i have slugs

Hi everyone, Jim sending you some flowers to feel better .
Chezca, made your sil peach cobbler saturday. Tell her thanks for the recipe site, also made cabbage rolls for first time. Jims recipe is a lot less work but they are both REALLY GOOD according to my peach eaters. You sil recipe is a lot sweeter and crust is like a pie. Jims has more of a peach flavor and cobbler crust. I have orders from the boss( at least I let him think he is) that the next one will be cherry . Well better get back to my kitchen I have one more batch of corn to freeze tonight. Beans and peppers are done for now.

Hi everyone! Jim so good to read that you are feeling much better;-) Chezca, glad you had a nice weekend and jjsgramma....love that daylily!!! Beautiful.

Yes, Lynnie it was Monday! Cat, I am by no mean's independantly wealthy either but I am doing OK right now even with out a job at the present. I just do not have much debt and I am taking advantage of my un-employment benefit's plus I have a good man who take's care of me too;-)

Thanks for the flowers jjs. Day Lilys happen to be my favorite. Got a bunch of pretty ones in the yard but yours is a real knockout. Know exactly where to plant it.

I think I have converted Lynnie. A true southern girl at heart. Course you have to learn to flutter your eyes and say, "Well, bless his heart."

You got me on "shuky beans" cat. That's one I haven't heard of. If they're edible, I'll try them. Do they go good with cornbread. Shucks, everything goes good with corn bread.

Way I got this figured Rachael, that if you have a good man taking care of you, then you must be a good woman taking care of her man. Two way street.

Tomorrow me and the wife fight, I'm gonna mow the yard. She says no I'm not. Guess we find out who wears the britchs.

Hey Jim. I am not Cat but my memorie's of a "shuck bean" ....green bean's that you let dry out before you cut them up and soak them a while before cooking them ! Add in a lil good ole fat back for taste.

Yes, My Bob is a very good man! He was very hard for me to find.....guess he found me though in all reality;-)

Rachel

Yup it sure was monday, Rachel, every which way! I'm glad you're doing ok, things are tough for a lot of people right now.
Jim believe me, I can flutter with the best of them ;) but the closest I've come to that saying is "well god bless him" which can sound a hundred different ways.
Cat what are shukky beans?
I agree with you Chezka fried pie sounds good!

Yes, Lynnie, thing's are alot tougher than what I know for alot of people. I thank God for his blessing's on us here!

Fried pies is a lost art. Gramma was the best, Momma ran a close second. I think it because the dried fruit is so much different today. We used to slip down to the cellar and pull it right off the string and eat it. It was delicious.

In Red Neck you can say anything you want about somebody as long as you end it with, "Well bless his heart." Make sense? Gotta be a red neck.

Rachael, you ever wondered how some of these old folks buy their medicine. I stayed with driving a school bus for a long time just for the insurance. With it I have to pay a max of $50 on a high dollar name brand. At one time I was taking 4 and Jo 2 that cost $50. That's still a lot to lay out each month but I wasn't on a fixed income then. Most of ours are generic now except for 3 and our doctor keeps us in samples of those. I have seen some of these old timers go in to the drug store with a shoe box full of perscriptions. How can they afford it. They're cutting corners someway.

Chezca just shoot em.
Jim my moneys on the wife. Corse if I lose I will have to pay you in pennies.
Rachel Day lilies grow good here. Thanks for the compliment.
Lynnie are you on vacation now?
Have another flower .

Jim, I honestly do not know how some people are able to purchase prescription drug's with out having insurance! I myself at the age of "a young..grin" 43 and Bob being quite a few year's older than me....we have never taken any type! We do believe in a few herb's though;-)

Fried apple pie's......my mom's was the best! I have not had any in moon's though! Mother made the best!

Rachel

Jim my friend taught me that but few people here understand it, so i use the modified version.
Some people split their pills or only take one every other day, instead of every day, to try to stretch it out. Or go even a few days.It's sad that in this country, in this day, people have to do that. And some pills shouldn't be split, it's dangerous.
Hope your rear is recovered ;)
jj i gotta make a cobbler! i've been so busy I won't get to it till next week.

Well this is the only one I have handy. First time I believe I ever saw one with three blooms on one stem.

jjsgramma, you are going to be asked to start naming cultivar's with your beautie's before long!

Chezca, I honestly do not know what to tell you concerning your problem with your critter's. I just noticed a few week's ago that we have a rather large white with silver tip's "squirrel" here. Got that bugger on video ! The opposum's well.......those thing's are a mixed story for me here. I will keep those to myself though;-)

Rachel

Jim, I know what you mean. One of the generics I have to take is $36.00 a month. We have to pay for our prescriptions now until deductible is met. Only met it once in 3 years before. I even changed our generics to one that Our hy vee grocery store pharmacy sell for $4.00 month or $10.00 3 months and my DH still works full time.

Rachel I'll tell you everything I know. I have two different red ones , a yellow one , and orange one. A yellow stella D'or and I just got a purple D'or.
And this one we call a lemon daylily. Best thing is most were free. I tried to figure out which ones they were once but theres way to many that look alike.

