If the D, gets tired of me doing this just let me know

Squash Casserole
Sugar
6 Cups squash- I usually use about 4 large or 6 smaller ones, depends on how much we want to make
1 Large onion
Liquid smoke-optional
3- large tablespoons of sour cream
1/2- can cream of mushroom soup
Shredded cheese- What ever kind you like, mild cheddar. We have been using Velveeta, like it better now
Ritz crackers, We like the Kroger brand best

Cook the squash, onions until tender, drain water, let cool some

Mix sour cream, cream of mushroom soup and some shredded cheese to the squash and onions, add a little smoke if you want and add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar

Place mixture in a baking dish, add a layer of shredded cheese on top

Place crushed Ritz crackers on top of mixture completely covering the squash mixture
Place several pats of butter on top of Ritz crackers

Bake in oven @ 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. I know every oven cooks different this is about how long it takes in ours. Enjoy.
 
Worked for about four hours in the garden cultivating.....garden was looking great......I finally came in about 5PM and took a shower and drank a couple of Gator Aid and some water to cool down.........when the Director came in we went back to look at my work.........a damn ground hog had been in my sweet potato patch and decimated one whole row of plants....they were just starting to run too..........I have my 8" head traps set.......they won't eat another bite from my garden....those varmints must be able to smell those sweet potato plants.........FYI sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family.......tomorrow is butcher day......22 rabbits to get into the freezer........we are replacing beef with rabbit.........a lot more healthier.........

Someone had written in a bathroom stall, "I like grils." Someone came along and crossed out "grils" and wrote "girls" instead. The next person then wrote, "What do you have against us grils?"
I remember this from a White Castle stall at 7th & Broadway:
Here I sit broken hearted . . .
Paid my dime and only farted.
We had a number of posts a few weeks ago about Lake Mead. Saw this just now....
Thanks
Call me crazy.
OK . . . common affliction of Vincents. There is no cure.

Couple weeks ago we were talking about varmints in the garden. We've had ground hogs on this property for at least 50 years. Guess they don't move around much and it's a generational thing. So far, they've never got in our veggie garden. It's in one field and the ground hogs are in another....so maybe when they come out to eat they don't travel very far.
A few years ago one was getting very close to the back yard...so I nailed him with my high powered pellet gun.
Heard a thud...he fell down...was motionless for about a minute...then got up and made a bee line for one of his tunnel holes. Don't know how smart they are, but the other 1 or 2 must have got the message from him 'cause I didn't see any for about 6 months. And now they don't even get close.

Rabbit is good stuff. Family tradition along with squirrel, squab and of course . . . fish. Music question . Do you know a Portland carpenter/bluegrass musician named Chetty? He was raised in Portland among my Dad's bestest of friends for some 70 years.

I have read that the ground hog can/will travel up to two miles from their den feeding.......
Plant some sweet potatoes and stand back......my method of trapping ensures that they never travel that far to feed again......I have spotted several in just the last three weeks as I am driving down our street........I have a Gameo 1300 which will put them down with a head shot........I prefer trapping them.....I don't have to wonder if I winged them........
 
With all of these great recipes I am reminded June is the last month for fresh garden tomatoes down here. For three months we will not have any then in October they will produce until next July. So it might be time to have a good old fashioned tomato pie. If you know how to make them it sure hits the spot. We always serve them with some type of pork. Bacon and pork chops are especially good with tomato pie.

Tomato Pie
  • 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • 2 Prepare a pie crust or you can buy pie crusts at Publix ready to go
  • 3 Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 4 Layer sliced tomatoes on baked crust. Sprinkle with green onions and basil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • 5 Mix together Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and mayonnaise in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture over tomatoes.
  • 6 Bake until edges are lightly browned and cheese mixture is melted and bubbly, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • We also fry up bacon and crumble then sprinkle over the pie. And if you are really hungry fry up a mess of pork chops and a pan of biscuits with gravy.

Nothing much better than a fresh tomato sandwich on light bread with mayo, and a decent sprinkle of black pepper, I like crackers in between the bread too, to give it some crunch but I can do without the crackers. Especially the first sandwich, just the light bread, tomato, and mayo... Best there ever was good...

I think when it all boils down, a fresh picked tomato, bacon and lettuce sandwich is my favorite sandwich on earth. Sometime my wife makes a platter of them for supper. Fast, easy and just goooood eating
 
I agree about the simple life. My favorite summer meal with fresh picked tomatoes and basil is Caprese salad. One of the many reasons that I grow both.

That looks damn good 82. Back in 1999, during the Kosovo crisis, I lived in Macedonia, in the capital of Skopje, while slipping in and out of Kosovo.

They made a real simple salad there with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers and feta cheese that was delicious.
Here's a simple recipe I found on line, but it all comes down to really fresh ingredients and the execution...

Put a peice of Fischer's Extra Thick Slice Bologna on that sandwich and you can lure me just about anywhere.....

Thanks! Looks like an excellent summer salad. We grow plenty of parsley too so that makes it even better.
 
When I was at Goodfellow AFB for one of my MOS' (98C) during my AIT, the Dining facility served Rabbit. At least they told us that was what it was. It was good eating. I had it regularly.
During all my years in the service, I might have dined on rabbit at least once inside a military dining facility. Perhaps Fort Bliss. T'was pretty good.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and clear. Slight rain chance today. Today's high expected around 100°F. We hit triple digits (100°F) yesterday for the first time this year.

Police apprehended two suspects in the mass shooting over the weekend on 6th Street in which one person was killed and 13 others wounded. At least one suspect is a juvenile. How the heck are these kids obtaining firearms?

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

They are obtaining firearms the same way criminals will get them if they outlaw them. Illegally.

Morning Legionnaires!

Took in laws to the Wichita Wild Life Refuge yesterday and visited the Holy City there. Below is a link with a bio and picture replicas of the actual Holy City of the days of Jesus. Local Indian legend has it that Jesus visited this area but not sure when. Also pictured below is wife and daughter selfie at the Holy City.




Tomorrow, we are taking them to Mount Scott and then to Medicine Park which is a local historical area with a rustic setting and antique shops and restaurants. One restaurant sits next to a large creek which has a large balcony eating area where you can also feed the fish in the creek with left overs which people do. It sits up higher where you can look down in to the creek.


Oh and by the way, FIL is paying for this day. It will me be and my wife's 21st Wedding Anniversary tomorrow.

awf, I am writing down each page, but I also just figured out that that little square in the upper right hand corner by that number is a bookmark, it shows up when you start to sign out, your accounts and bookmarks.
 
Good Morning all,
Been up with the chickens (Grandson). He is cutting some back teeth with some fever. He will stay home from Pre-School today. My Darling will be busy. I will have to keep my door locked but I doubt that will stop him. ;)

Oh, may God's love shower you with blessings today. Keep the faith GOD is in control.

God Bless you all...
