what a beautiful saturday this turned out to be. it was cold and rainy (again) this morning. but by noon the day dried out, the wind quit, and the sun shone.
for breakfast i made whole wheat buttermilk blueberry pancakes, bacon, and eggs. it was delicious and provided some fuel for all the yard work i had planned on doing.
justy and i did yard work all day. this morning he put a dry rub on a brisket and put it int the fridge. this evening he grilled it with bud light. the strong, skunky taste of bud light really taste good on meat slow cooked over a fire. use whatever beer you have on hand. i would rather drink coors light than bud light (yuck). we drank the coors light.
i picked lettuce from my garden. i have several pretty kinds planted. i also used a green onion and some cilantro from my garden. i made a very old fashioned salad dressing. Grandma Tudy gave this recipe to me. its a recipe from her mother, Ma Gress. Grandma Tudy said Ma Gress never bought a premade salad dressing in her life....she always made this. She also would slice cucumbers and put them in this dressing.
Ma Gress' homemade salad dressing:
about 1/2 cup half and half
about 3 Tbsp sugar
about 1 Tbsp vinegar
mix all together. it becomes somewhat thick like heavy whipping cream. pour over salad and toss. really really good and tangy.
i posted a pic of isabelle playing cars in the dirt and mud. at one point i looked over and saw her standing in the puddle with muddy hands. she very much looked like she was enjoying herself.
~bon appetite~
