The green beans in my garden are growing like wild!

I wish I could have a garden, but alas my backyard, while plenty spacious, is hopelessly overrun with ivy. Any garden I attempted to plant would surely be consumed within days...

That said, my FiL is a botanist, and has a huge backyard garden, which keeps me in plenty of fresh veggies all spring, summer, and fall.

I can't wait for his baseball bat sized zucchinis in the fall. I give it a treatment very similar to the traditional stuffed pepper - basmati rice, chorizo, onions, peppers, bake until the zucchini is just tender, then cover with mozzarella and broil until the cheese is brown. Great fall dinner item.

sorry i was thinking a cold fish soup. i thought there was such a thing i guess i am wrong.

I don't know of any offhand, but if you come up with one, I'd be interested. Fish is my middle name.

I had to call a temporary "cease fire" on the food delivery, as we only have 4 people in my family and everyone is cooking for 10. Plus, we have lots in th freezer, lol! I'm overrun by food . So tonight is smorgsbord night, it ought to be great.

BTW, Ms M, you peppers look devine!!!

Quesadilla - Flour tortillas, shredded Colby/Jack cheese mix and a nearly empty bottle of La Victoria taco sauce (I forgot I didn't have regular salsa.) Three minutes in a hot cast iron skillet and two minutes to spare before the Chicago Cubs game starts!

I think it's a little scary when, for whatever reason, Paul Lynde starts singing and dancing in your head. But, yes, I do recall, now I have a little song of my own going! Thanks ALOT!!!
