Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Stew in the crock pot for dinner. Saturdays are soup days. Was able to use my own potatoes. I love that.

I harvested so many tomatoes I think I'll have to can some more. Tomorrow I'll be making tri-tips and I think some candied tomatoes will go well with that. Ever made that with your tomatoes? You roast them very low and slow, 325 for about 2 hours, with a little salt, olive oil and thyme. They turn out incredible.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never made a decent tri tip. Are you roasting the meat or the tomatoes low and slow?

Oh no, the tri tip is roasted hot and fast. It is very much like a london broil.

The tomatoes, on the other hand, are cut in half, dressed up, and roasted low and slow.

I like tri tip cooked in my smoker, at around 400 degrees and to medium rare. MMMmmmmm! Doesn't take long at all.

This is one I smoked a while back...

I prefer to cook it on cast iron skillet when I make tri tip.

So many ways to make tri tip. I don't use the smoker. That is DH job. So I don't usually ask him to do the tri tip. If he is in the mood to do something like that we do. Dinner is usually my job. But whatever method, it is hot and fast and definitely not more done than medium rare.

Well, the atmospheric river is flowing over my place. Been raining pretty good for an hour or two. Glad I got lettuce and carrot seeds into the garden before it started.

Poor chickens won't be let out tonight. They'll have to accept being in jail until some other time. LOL

I picked all the butternut squash in my garden and some were still small and green. I cooked a couple green ones in a skillet, cut into slabs, with some chicken fat. Not too bad. The flesh just started turning orange, and they tasted kind of like a richly flavored zucchini.

Mom's all "We have two 3-day tickets to the Rock the Locks music festival. Do you want to go?"

Not me. I don't think I can deal with it. My youngest brother will probably get them. He can park at Mom's and walk. Mom has 2 resident parking passes for street parking so he will be fine.

They are trying to sweeten up the residents of the town and inconvenience them as little as possible except for the noise. There is absolutely no event parking in McNary. They must park in the official parking lot. They aren't even supposed to enter McNary as you can't get to the event from there.

Mom said they already are getting the blockade ready to prevent anyone from even driving down to the golf course on the main road.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Wow Ya have to agree sound fun but could not even imagine a reason to go.

Deer season opens that weekend. Quite a few residents will be gone for that if it's still the same as when I was a kid.
