Hi Chris and Holly. So great you had a wonderful day and your parents were able to pick up their new car. Your plants are sure growing. Everything here is dying from lack of water. If you don't water your plants you lose them.
John and Kelly gave us a zucchini so I fixed it tonite for dinner. I rolled it in egg and milk, then Italian bread crumbs. Then I fried it. It was really good. I still have another one that I am going to make zucchini bread out of and also want to make Brooke's zucchini chips.
Tomorrow we are going to the farm to get some fresh produce. I want some tomatoes, cantaloupe,
corn, peaches and some new potatoes. I love this time of the year when all the fruit and veggies are fresh.
Next week we will be canning again. The potato farm has potatoes now by the 50 lb bag so next week we will canning those. Then I want to do a bushel of tomatoes and those will be ready next week as well.
Glad your salsa turned out good and hope you can make more soon. Love the orange tomatoes. I love the taste of them in a sandwich. We want to have blt sandwiches maybe Saturday. I love those for lunch.
Your families new car looks amazing. I am sure you will all get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I like the color.
Hope you and Holly have a great evening. Hugs. John. Debbie and Allie
Nice car!! I hope your parents enjoy it!!
Nice garden pics too, you do good work, lol
