Madison and her chopped them up so they would fit into her freezer until they got home.
While the girls did the peppers, I raided the corn patch and found a clothes basket full of sweet corn. I don't know how its even growing out there in the weed patch and with my neglect. We roasted a few ears on the grill for lunch and the rest will be made into cream style corn tomorrow.
I noticed several spaghetti squash growing in my weed corn patch. I hope they taste yummy. They are the only squash that grew for me this year. I suppose I should look for spaghetti squash recipes. This is a new veggie for me.
Madison's 4H records were turned in today. We had a nice chat with Brooke about the netherland dwarf rabbit breed. Madison definitely wants one. I also got a call about loinheads... a gal I know wants to sell her herd to us. I'm not sure we can handle that amount of rabbits so we need to look and think about where Madison wants to go with showing these critters.
Well, school starts tomorrow so I best get a few things in order before bed.
Goodnight!
