If this rain does not go away and stay gone, I won’t even be able to prepare cheese and crackers, it does me in.

Maybe you need a little sliced tomato on that cheese. But, since you get the delivered food from Walton does that mean you only get fresh things once a month when Scott comes?

I am still wanting to try two things you posted last week. One is a cereal where you sprout the wheat berries for 2 days then "cook" it in a thermos of boiling water. Sounds yummy.

The other was a staple food made from beans, wheat and 2 other grains all ground and cooked in a crock pot and then you fried it. Well, I did print those instructions out so I'm not totally flying by the seat of my pants, just haven't done these things yet.

However, I did plant almost 100 root tips from scallions I found in my compost today. Maybe I'll get lots of onions from them.

I had to laugh out loud at that one.

Yes, I get fresh food once a month, when Scott goes shopping.

This month, he forgot the shopping list, so didn’t get half of it, said it was in the car.

Without him, I would have no fresh food, I lived a year without it and got only the bulk /and dried from Walton Feed.com, as they do not have fresh.

They were good to me and shipped to me at once, even large orders, as they knew it was not for storage, or only partly.

That is why I do not even consider a different company, I checked prices etc, before my first order and you may find something on sale elsewhere, but over all for the stuff I use from them, I will save in the end by staying with Walton.

Guess my grapes will have to serve as tomatoes this time.

I had to quit driving 5 or 6 years ago, I kept passing out and did not know why.

I posted another of the grain type dishes last night, for sausage made from grains, as I think we would be wise to know how to fix it and it should be good, in the south we ate fried cornmeal mush, hominey grits could be fried and even leftover oatmeal.

A little onion and an egg and you have left over mashed potato patties or bean patties to fry in bacon drippings and I like those.
