I wont be on much today.. cos my grandboys are visiting.. we are taking them to the park and splash pool for a bit.. smile.. here are some more pics of my garden.. these are the tomatoes.. some are finally ripening today..

New Gardening Pics!! and Recipe!!

Bit of a busy day.. had to get a certificate made for a contest coming up... info on this later!  Also had to get some washing done since it didnt rain today.. and worked on my garden.. had to move some pots (they are all growing like crazy!!).  Picked some peppers today for dinner.  Gonna make some Italian Stirfry I call it.. smile.. recipe later.. Anyways.. I promised some pics so I took some.. these are the pepper pictures.  Will send the others in another post.. probably tomorrow.. 

 Recipe for my Italian Stirfry:  (oops had to correct!!)

Ingredients:

1 or 2 medium peppers more colors the better!

1 med to large onion

1 med yellow squash

1 med zucchini

some carrots sliced

broccoli (I usually use one head)

2 - 3 large tomatoes or 4 - 6 plum tomatoes (plum is best.. but you can use regular)

1 or two cloves of garlic

a couple of large mushrooms

black olives sliced (you dont have to use these)

You can also add any veggies you like.. smile.. 

one or two chicken breasts sliced into small pieces

slice all the veggies.. add some olive oil to a large pan and heat until hot, add some Italian Seasoning to taste (I usually add a teaspoon).. cook meat, peppers, onions and carrots.. then add tomatoes, squash, mushrooms, and broccoli.. cook thru.. add 1/4 to 1/2 cup Italian Salad Dressing and the black olives.. heat again to hot. put over spaghetti or angel hair pasta.. any questions? Or statements?? you can add them here.. smile. Have a nice day.. off to make dinner.. 

Friday was a busy day!!

Busy day.. had to mail an order and of course a prize for the winner on this blog (see previous post - http://cattalkbycatsmeow.blogspot.com/2012/07/contest.html).  Also had to hit the stores.. cos we have our grandboys visiting overnight Saturday to Sunday (smile)..

My freezer came today.. smile.. already putting veggies in it.. lol.. cos we picked alot today.. more zucchini and yellow squash.. also picked cucumbers.. Peppers almost ready to pick too.. wish my tomatoes would ripen.. ugh!

I got all my new dishclothes scanned and ready to put up for sale.. probably will do that tomorrow.. Going to watch the opening of the Summer Olympics.. and crochet of course! Starts in less than a half hour.. so see you then..

Been busy!!

Am a bit behind in everything.. trying to catch up with stuff around my house and shopping.. We got some new drapes and a freezer to store all the stuff my garden is producing.. smile.. We got it at Lowe's..

Dont have an opinion yet, but the price was right.. and it seemed to have mostly good reviews.. smile..

http://www.lowes.com/pd_75729-33112-LCM050LC_0__?productId=3042385&cm_mmc=SCE_shoppingcom-_-Shoppingcom-_-Shoppingcom-_-Holiday%205%20cu%20ft%20Chest%20Freezer%20(Color:%20White)

Today I am still working on doing stuff around the house.. hopefully by the weekend, I will be up to date.  Pictures coming of the garden and my new dishclothes.. starting on orders now too, so will have pictures of those also. 

Did you miss me?? Smile!

Sorry I didnt get here yesterday.. but I was really busy with catching up on emails and doing stuff around the house.. and I took a quick visit to visit a friend (and give her some of my summer squash... lol!!)

Yesterday I cut up a ton of summer squash and froze it.. and still have a bunch growing.. smile.. my garden is going to be overflowing this year!!  I will take some pictures later today when I am back outside watering (need to water 3 times per day right now).. and fertiziling..

Right now I am working on doing some major cleaning of my living room.. vacuuming furniture and pulling off and washing the furniture covers. Wanted to get it done.. as we got a few days of rain coming (promises.. promises.. grin!!)..

I like to leave my evenings for watching TV and crochteting.. I am working on finishing off a dishcloth.. then will be working on an order for cat collars.. smile.. I use this pattern..

http://poshpoochdesignsdogclothes.blogspot.com/2010/10/christmas-is-only-12-weeks-away.html

   THIS IS THE ONE THAT I LIKE BEST!!

Very LONG.. DAY!!

Sometimes days seem to just last too long.. guess this is one of those days.. I had alot of running around to do today.. pack and mail orders, shopping, car wash, get gas, etc.  Got it all done finally! Came home and did some gardening.  Had a bunch of zucchini and yellow squash to pick and some green beans.  Checked over my garden and found I had a bunch of green peppers and tomatoes now.. tiny.. but there.. cant wait!!

For dinner tonight.. I took some carrots, broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini and beans and stirfried them in Italian salad dressing - took one of the lite ones.. to cut back on the oil.. they came very flavorable.. had that along with some hot dogs (I know.. I know.. not the best kind of meat.. but I do like them once in a while)..

