88 degrees in the house so not cooking much. Thankfully my body is adjusting
nicely to the heat so I don't feel like I'm dying.

I loosely followed this recipe:

https://iowagirleats.com/2016/04/27/...zucchini-rice/

I am making it now. Smells wonderful. Used brown rice instead of white and
larger proportions because it appears that my gardener didn't eat much yet
today. Not from my house anyway, and he was beavering away in the backyard
until after noon so I know he will be ravenous.

I used brown rice instead of white. Added half a bag of shredded carrots
leftover from something else, 3 ribs of chopped celery, a green bell pepper
that somehow got pierced by something so needed to be used up, some parsley,
and at the end will add grated yellow squash in addition to the zucchini.

My Dr. (shut your pie hole Steve) wants me to try avoiding dairy again so I
will take a portion out for myself before I add the butter and Parm. I do
have margarine and various vegan cheeses so I may add a bit of that to my
portion. I find that less is better with the vegan cheeses so if I decide to
do that it will be a very tiny amount.

Will also serve small red beans and TJ's chicken patties. I may not have the
chicken myself. Not much into chicken.

Will see how much rice I get for the end dish. May add green salad if it
looks like not enough.

Also have a case of peaches from TJs.

Good grief and YUM. Lucky gardener imo, Julie. Did you eat the
same?

I had some nice fresh peaches with vanilla yogurt spooned on top
last night. Will have more of the same tonight. After that, I'll
do blueberries with vanilla yogurt.. Need to use the blueberries
before they go bad.

If you peel the peaches you don't have to deal with the fuzz.

Peeling peaches is easy, just drop them in boiling water for a few
seconds then the skin slips off.

Would maybe work with fuzzy kiwifruit too? Both are messy to
peel. With kiwi, I just slice them thick, quarter them, then just
bite up to the peel, leaving peel leftovers on plate.

I haven't had one in ages, but don't you just cut them in half and
scoop out the edible part?

There's an easier way to skin kiwi, someone posted this on rfc years
ago and I've used it ever since.

They're equally yucky.

They're sour. So are peaches, apricots and often plums.I think they're
all picked unripe so they can lay around in the supermarket longer
before going off.

Eating a tree ripened fig is as close as it gets to eating a juicy
vagina:

Yes. Green fruit ships better.

And some fruits have only a short time when the are ready to eat. Wild
persimmons, a day or two early are like eating alum. A day or two later,
they are dissolved mush. At the exact time they are ready, they are
wonderful. Unfortunately, deer know the date and hour this happens

Bananas are shipped green as a goose turd and hard as a rock. In a few
days, they ripen and become edible. In a few more days (in a warm
climate), they dissolve.

Then there are some fruit that will NEVER ripen after picking, like
watermelon.

Everything is either yucky or poisonous to our delicate ballerina Julie
Bone ... except getting "beavered" by her gardener, in the back yard.

Popeye, yoose has et so many wimmens juicy fruit dat yoose can't
remember half dem hoes.

I bet 99% of de chilluns alive today is yoose chillun.

('Cept for the po ole white wimmens dat yoose don't like.)

I bet yoose has palm trees right next to yoose fig trees too. Do yoose
also grow avocados and other tropical fruit?

We knows dat yoose is the authority on *all* things in agronomy and
vaginas and mammary glands, so we all watches for yoose updates.

Which I see as a good thing. Ever since I was a kid, I've preferred
underripe fruit. Show me a sweet, perfectly ripened peach, and I'll
pass. Give me one of those tart grocery-store nectarines and I'm
in heaven.

I don't buy nectarines until the kids are going back to school. That
is the time (around here at least) that ripe nectarines are coming off
the trees. Unfortunately, we used to have many, many fruit ranches
around here. Now we have many, many subdivisions. (

We have the same problem in the Niagara Peninsula. It was a fruit belt
for years and every small town had at least one cannery. One by one
they shut down and all that prime fruit growing land has been turned
into housing. There used to be a Welch's bottling plant that produced
grape juice but that is gone too. A couple of large Concord grape
operations started a juice making/bottling plant, but the rest either
ripped out their grapes or converted to wine grape growing.

I call them house farms. Used to be able to get fresh corn there,
those days seem to be gone around here.

Still, my house was built on a farm. 65 years ago. Cheap land at
the time, middle of nowhere, they could build reasonably priced
houses. Suffice it to say that's no longer descriptive.

Well, everybody's different. I've got a sack full of rock-hard
nectarines in the fridge. Looking forward to having one this
afternoon.

I'm sure they were trucked in from somewhere warmer. Stone fruits
are an August thing here.

It depends which stone fruit (s) and variety. Here Bing cherries come
first in June, followed by apricots in July then peaches (peaches will
go all the way through Sept.) and then come nectarines in late August
and the begins apples..
I used to go to the ranches in sequence and buy a bushel of whatever
was in season. It's good that you appreciate the stuff that doesn't
have you standing over the kitchen sink with juice running down your
wrists, elbows and chin.

Same thing here. Back in the 70's and 80's, so many farms nearby
where you could go pick your own many vegetables and fruit. Long
distant now and all the old local fields are
now....subdivisions.

there's a lot of 'hidden' money in my city. By that I mean not
readily apparent, no names that stick out. Lot of wealthy retirees
and some drift from the famous ski resort a couple hours away. But
holy cow, the McMansions and gentlemen farmer McRanches! The
McMansions even go up the road to the mountaintop just behind me. I
can't imagine what kind of bucks you have to have to be able to afford
to have your huge home sweet home dug out of the rocks and have
utilities brought in. We're talking an hour's drive just for builders
to get to the site each day. I didn't see any hangars but I sure
would have a helicopter. That road is crazy in the winter and that's
before it is covered with skiers coming and going in a steady stream.

Thanks for that, Janet. I just watched it. I'll do that next time
I have some.

Let me help: You look left, then right, then left again and then you
go! Could also be right first, depending where in the world you are.
Does that help?

For lunch I had a taco from Taco Bell. My daughter had a kalua pig plate - it was quite good.

For dinner we had a mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, and American, food. I would have had some poi but it was gone by the time I found out about it.
