The kumquats are ripening and I'm in a quandary. Still have several jars
of kumquat marmalade and several two cup vac bags of kumquat puree left from last year when we had a bumper crop. I know I can't eat all the fruit on two trees, even with Miz Anne's help but don't really need more puree and marmalade. I'm seriously thinking of taking the things to one or both of the farmer's markets we have here nowadays. Looks like a couple of bushels worth, probably about a half bushel will ripen at a time. Now I've got to look up the going price of tree ripened fruit. Oh, Woe is me! Broccoli is about ready to pick, probably just enough right now to have for a side dish but more will be ready to pick, blanch, and freeze in another week. The cabbages are heading up nicely so I might try some of Bob Baron's kraut in a jar. Still getting some cherry tomatoes from the lone surviving bush. The sweet chiles are still doing well so we're picking six or eight each day. Okra is pretty much done as is the eggplant. Sweet peas are up and climbing and the green beans are producing just enough to have some for dinner about every third day. I'm bored, just sitting around watching the contractor doing repairs to this old house. Replacing storm damaged T-111 siding with exterior cement board, going to paint inside and out, and repair some storm damaged doors (Hurricane Ike pushed some locked doors open, springing the hinges). I think I will leave replacing the windows with more energy efficient ones to whomever buys this place next year. All arrangements are made for our fiftieth wedding anniversary celebratory dinner with all the descendants around us. Nice seafood restaurant in Huffman, Texas, we lived there for a few years and our daughter graduated high school there eons ago. It's also close to where all the descendants are now living. I'm wondering if I should make and take a nice cake, Naw! Way to much trouble. It's a cool, sunny day here in SW Louisiana. Miss Tilly Dawg is napping on the couch here in my office and all is right with our world. George |

No restaurants in that area are open on that date. Hmm! Seems some people still celebrate Christmas. How nice. |
