Pictures of the Week

Good thing I went down yonder to the garden when I got home from delivering some tomatoes a while ago and picked these green green beans. And yellow green beans. And purple green beans. 

And these jalapeno peppers.

Because now it's pouring down rain on this GMC- again.

And it's  raining on this big Mack truck too.

Again.

Throw some "Finish" dishwasher soap thing a ma jiggy pods at them, wash and rinse all at once!  Do those purple beans turn green when you cook them? Sure makes it easy to pick vs the green ones! lol    .....Hippy

I used to wash my service truck in the rain. Isuzu NPR with a 16' box...  My wife would get pissed off, but, my truck was clean and i didnt need to rinse, so I would wash an extra time around it...just sayin'... 🍻

They do. I told Zina we should only plant the yellow and purple ones because they're so much easier to pick.

We've got several gallon freezer bags in the freezer now for stew this fall. I'm going to cook some of these today. She doesn't like the way I cook them though. I cook them in chicken broth instead of water with a piece of cured seasoning meat. Sometimes I'll boil potatoes with them.

She "steams" them, that's what she calls it anyway. I call it "barely cooked at all".  They're still crispy, crunchy, and mostly tasteless when they're done. I cook them like my mom used to cook them. 😁

We were talking about how big a K100 Kenworth seemed compared to a Transtar or an F model Mack the other day. I don't have a size comparison between those models but I did see this picture today. This was at an antique truck show in Lincolnton, N.C.  It was in my memories for today, an H-63 Mack and a K100.

Genuine Rebel cooking!!!! I do not like the "steamed" ones either.. especially when they are still whole, you can not even cut them..

I have a bird's nest, but no fan.

I have 4 car ports.. yes and nests as well. We raise birds around here... I made little platforms under our awnings at the kitchen windows. For years now, many families of birds were born in them. They come back every year. We dont have a mosquito issue here at the bird sanctuary..🍻👍
