A delicious week, with an abundance of garden produce, several meatless entrees, and lots of variety.
When I was cleaning the kitchen, one day earlier this week, I decided to get out the fall tablecloth. I'm not pushing summer out the door, exactly, but ushering in a season of harvest and thanksgiving. (Plus, the summer table runner and straw mats were needing a good cleaning.) We have so much for which to be thankful.
Live Chat Opportunity
For anyone interested, I will be online and live tomorrow morning (Saturday, August 10, 2019) from 9 AM to 11 AM, PDT with a post of miscellaneous "stuff" from this past week and to answer any questions you may have about how I do things, what my days' schedules look like, particular recipes you'd like, or even to ask a question of another online friend, here. I also have a couple of questions of my own for which I'd like to get some suggestions (one having to do with how to best patch or salvage jeans with a hole in a bad/indecent spot, and the other needing a recipe for rhubarb chutney that uses ingredients that I have on hand -- I'll specify those ingredients tomorrow). Ruthie, I'll type up my recipe for pita bread in this post tomorrow morning. Anyway, if you can drop by, say hi tomorrow morning from 9 to 11 AM PDT. I'd love to chat with you all. If you can't be there, then, I'll check back on the comments over the rest of the weekend.
Have a great weekend, everybody! Hope to hear from some of you tomorrow!
