Crabapples everywhere!

Okay I am exploring what I can do with crabapples. They are everywhere under our front flowering crab.  Like never before.  We have swept up buckets of these things and there are more everyday. I always heard when I was a kid that they were poisonous and not to eat them but KJ and I nibbled on some Sunday and I think we are both still around plus I realized I see squirrels eating them sometimes. Jam?

So many tomatoes and cucumbers.....that they are coming out the ears.......soo......

Chunky salsa that I made.....Mike ate all the blue chips so we fried up some tostado shells, let them dry out and crumbled them up......it was our lunch on Saturday.....


Then......we still had more tomatoes and cucumbers so I made tomatoe, cucumber, watermelon, avocado salad for Sunday lunch.  This next recipe is from the Pottery Barn Website. They have chef demonstrations of some luscious looking old staples.....next up Creamy Potatoe Salad.

The Iris are blooming in my yard!

Mike gets to use his new toy! Again.....
