Harvest Vegetable Week Grocery List
Ya'll my friend Tammy in Star City gave me all those vegetables in the picture. I went down to celebrate my dad's 73rd birthday, and to get my hair cut. Tammy has "Tammy's Tangles". Let me tell you, this girl knows how to cut some hair. If anyone knows how to cut my fine, thin hair, and make it look cute; then you have a winner winner chicken dinner. She gave me 5 to 6 sacks full of fresh veggies out of her garden. So this week, we're cooking up harvest fall veggies. We have fresh butter beans, turnips and greens, bell peppers, jalapeno and red chili peppers, and eggplants. I have to say, I've come up with some pretty scrumptious eats here that I think you will enjoy.
I've got to tell you a little about Tammy. We go way back, we went to junior and senior high together, choir, cheerleaders, and we were best friends. We were a mess. A funny story about us, we were driving over to the river, thought we could drive on sand; and decided to drive on the sand down by the river. (do you remember the stupid things you did when you were that age?) We both get so tickled at some of the things we did. Anyways, back to the story. You can guess it, we got stuck. I got out started digging like a dog, to get the sand away from the tires. Nope that didn't work. So we started walking and worrying about what are parent's were going to do. We finally saw a car and flagged it down. It was a local guy and girl from our hometown Star City, and they did give us a ride back. We were about 30 minutes from home. I think the guy had a souped up sports car. Let me tell ya'll our heads were stuck to the back seat of the car; he was going so fast. So we started worrying if we would even make it home. We made it, oh what a relief. So we went down to my friend Rusty's, and his step-dad had a winch on his truck. Rusty and Randell took us back to get my car out. They were like were ya'll drinking or what, everybody knows you can't drive in sand. No Tammy and I weren't drinking, we were just stupid enough to think we could drive on sand. I could tell so many stories about us, but we do have daughters, so I best not tell everything; they just might be reading this and get ideas.
