Mus'cadines

August 22 007

My mus'ca-dines are ripe and in abundance, one of the best flavored fruits around. The are all around in the trees but I have them on a wire so they will be easy to pick. There is a lots of ways to prepare them, my mother was creative and would make Jelly, marmalade, cobblers and tarts. She could make cobbers with that good fresh,soft cow butter and it was one of the best. The jelly and marmalade with a hot biscuit was so good for breakfast then she would grind the hulls and make tarts. That was especially good after we came in from school. You can fry or bake them, you didn't have to spice them up, just add the sugar.

Deuteronomy 28: 2 says; And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

Market in Birmingham

August 14: 007
Today is the day for the Senior version lunch en at the Church, I sure hope to go, I am having a little maintenance work on my car so time will tell if I get to go.

My peppers are really fine and it is time for me to utilize them if my time will permit. While visiting over in Alabama my granddaughter wonted me to go with her to the Farmer's Market in Birmingham, that was right up my ally. The next morning by daylight my daughter and I was up to meet her and her husband at their house, at the market we saw everything from goat cheese to pepper marmalade, of course she bought some of both. I especially liked the jar the marmalade that was kind of hot. It and the cheese went together good. It was the right season for the Alabama peaches and they were a beautiful site, so tempting. We did get some of the things that wasn't available for in the stores around where we would normally shop for food.

Can't you just smell this beautiful flower, every time I go out in my back yard and close to that bush I meet that aroma.

I am working on another recipe, the pears are plentiful, big, nice but are full of water. It is also hot and the deers have picked the ones down where you can reach, when some one comes along to help me reach them, then I will peel and cook.

Long time ago I head my mother say something about pear chuntey, now I don't remember if she ever made it or not, I am sure she did and made up her own recipe, that is the way things were done when I was a child. I leaned how to cook from my mother-in-law, if she had a recipe, I don't know. I had four sisters older than me so I did not get cooking lessons from my mother I was married before I learned to cook much.

If any one has a receipt for pear chuntey I would like for you to share it with me.

This is my second little one year old and I am getting use to the water. What in the world is water any way, I know it was coming out of this little thingy on the ground and I am feeling of it so I will know what it is. If it would just keep on coming out like it did I could surely wet my grandmas. Any way I will just dump the water out and watch it run around on the ground, then maybe it will come out like it did when I was holding it up. ????????????
