A Recipe

My tomatoes have been pitiful this year.
But I got enough to make a batch of sauce and it is yummy.

And I just happen to have found a great hand made pottery pasta bowl
at a church sale for 5.00 It is a hard thing to take a picture of but it is
a beautiful blue.

and I made another zucchini bread with raisins.

And tonight after work and after a lot of expensive fixes to my car.
I met up with my friend at a group antique shop. There was one booth was having
a half price off everything. I found this recipe box priced 2.00 so half off would be 1.00!
It is filled with a life time of hand written recipes. I am going to take some time
and go thought it I am sure I will find lots of great gems, it almost makes
up for the stresses of getting a car fixed.(almost:(
I will share any I try.
Have a happy and safe holiday weekend.

Your sauce and bread look yummy and that bowl is beautiful! Great find. I love the handwritten recipes. Someone took alot of time to do that and you are now holding a piece of their life...and cooking it too! My car is on life support..like my computer..and my riding mower is having an issue also. I need a second job to pay for it all..I hate mechanical things! I guess my plan to ride the mower to work, mow some lawns and make extra bucks to fix the car is out.

My tomatoes are not ripening either, just getting a couple at a time. Hoping the ones on the vine will ripen soon so I can make at least one pot of fresh sauce.

Sorry to read about your car wows. Always a bummer, but antique browsing is the perfect remedy. At least it always works for me. Wishing you sunnier days and a happy holiday weekend!

Start a pot of coffee and I'll be right over or some zucchini bread and coffee. We'll chat about hooking and I'll bring my present project for show-n-tell.

Have a great weekend.

That recipe box with recipes is truly a treasure! I will be looking forward to hearing about what you cook.

Our tomatoes weren't very good this year, either. We didn't have enough to make any sauce at all.
