I can make a really good chef's salad with romaine lettus onions sliced avocados 2 or better yet 3 sliced boiled eggs lots of baccon grated cheese and ranch dressing on top. It's a salad but it's a meal.
@cherokeepatti It's been a while for me too. It's an involved process. I've usually got baccon cooked and in a bag. I put it on a huge baking sheet and bake it in the oven. It's way easier than frying it and I can process a lot at once. It still takes me some time to put a salad like that together. I like to throw a few jalapenos on there and some calantro to. I'm so south western it's funny I don't live in a cliff dwelling.
@MarineBob I haven’t had Jello in a good long while. I don’t like artificial food dyes or artificial sweeteners and Jello puts both in it. I can make it with beef gelatin and add fruit juice and it’s really good. I also made gummies in little molds and they taste good for a snack, a good way to get some collagen.
@4meAndyou Good thing there are so many different types of salads I can make. With this heat I don’t wanna heat up the kitchen and make the a/c work harder than it has to.
@Horace That sounds good. One time about 40 years ago I planted Alaskan sugar snap peas. They were so good even to eat raw ,very sweet. I planted them late January up against a fence and they grew like crazy and I started harvesting them in late April-May. But as soon as we had a very warm spell they stopped producing. I even gave some of them away, there were handfuls on those vines.
@TexChik The high this afternoon is going to reach 110 F. Or even higher. I asked Ray what would be good for dinner. He said sandwiches. I told him that we also have those leftover salads to go with it and he said “good enough”. The boy is going to be on campus and getting a free dinner at 4:30 for freshman orientation. It’s so hot that they delayed orientation, it was supposed to start at 10 this morning but it’s too hot. They will eat and do whatever, mostly inside a/c buildings on campus.
@cherokeepatti my son moves into his dorm in the morning . We are staging at the farm and will drive in from here. Luckily there is a lot of cold water melon around here!
@TexChik Mine is living at home, he got an exemption. He said he wants to live here to save money on housing & food but also to be able to check in on us and help us if we need something. He got the Oklahoma Promise thing which will cover his tuition and something else to help with books or whatever else expenses he has. He doesn’t have to worry about money. He says he doesn’t want his grandpa spending too much money for his education. He is majoring in electrical engineers and it’s interesting that all of his buddies he made friends with at that rural private school are also choosing engineering as a major. I think they’ll be hanging out together in their free time, which is a good thing.
@Lilnonames It’s the parakeets that begs for greens here. I used to get turnip greens for them but their favorite now is Romaine lettuce. Has a lot of vitamin C in it.
