Applesauce and more kraut were put up. Horseradish and beets are still in the ground but otherwise the garden is all put to bed.
You know you have reached your egg casserole and quiche limits when Bill says “No offense but this taste like what we had last week.” Then your dog that has ate just as many eggs as you walks away from her dish after giving a look that clearly says “mom there better be steak served tomorrow night.” This actually was a good quiche.
Over the weekend I decided to make homemade hash browns. This really isn’t too hard. Simply bake the potatoes, cool, peel, grate and freeze on parchment paper for a few hours then place in freezer bags. Twenty potatoes made 6-2 cup meals. Note: Don’t be lazy and try to use your food processor it turns to paste.
Finally the most exciting news, Mika is getting herself a new puppy. She is patiently waiting by the phone to get a call to pick up her new playmate.
We introduced two new members to the chicken flock. We are now getting between 9-12 eggs a day. Found this great egg recipe site, felt a little dumb when I stumbled on it. The Dutch Oven Pancake was a little odd with its puffiness but with some warm strawberries and syrup it was a real treat. Banana Foster Cheese Pie aka Banana Cheesecake was another first for me. I have never fried bananas and I am weird about what banana recipes I will eat but it ended up being a make again recipe. If you decide to make this recipe you really will need a second graham cracker crust.
