Make pumpkin soup! 12 oz pureed pumpkin, 12 oz mashed potatoes, 3 oz chunky peanut butter, 12 oz buttermilk, 12 oz vegetable stock. Lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon to taste, enough water to keep it soupy as it cooks down. You can double or triple this recipe as you need. Delicious!
Thanks for checking in!!
sorry for the loss of your friend (ex sis-in-law).
you are certainly busy!! Hopefully the house can get finished and sold.
We did have 2 different people stop and ask if the house is for sale! We said it would be once we get the rest of the work finished. The siding is almost completed.
Then we have to finish the wiring and get the electrician to come in, put up drywall, get the plumber to come back and finish up, make and install stairs to the basement, paint, install cabinets in kitchen, install countertop in kitchen, install shower & medicine cabinet & mirror in upstairs bathroom, frame in and finish downstairs bathroom, and I want to sand (and stain?) the hardwood floors (oh, and I have some areas to repair in the floor as well).
Omg....I am sooooo jealous. We went mushroom hunting for morels every year when we lived up north. I've been looking for them in Arkansas for 17 years and they still eluded me down here.... We are going back up north over Mother's day weekend to look for morels and see family.
I seem to find them near oak trees, but I have also heard that they are found near elm trees too.
Also, I don't remember who has the plum tree that is dying (
@BReeder! maybe?). That happened to me last year but with pear trees. I ordered 2 types of pear trees from Stark Brothers. They both arrived in great shape. I planted them and they were flourishing! But then suddenly, one of them died completely. It turned black and all the leaves fell off. If I didn't know better I would think that it was too close to a fire, but I know it wasn't. The other pear tree is doing great. The dead looking one is still dead looking. It was a Bartlett Pear Dwarf. I guess I will need to get another pear tree of some kind. If I remember correctly you need 2 varieties for pollination.
I hope you can figure out what happened to your plum tree.
Oh, we did get a handful of asparagus today from the garden when we got home. Not sure how it will do this year because the strawberry patch took over the asparagus patch. The wild strawberries invaded the area too!
