Nothing like a good rib eye cooked to perfection on the grill!

Some days a good tummy filling country meal is in order.
Today was one of those days.
Sauerkraut and wieners, country fried potatoes straight from the garden,
cucumbers and sliced onions also straight from the garden, corn bread
and pinto beans cooked to perfection.
Yum!

I couldn’t decide whether this should be a garden post or a kitchen post, since the potatoes were dug specifically for potato soup (requested by grandson Zeke.)
This is one hill of potatoes from this year’s crop….nearly 4 pounds. I’m quite pleased with the yield.

Potato soup it is!!!

About five years ago I bought a fancy schmancy Kitchen Aid dishwasher that had all the bells and whistles on it that anyone could ever want. We had sold some timber, so I felt it was practically free at the time, and went all out!

For the past two years I have been washing dishes by hand because that glittery object was just an attractive nuisance!

Something malfunctioned …. of course…. just after the warranty expired!

I finally broke down and bought a new one. Very simple. And it works!!!! Beautifully!!

I have quite an extensive collection of cookbooks and recipes. some of them dating back to the 50s, but there is always room for one more.

A good Twitter friend and I were discussing recipes and he mentioned a book he had recently purchased at Cracker Barrell. I looked it up on Amazon and found a used one at a fraction of the cost of a new one. It is in perfect condition and I am very pleased with it. I can’t wait to try some of the down-to-earth, yummy sounding recipes.
