Kombucha: apple cider and cherry mixed.
Dessert: Just tea tonight because I lost it in the sweets department in the middle of the night.

(36,244 posts)We have gotten just over an inch of gentle rain per my garden rain guage, which is really good because it has been so very dry.
Eating a cup of soup at lunch listening to the rain today is now a nice memory

(41,728 posts)That's the way the plants love it. I think it's coming our way in the next 2 days.
This past weekend saw the end of the Bethel Woods Harvest Festival where merchants from all around NY, NJ, PA and elsewhere hawk their goodies. We bought sour pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, several types of olives, French baguettes (two-for-one as it was closing time!) and freshly made crab cakes from MD.
Ill sautée the cakes in olive oil and serve them on a bed of iceberg lettuce with lemon, hot sauce and tartar sauce. Fried corn and steamed asparagus as sides.
Vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Good Evening

(41,728 posts)and it's a good, low cal meal. You can use tomato sauce and I sometimes add basil pesto if I have it.
BTW how many watermelons are left out of the 12 you saved from the deer/raccoons/groundhogs?

(38,283 posts)they are small ones. I love spaghetti squash and we normally grow it every year. Still getting tomatoes and peppers out of the garden, but I look for a killing frost here within the next few weeks.

(1,599 posts)Rained here all day so I made a vegetable soup with chopped garlic, ginger, onions, celery, carrots, red bell pepper, sliced cabbage and mushrooms that was sweated before I added veggie broth, tamari, cooked green peas, tofu cubes, sliced canned water chestnuts, hot pepper flakes, and a splash of sesame oil. Last minute I added cooked brown rice noodles. House smelled nice. Cheers!🥂
