“The RoseBouquet”

Well, that Garden walk (photo pages) went over very well last week! I’ve had comments on it from several subscriber friends. If you missed it, you can still come walk with me through our garden with scenes from May, June and July. You start over here; Garden-May

Over the weekend I worked at using up a big jumbo zucchini. I found some nice recipes online and even went out to fetch another zucchini. We had it in a stir-fry on Saturday evening, and I put a Zucchini Herb and Fresh Potato soup in the crockpot on Sunday morning, but the potatoes weren’t done when we got back from church, so I left it there to simmer all day. (We ate leftovers instead).

I prepared the fixings for a Zucchini Cheddar Quiche and took them along to my brother Tom’s in the city on Sunday afternoon. He had got fed up with his Windows XP crashing and had called asking me to help him set up his computer with a Linux system like I have. So we worked at that all afternoon. Dad dozed in Tom’s living room in front of the big-screen TV.

At the right time I got up and combined the Quiche ingredients and put two deep dish pie pans of it into the oven. It turned out so good that between the three of us, we finished off both pans of quiche!

Dad has since said at home, that if I cook like that with zucchini, he doesn’t mind if I make some every day! That is a HIGH compliment from Dad. “Write it on the chimney,” as Gra’ma would say.

Point is though, that we now have more than enough zucchini to share! Are you coming by this way? I did find out that our post mistress (who is from another small town and new here), is happy to have whatever I bring her. Except rhubarb; she declined that when I asked about it Monday).
