It sure has been hot here!
I remember as a kid, we just loved to hear that guy peddling the bicycle with a refrigerated case on the front yelling, “Popsicle Man.” I’d run inside and ask mom for a few cents for my favorite treat. By the time I got back to the street, the popsicle [...]

Putting Up Our Harvest
Posted in Ramblings, Recipes, gardening, preserving, tomatoes on Jul 17th, 2010
I’ve been busy drying tomatoes and putting up our blackberries and blueberries. Before I write more about that, Kristina had asked what the tomatoes look like when they are dried. I’ve never looked at them side by side, and thought it would be neat to see how they compare.

Some might object to [...]

#38 I purchased last year, but it didn’t have a name and only marked that [...]

The recipe comes from one of my old cookbooks. This cobbler is simple and [...]
Now that the season will soon be upon us I need to move some blackberries out of that prime real estate known as the freezer. Last year I found a way to use up some of those blackberries by making Blackberry Syrup which we enjoyed all summer long. I’m writing about this now since the [...]
