There are two types, the green and the ripe.
You can not let them get too ripe or they make a gooey sweet mess of deliciousness, but it is really messy.
The sweet ones are yellow with the black stripes in them. Cut into one-inch chunks and deep fat fry.
The green ones can be just yellow or...
The First weekend in June always gets a party! Because June is a fabulous month.
Tonight is grilled BBQ ribs, fried plantains, in season fruit salad, Chips and salsa, brownies and ice cream
oh! and my killer baked beans. I do not actually bake them so I suppose I should rename them.
There...
I am thinking that it is time for a serious clean out. I need to apply the closet clearing mentality to my cabinets.
If I have not used it in two years, get rid of it.
I could make room for different toys.
I have most of my space filled with wine carboys and fermenters.
I need to rethink that...
I do not have one.
I keep thinking I should invest in one.
There are so many gadgets out there that I would like to have, but space is always an issue.
Oh meI me! I would like the Mexican red rice burritos one!
I Buy all different types of beans in bulk and then I pressure can them so that I have quick meal prep.
I bought some red beans, they were smaller than kidney bean -not pinto.. sweet-ish, do you know what I do with them?

You all are so good.
After three months of clean diligent eating... I had nutter butters and two heath bars.
I thought I would wake up in tears of regret, but I am okay with it.
Tonight is the potluck that my husband has for his greenhouse management class each semester.
It is always fun.
You would think people would just blow it off, but it is the highlight of their semester.
There is always a lot of specialty ethnic foods -which I love- and the traditional covered...
We grilled burgers and pineapple.
I made the most beautiful burger, but I had to squish it down to fit into my mouth.
Then all the pickles and mushrooms squirted out the sides and took the cheddar cheese with it.
I am 1/2 German and just love stir fry... so... yummy is yummy.
and I have never had a pierogi I might have to look into that.
I am making bbq ribs, spinach salad, and grilled pineapple for Easter and having a couple friends over.
(and cheesecake.)
Tonight is popcorn and netflix.
My grandfather ate watermelon and cantaloupe with salt.
I could not understand why he did not like the taste by itself. I would gasp wide-eyed and horrified that he was ruining such a fine piece of melon.
He did die of congested heart failure, so ...Blooie, I am here to tell you that fruit...
