Last of the harvest

This is a butternut squash that I had never planted before and had never eaten. So it took over my garden with vine and bloom, then the squash. What a beautiful sight.
Now I had to figure out a way to eat them. I tried the butter and garlic, then the sauteed with onions, a little hot pepper, bell pepper, garlic and celery, I filled in with sausage meat. To say the least that was pretty good, then I barked upon a cake, after the second attempt I have finally come up with a recipe that is pretty good, well good. Now I can make this recipe with the pears and that ought to be even better


In Exodus 23: 16
And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou has sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in in thy labours out of the field.

Bounty of fruit

The pears are now ready and plenty of them,I will make a few preserves as usual for the family. Most of my family like them on a Sunday morning when we all gather around with a hot biscuit and butter, I cook them down with lots of sugar and lots of lemon. The young ones like to get the lemon out and I do to. Now these may have to be cooked with Splenda since that is the popular thing to do now day. Pears, like a lots of things we eat does not have a lots of flavor but it is good for you and something to experment with. Maybe we could do with it like we have potatoes figure out some new ways to cook them. I have made tarts, pies, a cobbler and jellies. Even put in a baked chicken, hemmmm wasn't bad. Now that we have a lots of different kinds of spices might be a lots of fun to try even more things.

Genesis1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree, yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

This morning I think I have picked my last gallon of blueberries at least I hope so. This hot sun is gradually sapping the juice out of them. They have really made good this year. I have about 20 trees or more and I have picked until I can see blue at night. I have made two pies and they were SO good. I think I will make a cake next. I once painted a picture of like this, I didn't put any green ones and I don't remember just who bought it. It takes a long time to put those leaves and berries on and I just now noticed that there is a lots of leaves turned with the underside out. The variation of the leaves makes it more catchy, I don't know if I will paint another or not.

In Genesis 1:12 we read, And the earth brought forth grass, and herbs yielding seed after his kind, and the trees yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: God saw that it was good
