How neat Kevin!!! Have you ever had or been to a taffy pull, it is something I have always wanted to do, and never got around to it! Now I will have to make an effort as I do think it would be so neat!!!

Let's see - when you head out to the garden with all your big baskets you first begin to enjoy your labors!

Grab a good-sized mater and chomp on it - make sure it is good - you don't want to feed your family anything that doesn't taste good - no salt needed.

A couple green ones are good for batter/breading.

The cukes and zucchini - there is so much you can do with them!

Peppers - now those could also be taste-tested - you know - just in case your seeds were "bad" - LOL!

Grab a handful of dill for making pickles.

Corn - fresh right off the stalk - sooooo good!

Radishes get a rinse with the garden hose - ditto carrots.

Lettuce - well - just gotta wash it first.

Mamma,

All I can say is thank goodness we're not neighbors. We'd stay in hot water w/everyone! And us being such sweet innocent ladies & such, well imagine that!!!

But gosh we would have fun & that'd be that!

Excuse me - YES, WE ARE LADIES!

Maybe a tad silly at times, maybe even down right NUTS at times - but heck - you only come around once - stuffed shirts are not for me. Don't get me wrong - I've gone to my fair share of $1500/plate dinners.

And I've got news for you - those people are daffy-er than you think!

I just like down to earth people - stuff my pasta instead! LOL
