Fresh Produce

The garden is producing an abundance of wonderful things and I am cooking and canning as fast as I can!  The zucchini is doing especially great this year.
Here is a recipe for you to try that calls for sliced zucchini.

Fried Squash
Wash and slice squash in rings.
Dry mixture
3 C flour
1 C biscuit mix
2T salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic salt

Wet Mixture
1 egg, beaten
1 pint buttermilk
1/2 C ice water
1 T oregano

Dip slices in the dry mixture, then in the wet mixture, then back in the dry mixture!  Fry in hot oil.  Delicious!  Enjoy!

And finally, a picture of the wonderful Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Orange Zest Glaze!

Aged to Perfection

This great junk is certainly aged to perfection.  Fritz and Frieda discarded these things about 65 years ago and they have been buried in a pasture all this time.  I am putting it to very good use on a piece I am submitting to our local Artist Guild show titled "All Things Trees".  A picture will follow in an upcoming post. Do good things and keep creating on this glorious Wednesday!  Check out some great things on Julia's blog....HEREhttp://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.com/!

Georgia O'Keefe Inspiration

The cactus forming this beautiful blossom is called Echinopsis Longispina!  The needles are very long!  It can be found growing on the mountain slopes in Bolivia or in a pot on my patio!  The blossom usually only lasts one day...so enjoy it while you can. Looks like something Georgia O'Keefe would paint!

I've been away too long!  Lots of busy things going on here at the end of school and during the month of May!  More to come in the next couple of days.

Have a great week!

PINK SATURDAY - Lovely Pink Stuff

Happy Pink Saturday everyone! Here are some photos of some lovely pink things for your viewing pleasure!

     I just love "evening dresses"!  That's what we called them when I was a kid playing dress up!  And these soooo remind me of my childhood!  Beautiful frocks, indeed!  Hey,,,where is that prince charming?  Oh,,,I live with him!  Lucky me!  And....lucky he!!!!  Have a great weekend  and be sure to stop by and say Howdy to Beverly  HERE  to see more delicious pink things.

PINK SATURDAY and Happy Easter - More from Warrenton

Can you say Pink Cowgirl Boot? Yippey Ya Yea!

Another trip to nearby Warrenton, Texas afforded me the opportunity to snap a few more pics of pretty pink things.  The fields were full of wonderful junk ripe for the picking! And there is soooo much to see and there is no way a junker can visit every booth and every tent!  But we sure tried our best.

A beautiful way to end the week and prepare for a glorious Easter Sunday full of thanksgiving, blessings and egg hunts.  Stop on over to see more yummy pink things HERE!

Junk Drunk in Round Top/Warrenton, Texas!

Exciting trip to Round Top/Warrenton recently! We found some cool things, as usual! Take a peek at some of the stuff that made us "junk drunk"!  Clever  entrance to a tent in the Zapp Hall area of Warrenton. Burlap is definitely the decorator item of the moment!

Of course, I love mermaids so I had to snap this lovely sea nymph.

Is this not the coziest sitting area for the vendor at her darling pink trailer/booth?  Francine and Frieda could surely enjoy a glass of pink champagne around that little table!
More to come...didn't get enough...returning to get "junk drunk" at least one more time.  Tune in next time for more pics from Warrenton.

WOYWW 147 - Tie Dyed

Colorful sharpies, 91% alcohol, and a Red Solo Cup!  lol   Czech mine out!  I have a feeling even Fritz, who is not the most coordinated guy around, will be able to do this project!  Maybe he'll decide to make a cool Easter gift for Frieda!     Meanwhile, back at the ranch..........hop over and czech out all the wonderful things on the workdesks of others around the world HERE!  Happy Wednesday from Central Texas!
