It has been raining a lot herein rural west NY and I was planning to make chicken and biscuits but am out of chicken stock-for the gravy, so I went to amazon to see what people are buying there and I bought a powdered gravy that people gave many good reviews to-so I bought some on line and they said it will arrive tomorrow! So I put off making that meal today , and am having later, a small piece of steak, a frozen hash brown, and I cooked some fresh cauliflower I bought at the village farmer's market.

I am about 25 miles from a big grocery store and the village market , does not have a lot of stuff, but it sure saves a longer trip.
Next week I will get to the big store.

I bought some nice Bosc pears at the little market too ( they are hard as a rock) but maybe they will ripen up soon.

I like that zucchini recipe from debodun! I often make it in a similar way but I add cooked ground beef to the stuffing sometimes.

I used to garden a lot and had a big box on my deck near my front door with a sign on it- TAKE SOME ----PLEASE!!!!!

It was filled with zucchini and yellow squash.

Chopped tomatoes and chopped zucchini innards (what I scooped out top make the trough), breadcrumbs seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix those together well and spoon back into the prepared zucchini. Bake at 375F for 40 minutes.

Sounds delicious!
 

Does anyone here believe in Karma..... I do... ..

I always find even if it takes a long time that people who create problems for me, or cause me upset or anxiety usually get theirs in the end...

When I was a child, my mother would always tell me not to take revenge on anyone because ''God could take care of it much better than me, and in ways I couldn't ''...and she was right.

I could site many examples.. and sometimes I didn't really think it would happen but God never let me down...

For example.. my father was a seriously dangerous bully and wife beater... he lived until he was over 80... but he died a very painful death.. I didn't wish it on him... but it happened..equally the evil witch he married very quickly after my mother died and who caused me to get a beating from him after inventing a story... also suffered a long lingering death...

..over the years I've noticed that people who have caused me issues all have had it back in Spades.. without me even doing a thing... so my mother was right all those years ago... leave it to God!

To answer your question HD, I do not believe in karma. Oh, sometimes coincidence makes it appear so, but IMO there's no such thing. Why do you ask?
 
When I win the lottery, I'm gonna get a whole set of Portmeirion dinnerware. And all the serving pieces. I've been in love with it for years and years and years.

Thank you all. She had more heart and soul and good sense than some people I know. She was nearly blind, arthritis was really bothering her too, so as much as I will miss her, I'm glad she is at peace and no longer hurting. If that's karma, I'm really good with it, thanks. She still lives and gets the zoomies in my memories.

You'll miss Poppy so much, thinking of YOU~

I was saying because today.. again.. I heard of someone who caused me problems in the past getting their comeuppance..in a way I couldn't have done it even if I tried....and I noticed when I think of all the people who have caused me harm.. something has happened to them .. more than co-incidentally.. that is like God's revenge....IMO.... just too often for it to be a co-incidence

yes it's still very collectable here..(y) it's very pretty if you like that sort of thing which I don't personally... but many do. Next time I go to Portmeirion I'll get you some...(y)
 
@hollydolly I don't want to collect it; I wanna use it. When I win the lottery, I'll have a staff to cook and clear up and stuff so will sit down to meals at a table set with the Botanic Garden pattern. Gonna use it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every. Single. Day. If DD doesn't want it after I become a crispy critter, she can unload it at a yard sale.

well..I think that even now me in my 60's.. I have decided nothing is to be kept for high days and holidays.. if I like it I'm going to use it.. or wear it.. whatever... after all as you say.. once you die the people remaining may not even like the stuff.. so it would be a waste not to use it..
 
well the rain has finally stopped...I think.... but it's 11pm.. pitch dark and everything is soaked through..

I've left the big dehumidifier on in the Barn all day and I'll leave it on overnight.... to keep any damp at bay...

DD and I are trying to decide where to have Christmas lunch. We always have it in the lead up to Christmas in a pub or restaurant...

this is one possibility...

Dear me. I just read about people who like to watch true crime shows. According to a psychologist, we need therapy. Okay. Baking is my therapy. And besides, I get paid to do it💰🤑💲instead of having to pay a therapist💸💸

It's almost 7am. Where is everybody? I stayed in bed until 6 because I could.

Gardening things to do today. It's gonna be our last day of warm weather and probably won't be 80 again before March or April.

I gotta quit reading cr@p on the web. The latest thing is that the colors I like best are all bad for my kitchen, sitting room and bedroom. No yellow kitchen? Nope. I forgot why, but I happen to like it, so there.

I Used to have a yellow kitchen it worked well because the kitchen is south west facing so the sun was always on it....
 
Just bought a new fridge to replace the one that's died. More expense - plus delivery plus disposing of the old one. It would be free to dispose of it myself, but I wasn't going to rupture myself trying to squeeze a heavy fridge into the boot of the car and then drive to the recycling centre.

Not a bad day here. Have some washing on the line and hopefully it will dry by late this afternoon.
