Whoopie pies remind me of round devil dogs

Made veggie soup from the squash & beans in my garden......

Sounds delish! Feeling better, I hope.

last night at VBS they had a cookout for all the families, usual bbq fare, good thing they have HUGE tents, drizzly and felt like a fall day

Oh, yum.....everyone's dinners so so good!

Turkey going in for a swim any min now!... I can't wait!!!!

I just tried my drink of the day .. Cherry rum and coke zero!!!

Stadium food tonight. Going to see the Boulders.

Chicken salad.....

pizza with a group from church

turkey came out great... he had soooo much food I didn't even get to try it all.. and I found out there is a bakery near me that makes great donuts.. my neighbor brought them to the party... the glazed ones were man hole covers!!!

OOOH, sounds YUMMY!

they reminded me of ones my dad picked up for us when we were kids... that good!!!!.. so nice to have something made with care like that

I would def. be happy in that place!!

no doubt Randy and I will go visit it soon.. I could only eat 1/2 of the jelly one .. it was huge.. and filled heavy too.. was the only thing I had for dessert with all those choices there.. LOL

I forgot to post the picture of the Red, White & Blue Ice Cream Cake I made for our party. I almost didn't get to snap one as my brother was slicing away at it before I knew it. He was the biggest kid who had permission to use a knife....and couldn't wait!
Next time I will make the layers of ice cream a tad thicker. :)

oohhh that does look yummy!!!

Yum! Cake looks wonderful! Today I made Yankee pot roast, noodles, squash & beans from the garden....

Dang that cake looks sooo good!

Burgers & corn on the grill with macaroni salad.

My cousin has to avoid gluten also and she found gluten free donuts, they were really good

ribs are cooking as I type

we closed our bad eating weekend with porterhouse steaks, corn, asparagus, and carrots .. full belly now.. used the charcoal grill with smoking chips.. nice thing about the small grill Randy put it on the deck for me.. and we have the fireproof mat for under it.. so I was able to sit and not walk too far.. all good

Chicken packets on the grill....taters, summer squash, zucchini, broccoli, carrots and onions.

Got our first crop of basil and cucumbers from garden, so had to put it to use. DW baked flounder with homemade pesto, parsley potatoes, and I contributed corn and a salad from a Boothbay Blonde cuke, arugula and michili. Looking forward to her blue-straw-berry tart for dessert later.

Went out for Mexican for lunch, so probably won't be hungry anytime soon

Oh, YUMMMMM!

Don, I've grown Boothby Blondes.....this year I tried Salt & Pepper which are very nice.....

I had a thanksgiving dinner yesterday.....could not wait until Nov.!! LOL

Mmm
I made a sirloin roast on the grill last night, and just finished slicing the rest up for sandwiches.

Robin:
'Salt and Pepper' is usually thought of as a small pickling cucumber, but DW has decreed that we aren't going to have any jars of vinegar smelling up the house! Is it also good for eating raw? I'm also trying 'Lemon Slicer' and 'Spacemaster' this year, but they are not quite ripe yet.

Yes, Don, it's good eating....mild & teeny seeds.....I do pickle, so that's what I grow.....my DIL made pasta with ham, onions, & garden peas last night...very tasty!

must have been our deep fried turkey getting to you Celeste!!!

I had been craving it and then you mentioned it and that was all she wrote!! LOL I had a butterball in the freezer so I took it out. ^_^
