It's really pretty amazing to see the vast rolling fields of corn in IA and western IL. Here's a pic from a few years back that I like It's prime sweet corn time so we picked up some on the way back home. Look at the length of these ears! We've been eating a lot of caprese too with tomatoes and basil from the garden. Here the missus does a little food styling fer the pic Nice! Pat and I have been eating bunches of sweet corn the farmer neighbor friend plants and lets folks pick. Nothing that long but fat ears, do fat ears count? Now to the Caprise salad. that is what we had for supper tonight except a giant one in big bowls. Tell the misses Pat just pitched all in layers and was not eye candy like Kathys plating. ness and nomolites 1 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

ness Posted August 5 Author Posted August 5 My daughter and SIL recently bought a house. Pretty cool place: a farmhouse built in 1930 on about an acre of land in OP. It's gonna take a lot of work but it's got all the stuff they were looking for: a decent size lot, large garage, etc. So, anyhoo. There's a mulberry tree on the property and they made some excellent jelly. Besides run-of-the-mill jelly applications, I've stuck a little in my ho' made yogurt the last couple days. Delicious! Oh, and we all know about the mulberry tree downsides. But they're excited and so am I. nomolites, BilletHead and rps 3 John
MOPanfisher Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Left alone for a few hours and wasn't up to doing anything outside. Soni decided to make some skillet bread for lunch. First I skinned a Johnsonville brat and browned the meat in a skillet. Next a couple scoops of Bisquick, garlic and various seasonings as they struck my fancy. Added the browned meat and mixed it up again. Into the skillet for a quick cook. Pretty darn good, a little too much salt but still good. Tastes like biscuits and gravy without the mess. And since we had a bunch of maters a quick batch of Pico, needed more jalapeno but still good. I used the ninja food processor because I like to just drink it out of a glass, kind of like a hillbilly V8 drink. rps, nomolites, Greasy B and 2 others 5
