Our days don't usually start quite so interesting.... pouring rain, thunder, lightening, and the sun shining bright at the same time!
Kids want watermelon for breakfast...and they "sculpt" it, making connecting tunnels in their slices...
Will stop to eat a Southern Style Meal...meatloaf patties, kale greens, green beans, fried okra and green tomatoes, and sliced fresh tomatoes...
A trip to the garden brings much work back.....tomatoes- green ones- red ones- little ones- big ones- a yellow pear shaped ones!... banana peppers, bell peppers, green beans, purple hull cow peas, corn, cukes..... Got 6 quarts of stewed tomatoes and 3 bags of spicey tomato sauce for the freezer....
I wanted to show you those Purple Hull Cowpeas...also called Pink Eyed Peas....ain't they purdy? ;-) They taste like black eyed peas, just only prettier!
Cut corn for the freezer...yummy Golden Bantam!
Thanks to a couple of helpers, breaking beans, we have a whole pot!...
And after my work is through, I settle down with a nice hot cup of white tea...ahhh sitting down is a good thing!

Oh my goodness I'm drooling over that meal!!!
Donna,
You should try making hot pepper jelly. If I had peppers, I would be making some this year! SureJell's website has a recipe. I hear it's really good with cream cheese on crackers.
Christina,
Thank you for the compliment!
It doesn't get better than okra and fried green tomatoes!
Brandy,
Glad you mentioned that site! They have some wonderful sounding recipes- including the one you mentioned (I don't have red peppers yet and I didn't grow jalepenos) :(
Did you see the Herbed Garlic Jelly? Sounds wonderful!
Those purple hull peas that I showed the other day--- I started to boil the pods and make jelly. They are a beautiful purple color, it stains your hands to shell them...would have made a lovely jelly...I just didn't have enough time with the tomatoes to do. But I might if I get more! :-)
so glad for you!
