It has been such a quiet day...I woke with the sound of rain, which, for July ...is like manna from Heaven. My garden was due to be watered, but the rains have come and I don't have to do that chore! I did go to the garden between the rains ...just to pick..I love that part! Picking is the reward for all the hard work...Today I harvested squash, cucumbers and purple hull peas. I have eaten squash 3 different ways this week! I'm sure I'll try another recipe this week because it is really "coming on." I also picked okra..not enough to cook today, but this week there will be enough..I LOVE fried okra. It's about the only thing I fry any more, so I'll get out the Wesson Oil and my electric skillet and crank that baby up and fry some okra! There is a secret to the BEST FRIED OKRA you have ever eaten, so if you want it, just comment and I will tell you!
We didn't have Community group tonight...holiday weekend and lots are out of town. Good night to stay home and listen to the rain. I am reading a mystery by Mary Higgins Clark..I love her books. She writes a great mystery..usually a "who done it" type of crime...
Well, gonna go shower and read and listen to the pitter-patter of raindrops...love that sound.
Also, will include pictures of the new "covered pergola" over the outdoor kitchen. Will edit this post tomorrow with pics..my friend, Cheryl helped me build it yesterday. It was pretty comical to see the two of us building this thing...but we finally got it up and secure. Can't wait to cook in it this week...once the rain stops...more later..
It's one of those "WONDERFUL, ORDINARY DAYS"..AHHHHH
