I think I shall start by telling you about the dinner I cooked yesterday, after I went to the dentist. I made a delicious meal of chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans with onions and bacon for flavor, peas, and to top it off, a gravy. I was very good, I must say. It took about an hour and a half to make, but I did it, and no one was hungry afterwards, except the Littles who wanted grapes. They weren't really hungry, they just wanted some!

Ok... about our over-weeded garden... we have been getting plenty of peppers to last years, (not really), and zucchini. We got a few tomatoes too, and lots of green beans. Eric and Hannah picked some 8inch long okra yesterday.

We got a 14 1/2inch long x 12inch round zucchini from our garden two weeks ago. I didn't know zucchini could get that long! It was the biggest I ever saw! We have been getting bigger and bigger zucchini each year...

Peppers... hmmm... we have a ton of banana peppers! The biggest ones are about 1-2 inches round, and about 5inches long. Those are some big peppers, I know. Mom wants to make pepperonchini with them, and can whatever else with them. I think that is what I will be doing for the next two or three weeks. I'll post about the experience. I hope all goes well, better than Jocelyn's first attempt to make goat-milk cheese!

I know this is short, but that's ok. If you want to read a longer post, go to my Homeschool blog, The Milk and Honey Tea-House, I posted about my dental appointments there.

Ok... I should link people, since this post is so short! Here's some: Mom's, Seeking Rest in the Homestead, Amanda's, My Learning Experience, Jocelyn's, Amusing Reflections of a Country Girl. My younger brother, Eric, has a blog over at Homeschoolblogger.com, but not here. Here is his link: On the Road to Manhood.

Alright, I think that's enough! Enjoy the rest of the day, my friends! May GOD BLESS and PROTECT YOU and YOURS!
