@Pooky1, happy Sunday and what a beautiful, cool start to the month of August for you all up in Rhode Island, just perfect weather.

Hope all is well with @Winifred, missing her posts.

Nice cool, dry weather up here in Northen MI after a nite of thunderstorms. Some tree leaves already beginning to turn so early fall, no doubt.

Looking forward to harvest season. Anyone canning or freezing? How are supplies for jars/lids/rings holding up near you?

I have some Granny Smith apples I should use up and have a taste for apple fritters. Came across some recipes for apple fritter quick bread! One commenter said she made french toast with it. OMG!

I'm looking forward to getting the most I can from the farmer's markets and enjoying things that I won't be able to get soon--like robust, delicious tomatoes, flavorful watermelon, sweet corn... I really miss the garden goodies when September ends.

I agree with you. I miss seeing Winifred on here to. Winifred we all miss you and hope your ok. We had dinner with Anna today.she made pasta, meatballs, chicken salad, string bean and potato salad, fried Zucini, oven roasted potatoes, and more that I don't remember. All was very good. I saw a recipe for peach pound cake that looks really good. I will be trying it out this week.

Lots of good eating here! For us tonite there will be bbq ribs on the grill, sweet corn & coleslaw. Delicious cooling watermelon. Yesterday DH & his friend were at Costco. They each bought a watermelon. It was all DH could do to haul it into the house & downstairs to our spare refrigerator! It was delicious & enough left for a few more days. But I will chop some up for fruit salad. Have some blueberries, strawberries & nectarines to use up.

Thinking about @Winifred also. Everyone have a wonderful, relaxing evening & week ahead!

Good evening everyone. Great summer day. About 80 with no humidity. I made cabbage and beans great northern beans and chickpeas and a peach pound cake. Both were very good. Maria has been working all week and she hasn't been feeling well. She will be going to a nerosergeon in a couple weeks. She's probably

will be having brain surgery. She has fluid not draining and its causing Really bad headaches, eye problems, balance issues and so much more. So I have been doing most of the cooking. I don't mind doing it. Hope you all have a great week.

@Pooky1,
Thinking positive thoughts for Maria to be feeling better. Hopefully the doctors can return her to good health.

How nice to hear about the good foods you are preparing!

Take good care!

Lunch will be on the light side today:

2 Hard Boiled Eggs with everything bagel seasoning

Heirloom tomato slices

Some mixed berries

Caramel-Pumpkin Spice cold brew iced latte

Dried Unsweetened Coconut Chips

For dinner, I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I've made up a recipe for Keto Chili and will make some Keto Cornbread Muffins to go with it. 🤞

8/5 ETA.- well, the chili and cornbread didn't happen last night. DH & I did an errand yesterday afternoon that took longer than anticipated. By the time we got home it was 4:45. It would have been 6:00 or after before everything would be ready so I opted to pull an enhanced chef's salad together and postpone the chili and cornbread until tonight.

Next week's menu:

Panzanella (2013 thread in Recipes)

Baked Chicken Mexican Style (Recipes, by Beebee2 on 12/14/2010)

Chicken Malay Rice (Mary Berry's)

Cacio e Pepe e Zucca

Baked Potato filled with Broccoli, Cheese

BTW, I tried a new recipe last week, Meatball Salad with Whipped Ricotta, making my own ricotta for it. The cheese was fine, but the overall salad was a letdown. Not a keeper.

I later finished off the ricotta, used some of the meatballs, pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella in a Meatball Hoagy--a much better meal.

@Keybra

Wow, 3 years is a long break! Hope all is well.

Thank you for asking about my mom; she's 87 now, still living in her home, and gets up every morning with the determination to do whatever she can. I do believe she is fast reaching the end stage of dementia, and my brothers and I have our Plan B in place for when her situation worsens.

The poster friend you mentioned, who we were so concerned about, has been MIA for nearly 2 years. I suspect Plan B was enforced.
