enjoyed time on the front porch with my coffee
washed and snapped the beans I picked
added those to the ones I’d picked earlier in the week and put them on to cook
made a pea salad
sliced cucumbers in vinegar water with some onion to soak until supper

added potatoes to the green beans
worked on removing a bunch of wadded up threads in the machine :(
crocheted a dish cloth with nylon netting in the center for scrubbing
ate supper of green beans and potaoes, pea salad, cucumbers, 3 cherry tomatoes and ham steak. (Way too much starch but that is how it worked out this time)
watched tv and then to bed

Hope the AC people show up in the morning as promised. I have things I want to do and places to go.
Take care and God Bless
Monday-6:00 AM
It is going to be a hot week. Heat advisory. Temp already at 74. The heat just drains my energy. So does the cold in the winter. *sigh Apparently I’m “drained” often.

What a busy weekend!!! Remember when we were that busy all weekend and then had to go to work on Monday??!!
What is your recipe for pea salad?
middle age pearl GypsyWynd ⋅ July 18, 2016
Pea Salad
Frozen Peas (thawed in fridge)
Onions
Bacon
Mayo (real)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Pepper and salt to taste if needed
I didn't write down any of the quantities of anything cause I kinda guesstimate it and taste test it. I've also used boiled eggs and you can add tomatoes. Actually you can add whatever you would like.

Thanks! That sounds very tasty. As if anything with bacon, cheese, and mayo could be bad! LOL

Oh I forgot to list Paprika, but I won't use it again or if I do, just a little.

I assume the paprika is just for color on top? (I wouldn't bother with it, either)

Yes, I'm sure you would. I hope you get your AC fixed soon!

You sure did accomplish a lot! Sounds as if you have an abundance of produce these days. :)