Well Chezca, if you were down south you'd bake that possum with some sweet taters. Maybe some collards on the side a big hunk of pone. Maybe a glass of buttermilk. Now that's living.

Or you could spend $50 bucks for a life trap and take some sardines and bait that sucker in, then haul him off and release him. Personally, I pop them there jokers with the 20 gauge. Course citified neighbors might frown on that.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy because I buy all the bowling balls I find. Specially if they are colored. And do this with them

Jim I've eaten squirrel and racoon but never a possum

OOPs that was wrong pic

Thank you jjsgramma!

Jim, Pone bread ring's my bell!! My best visual picture of my Papa (on my mother's side) was of him sitting at a big table eating cornbread in a cup of buttermilk for breakfast/lunch/dinner;-)

Do you like the 'dor day lilies. I personally never cared for them. All mine are knee highs. The breeder, who sold me his seedlings, pulled up and burned everything that got over knee high. We lost several unique colors in the years we were away from home.

Well it's time for a story. I've never eaten possum either. Heres why.

Uncle Fred's last mule died. He took that ole B John Deere tractor and pulled him off in the woods. My cousin and I were about twelve at the time, and our favorite pass time was roving those woods. We stumbled up on that ole mule and stood there considering. Low and behold that ole mules sides were moving. "Daddy done drug off ole Jack and he ain't even dead yet. Well sir, we double dog dared each other to kick that ole mule and make him get up. We could just see how proud Unc would be when we came back leadin ole Jack. Finally, when the darin was over, we decided it was a job for bothus. Bold as brass, we walked right up and kicked the snot out of that dang mule. He didn't get up but 17 possums run out his rear end. So, I don't eat possum.

Squirrel and coon, now that's a different story. If'n you know how to get them kernels out from under their arms, they're purty good eatin.

I guess no one liked my day lily. So I thought I'd post a few more to see if there was one you liked. This is my favorite and the photo doesn't do it justice. Prettiest yellow I've ever seen.

Same thing different shot.

How about this delicate lady.

Pretty in pink.

Wow, keep those pic's coming all! I am enjoying them. I admire the daylily's but love the Asiatic;-)

Rachel

Bold and sassy.

All day lilies. No asiactic. I call this one tiger.

This a picture of the prettiest rose in my garden.

Good morning everyone. Congrats Lynnie for getting 2 weeks off! I have the first week in Sept down to take off but it is SO slow coming! :-) Gonna do anything fun?

Rachel, that's them! Shukky beans I mean. I lived in KY for almost a year way back when. One of the older ladies had strings of shukky beans hanging all over the place in her utility room. Cooked a big pot with fat back, and fixed cornbread in her cast iron skillet with a broken handle. And they were good to go! That was the first time I'd ever heard of shukky beans.

I HAVE thought about shootin them boogers..! But were butted right to a small city park and they live in the park! They just come after our nectarines and peaches and heckel the dogs! Right now my dogs and I have developed this strategy. One of them whimpers as soon as he hears a commotion then both of them stare at the offender until I come up behind them with the hose set on JETS then WHAM! It's really fun but I just can't do it all the time!

I don't think the park ranger will take too kindly with the 12-gauge :-) My DH says use a BB gun, but those things are toys and you won't even draw blood ^-^! I think I'll start planting a thorny bush along the fence. Maybe they'd get stuck in it and find their mummified remains next spring!

Oooo the possum really feraks me out! I wouldn't even go in the backyard when that monstrosity's on the fence! It's EVIL! It's GROSS! It's akkkkkk! It's fugly! It gives me goosbumps just thinkin about it! AKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!! (it's basically a possessed zombie rat-mouse on steroids! I HATE rats!) Brrrrrrr!!!!

Btw, awesome flowers and that's a one-of-a-kind rose in yar garden there gramps!

I like my flowers especially my rose. A one of a kind.

Might try a pellet rifle. They work off of compressed air and make no noise. They are dangerous, because they pack enough punch to kill a squirrel. I can't hack possums. Don't like their looks.

Morning Cat. Your looking forward to Sept. I'm looking forward to Christmas. That's when my babies come home for about ten days. Hard to wait.

Ok you guys, help! I am scanning back up the very long thread (LOL) and can't find the first peach pie recipe someone shared! I want to try to make one of them tonight.

cat, I think gramps Dmailed his recipe. I Dmailed a link for a cobbler pie... Try Cooks.com and search for your pie :-)...

cat: Start at the bottom of the thread and scroll up to the slide is about one third of the distance up and you will be right on top of the receipe. Lynnie put it up. I'll email you Jo's lazy pie if I saved it to file.

I found Lynnes. Just thought there was another one posted. Thanks

I emailed you at work and at home, Jo's Lazy Pie receipe.

Got it. Thanks!!!

Jim I love your lilies especially the Bold and Sassy and the pink one. Your rose looks very nice. Did you mow today??
Cat the recipe that Chezca d-mailed me was at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Old-Fashioned-Peach-Cobbler/Detail.aspx?prop31=1
Lynnie hope you get to do something fun on your time off.
Chezca if you can't shoot em my brother said to get some coyote pee and sprinkle it at edge of yard .
