Long Awaited Gardening Update

All planting is done! It is hard to believe I am saying that as I am almost always finishing planting on Memorial Day Weekend!

Final count 49 tomato plants, 35 pepper plants, 6 brussels sprouts and a couple varieties of lettuce, radishes, zuchinni, cantaloupe, acorn squash, purple onions and herbs!

We have had a few radishes and more will be ready within the next week!

Now the fun begins-keeping up with weeds and also watching things grow!

Hope everyone elses gardening season has been an enjoyable one so far!

Enjoy

Fajita Tip

Cinco De Mayo is tomorrow and I thought I would share with you my favorite fajita seasoning.

It is Bolner's Fiesta brand and it is available at Cub. I highly recommend the Chicken Fajita Seasoning-it is buttery and very very good on everything not just chicken.

Eventhough I am giving you this tip for fajita's for Cinco De Mayo-we are not having fajita's we are having one of my favorites...It is my Dad's Taco's.

These are just good burger with taco seasonings, hot hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoe and freshly grated cheese. Why are they my Dad's taco's???? Because when I was growing up it was my Dad's job to fry the corn tortilla's in oil-he would stand for along time frying up those shells as he would eat 6-10 taco's in one sitting!

This was one of his favorite meals! Gotta love those memories-especially when they have to do with my dad and food!!!

By the way, I add homemade refried beans on the side to round out our meal!

Chick Pic Week 4



The kids have access to outside this week-none of them are braving it at this point-but we are figuring the wind we have been having is freaking them out!

FiddleHeads

We found enough fiddleheads yesterday to get a good little taste of them-it is truely on the end of their season!

All I did was saute them in a little olive oil and butter with salt and pepper and the taste was amazing-very nutty and fresh.

We enjoyed them so much that we are going out today and get some more and I am going to put them in our egg rolls tonight.

MMMMMMMMMM!

By the way we were successful and found some of our own morels-we will be looking again today-hopefully luck will be on our side again today.
