That looks pretty effective!
Mr. Sg had three brothers, and he cooks an amazing amount of food. I, OTOH, cook enough for a skinny little old lady and then triple it because I am no longer a SLOL. It is never enough but we don’t get tired of eating it. P.S. I had hoped that we could preserve your zucchini soup, but Mr. Sg has assured me that all of the literature forbids canning zucchini. Drat!
Hi, ff! I tried making zucchini chutney today. If it turns out well, I’ll let you know!
You could freeze it.
And pressure-canning expands the range of what will keep.
Corn, normally too low in acid to keep well, is one of the foods pressure-canning seems to be meant for. (If God wanted us all to live out of the freezer, we’d all be living in igloos.)
People have tried for years to convince me that succotash is food. I can tell the difference, people!
You're not from Missouri.
Had some things get lost in my ping list, and this was one.
Prayers are going up for the baby! God’s blessings and comfort on the family.
Succotash
Ingredients
1/4 lb sliced bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 ears corn, kernels cut off and cobs discarded
1 large fresh jalapeño chile, seeded and finely chopped
1 (10-oz) package frozen baby lima beans, thawed
1/2 lb okra, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
3/4 lb cherry tomatoes (1 pint), halved
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, or to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Preparation
Cook bacon in a large skillet over moderate heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, leaving fat in skillet.
Add onion to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in corn, jalapeño, lima beans, okra, and tomatoes and cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in vinegar, basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve succotash with bacon crumbled over.
LOL!
Jalapeno? Okra? Garlic? Such things never entered my grandmother’s kitchen!
DP makes enormous amounts of everything (and then won’t touch the leftovers). We’ve finally grown the family to the point that they’ll eat all of one of his dishes, if they’re all home and it’s something they like.
Sorry, Joe. It has okra. Not in my diet plan. ;o]
Friday. I’m up, but whether I’m awake is debatable. I have an appointment with the ophthalmologist this morning, and I’m not looking forward to it.
Running low on gas, and I’ve still got two weeks yet...Ohwell.
The cake was “iffy.” The top layer slid, though I had tried to level out the bottom layer. And though the cake was “cool” it was still warm enough for some of the frosting to want to slide off as well.
I think next time I make a devil’s food cake, I will substitute coffee for the water. I think it will improve the taste dramatically.
Funny!
Good luck with the ophthalmologist. I copied your spelling!
I have just Frank and Kathleen at home this morning. It’s quiet!
“All new MODEM GUARD by Blgthrgth!”
You probably think you’re in the wrong house! LOL!
I’m out the door. I’ll see you when I get back.
