It probably came from the Depression. She also made a potato soup with rivlets made from an egg and flour. One of my favorites!Nana Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280613158936162771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-8667471449724327362019-07-24T09:55:25.710-04:002019-07-24T09:55:25.710-04:00Linda it was always like that at my parents house....Linda it was always like that at my parents house. Especially on Sunday - it just so happened that many cousins would show up 'to visit' at meal time! Mom was always eager to feed anyone that came to the house. No one every left hungry.<br />Things are so different now and like you - I miss those days.<br />We had such a good time with family and then we would go out back and play croquet or horseshoes. Hang out under the shade trees and us kids would make our own fun.<br />Those were the days!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-28122843745839224892019-07-24T08:16:28.604-04:002019-07-24T08:16:28.604-04:00Your comment made me think how we would drop in to...Your comment made me think how we would drop in to visit others....or they would drop in to see us. You always offered for them to join you for a meal. It wasn't a feast or anything fancy..just a nice balanced meal. You looked in the frig, freezer or pantry and piece mealed together. And it was usually pretty darn good. And if someone else was feeding you, it tasted awesome and it was such a treat to not have to cook one time...you felt so treated. I miss those times. Anymore people entertain....not just visit. Guess I am old...but, know what....maybe I like it that way...ya!Linda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280910391312645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-92029570160068964632019-07-23T20:59:51.572-04:002019-07-23T20:59:51.572-04:00Thanks!

Dh bought me an instant pot for my birthday last week (he likes gifting me gadgets :D, and since I had a half gallon of milk about ready to go off, I thought I would try making yogurt.

An old co-worker of mine stopped by the other day and was talking about how it would be neat to be able to cook something other than hotdogs and eggs. He is a huge book collector and is in his 80's and single.<br />I sarcastically said "you can read can't you?"

As I'd menti...Hi Cheryl, thanks for this post. As I'd mentioned, a week ago my niece and her husband came to visit and brought me lots of fresh fruit and vegetables from a Farmer's Market she visited: a cantaloupe, 1/2 of a watermelon, cherries, apricots, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, green beans, onions and potatoes. From her freezer she brought packages of strawberries, blueberries and two ears of corn! Such a bounty! I've been eating the fresh plain, with yogurt, in salads, etc. I still had cherries left and I didn't want to lose any and I had eaten a LOT so I pitted them getting 5 cups. I filled two freezer bags with 2 cups each and made a compote/sauce with the remaining 1 cup. Found a recipe for Black Forest Brownies - can hardly wait to try it! Needless to say, I've been fixing meals using up all this bounty! Also, made a loaf of banana-pecan bread using two sad-looking bananas, pecans from my freezer. My son sent me a gallon freezer bag of shelled pecans for Christmas last year. Where he lives in the Southwest they grow all over and go to waste. He gathers them and when they are ready, he shells and packages them using some and barters and gifts the rest. It's been too hot in my 2nd flr apt to use the oven (I discovered)for dehydrating but when it cools down I will try my hand at it with some fruit and vegies from the freezer. Sorry this is so long. But..... :) Needless to say, I definitely on board for the no-spend month starting now!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877171147239181621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-41460383514108192102019-07-23T10:58:23.452-04:002019-07-23T10:58:23.452-04:00This is a good reminder!
