Well--it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what we have been doing here at my house today!!! We have been squirreling away corn for the cold winter months to come!!! I can't believe that this is the last bit of corn of the season--fall is among us folks!!! So~~yes!!! I am a little squirrleeee right about now!!!! LOL!!!! I think I will be sacking corn in my sleep.

Do You See What I See?

OK---ladies I am writing this blog as a previous tomato snob!!! Mom has blanched and froze tomatoes for years but--and I can't for the life of me understand why~~I wouldn't use them!!!! I guess I thought it was gross or well I really don't know?? So--I would spend a great deal of money on the canned ones at the grocery store.   The store bought ones~~are they cleaner?? Oh my, I don't think so.  Are they tastier than our garden variety---I must have been out of my mind because there is nothing better than my dad's homegrown tomatoes.  So--is it that they were just plain messy and gross?? I really don't see how they could be any messier than a can of tomatoes because the canned variety are plop...plop...plop and juice splatters all over you and the wall. The homegrown variety is a frozen block of tomatoes that you take from a bag and place it in the pot!!! So--ALL I can say is that I was a tomato SNOB!!!!!!

The last 2 years or so--I have changed my mean ways and have established an unlimited love affair with the wonderful glorious tomato.  So...ya see girls~~in this bag I see freshness on a crisp cold winter day because I am going to use these tomatoes in my homemade pasta sauce. I see homemade salsa touching my taste buds when there is not a sprig of grass to be seen for months to come.

Look at the little beauty~~~do you see it?? The healthy goodness from the garden in the dead of winter and I will be giving all of that to my family.  All of this because I over came my fear of the tomato and have learned to blanch and freeze all this goodness while it is at the peak of ripeness...and use it when I am ready.

Lessons learned~~I hope!!!

My son is a worker and if you know him at all, you would have to agree!!!

I love this about him and really admire his work ethic!!!

However--over work has played a toll on his truck....soooooo

Papa David, Rob, and Matthew have been busy with....wellll I will

just let you see!!!!!

Get my drift???? Lesson learned from this event~~~~issssss...

Don't use your things to do a job without figuring that into your

bid!!!! That's really all I am gonna say about the subject.

Wait, one more thing---

Rob and Papa have put a positive spin on this costly little venture.  Hands on Auto Mechanics 100.  Look at the positives~~at least that is what I am trying to do.

Richness to the MAX.....

Well---I made my honey his favorite pie!!!! Wanna guess what it is??? Nope~~got it wrong!!!! It's chocolate cream pie!!! Here it is!!!!

I made the crust homemade and the chocolate cream filling!!! Then I made the mile-high

brown sugar meringue.  I think that's what put it over the top!!!! I am tellin' ya that I

could hardly eat my piece---notice I said hardly!!!! I managed to finish the pie and lick my plate--of course--with a big Starbucks mug full of coffee.

Look at the brown crispeee peaks on this babeeeee!!!!

That is all I have to say--I am on my way to the kitchen to get me another little snickle!!!!!








Oh--a snickle is more than a teensy piece but not as walloping as a regular piece!! It makes me feel better if I think of it this way~~~it's just me!!!

The Touch..The Feel..Of Horse~~~

I am telling you that there is nothing like it~~I mean once you have done it you

will crave it!!! The touch..the feel..the smell of a muzzle.  Not just any muzzle but the muzzle of a horse. You will come back for more and more each day!!!

Just look at that nose and chin and the prickley whiskers.  The mixture of sensations~~

softness that you can only find here--yet the stiffness of course hair!!! Weird=but 

AWESOME!!!!!! 

 

Just look at the coloring of that face!!!! The gray fades into the white and then

fades into the lighest of lighest pinks.  I have never seen coloring and markings on any

other animal that looks this perfect~~my baby~~my beautiful SanDee!!!!!!!

I am tellin' you people that its life changing and will leave a mark in your heart and

soul like NO other!!!! So if you have not ventured our way to pay a visit to my dear

girl~~to touch and feel what I have the honor of each and every day---come on over or down or up--what ever makes your skirt-fly-up and you to can have that same

sensation!!!!!!

MMMMMmmmmm~~~~~oh my!!!!

Check out these little puppies!!!! I am tellin' ya that if you like donuts then your gonna fall in LOVE with these!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! A little hint~Matthew loved them so---that tells ya that they are good.  A teenage palate is a difficult one to pleeeze!!!! LOL!!!!

Look--look--just look at the crispy brown sugar~cinnamon that has locked in with the butter and sealed the outside of the muffin.  So--your taste buds are on an explosion ride of taste and texture!!!

Now--I was going to take a pic of the muffin when I took the first bit.

Sorry but this is all your gettin'~~I couldn't stop eating long enough to put down the muffin and pick up my camera!! I had my cup of coffee in one hand and the fork in the other!!!! Go ahead and try these--I will give you the link.