Well.. I will have some more stuff tomorrow.. items I have up for sale.. etc.  Ebay has a free week, so I will be putting alot of items up there.. smile.. talk tomorrow. Bye!!

Fried Zucchini Slices

Never did get on the computer today for here.. just a quick visit for my shops and to check for emails on Facebook.. busy day for me..

Hit the library and got The Black Swan.  I have wanted to see that movie for a while.. then stopped at my best friend's house for a quick visit.  When I got home, I quickly did some stuff around my house.. and then out the door again I went to drop a TV off at another friend's house, did some shopping, and home to make some baked breaded chicken breasts and some fried breaded zucchini (fresh from my garden).  I got 3 large zucchinis picked today.. and boy was it good.

This is how I make my breaded zucchini:

Take eggs (generally one or two), mix with a couple of tablespoons of water, some all purpose salt free seasoning.. and beat together.

Then your breading - unseasoned bread crumbs, a couple of tablespoons of italian seasoning, a tablespoon of all purpose salt free seasoning, and a teaspoon of garlic seasoning. I dont use salt in my food, for medical reasons, but you can replace with regular seasonings.
Cut your zucchini into thin slices (I generally cut them as thick as a double thick potato chip).  Dip in egg mixture both sides, then dip in bread crumbs.. cover all the slices.. line a plate with double thickness of paper towels for hot cooked slices to absorb the oil.

Take oil and heat to frying temperature (I generally use canola for this).  Put slices in hot oil and cook until brown (I generally turn 4 to 5 times).. put on paper towels to absorb the oil..

Tastes great with ranch salad dressing, ketchup, and blue cheese salad dressing. 

More tomorrow.. new dishclothes I made and I put up on Etsy.  I hope you liked my recipe..

Helping the Troops overseas.. an easy way!!

I want to tell you about another group who is helping out our troops overseas.. they have an easy way to help.. please check them out.. and do visit them. This is what they told me about themselves.. 


"Frugal Patriot  is an Affiliate off of Coupons For Military Familys Overseas, Operation Expiration. Also here is a little bit more information about the Frugal Patriot Website:

I also wanted to let you know that if you print out coupons online I have a free coupon website called Frugal Patriot. I offer coupons from coupons.com; Coupon Network; and Red Plum. The reason that I tell everyone about this site is to not only help them save money but it is also to help send coupon and care packages to troops and their families that are overseas. With every coupon that is printed I earn 3 cents to 5 cents. Once I reach a certain amount of money the companies send me a check back and I use those funds to ship out packages. Since Mrs. Donna and I are NON-PROFIT we rely heavily on postage donations. Sometimes these are not enough and we have to use our own personal funds to ship these boxes out. With this website it helps me earn money to ship the boxes instead of having to use my own personal funds. If you don’t mind please tell all your coupons friends and family about this site. The more people that print coupons the more coupon boxes and care packages I can send out to these families. The web address is http://www.frugalpatriot.com  with your help we can help more families. The number of families that we help out is growing more and more each day."

Want a freebie!!

Update on Gardening.. and still yet another pattern I found..

Just found a really cute pattern.. I have alot of leftover small amt of yarn (cottons) and some beads.. think these would  be nice scrunchies.. got the idea from this pattern.. http://nearmisc.theclaybox.com/?p=849 . Called a Cutie Fruity Toddler Bracelet or Hair Tie.

.
Yesterday was just too hot and humid for me.. worked in my garden fertilizing (yes, I use Miracle Grow.. only time I am organic is in the beginning... smile).. moved some pots around (got some catlitter boxes to put under some of the squash pots).. ate a quick dinner, took a nice cool shower.. and then just sat and crocheted in my room for the evening.. got a bunch of dishclothes done (need to take some pics tonight).. it just was too hot for my asthma..

Since it rained last night (finally).. it wasnt as bad today.. so I got a real good look at my plants this am.. my zucchini and yellow squash are coming up alot.. found flowers on my cucumbers and my pepper plants (both green and red).. and found some tomatoes on my cherry tomato plants.. YAY!!

Picked a salad for lunch.. romaine lettuce, some green beans, and a small zucchini I accidently broke off.. topped with cheese and some black olives.. smile.. nice lunch for me..

Just found this.. only good until tomorrow.. go and check it out!!

Good afternoon.. another sunny day in Buffalo.. it is 81 degrees right now.. cant complain about the weather today.. hot.. but not too hot.. my garden is growing strong.. smile.. I cant figure out why it is doing so well this year, compared to last year.. it is cos I am using fertilizer in my water every other day? Because the temperature has been much warmer than usual? Less pests? Because it has been drier? Dont know.. but I am NOT complaining.. anyways.. I just wanted to tell you about this really neat site that I get in my inbox... gives me all kinds of facts about gardening, recipes, and just nice reading..
