I made salad to go with takeout from our local diner - we both got catfish dinners. Phoebert had slaw, fried okra & onion rings as his sides and I had tater tots and fried okra.

"She did find the collards eventually and harvested them all to make some stuff to can." How is she canning the collards? I tried canning greens in the past but they need so much time in the pressure canner that they end up as mush. Phoebe…

I was going to cook (well - at least heat up leftovers I pulled from the freezer) but after late afternoon work in the yard (Phoebert mowed 1/3 of our property) and garden (I weeded most of the row of radishes - oh my aching back) we opted…

If you're depending on me for Southern recipes then you're out of luck - I'm the damn Yankee in the family. The few truly Southern things I've learned to cook are usually the result of Internet research.

Sometimes I cook dried baby lima beans in the oven with diced onion, carrot & bacon and ham or chicken broth - makes for a thick and almost creamy side dish. Forget where I found that recipe. Usually I cook frozen baby lima beans and after…

Obviously I live under a rock - we had dinner at Bangkok Haus in Helen and wondered why it was so empty and the Mexican restaurant next door was so busy. ;-) We started with Basil Rolls (like spring rolls). Phoebert had Red Curry with Shri…

Helen is a tourist trap - but a great base of operations for hiking (especially to waterfalls). We're staying in town this time but used to rent a cabin outside town and only venture among the hoards of tourists for dinner. Don't hike as m…

We weren't planning on anything this year so we got a late start - just planted this past weekend. And Phoebert's "just a few things" turned into almost as much as last year plus a few more things. Every year we try to balance having enoug…

I'm managing to keep ahead of the weeds in the strawberries (I think I got rid of most of the crabgrass last year). They are yielding more than we can eat most evenings so tonight was the first batch of jam (strawberry vanilla). There shou…

I'm enjoying the strawberries now that I've weeded around them - and maybe this weekend I'll harvest enough to make a small batch of jam. Depending on how many we eat immediately it sometimes takes a couple days to accumulate the quart I n…
