Mostly About Tea

Mid afternoon yesterday . . . I guess we had a few things going . . . Or something 🤪 . . . 

Found this new-to-me tea at the store yesterday and now it's my favorite for now!  I go in spurts.  Last week or so its been Bengal Spice.  Before that, this Chai tea in the nicest nylon baggies - the best boughten Chai that I have found ( and I don't it at the bent and dent) . . . Oh, and a lovely black tea ( most any kind or your favorite brand, I am using all kinds of brands that I bought home from the bent and dent when I didn't really like black tea 🤪) with a drop of lavender and a bit of creamer . . . 

What is your kind is tea these days . . .  or nights . . . I almost always brew a cup at bedtime.

Perfect Job for Little Girls

Recently, I came upon a nice way to dry small squash rounds.  I do not own a dehydrater. I haven't had very good success with drying zucchini in the oven.  So we are trying this method today.  The girls voiced great delight when I stated what we were going to do.  They love stringing Cheerios even if they don't get to eat them for awhile. This technique calls for you to string a large or medium sized button in between each  squash round to keep them from sticking together as they are drying.

Zucchini Pizzas

We've been eating these almost every day now . . . The little girls have taken to prepare them . . . Makes me happy!

It is the simplest thing.  And it uses the largest of zucchini!  . . . and it uses all of it!!!  .   . No waste of fiber whatsoever! 🙂

You just slice then about 1/4" think and place them on a cookie sheet or bar plan. Spoon some of your favorite pizza sauce on each circle and then a pepperoni or two or three and top with a bit of shredded cheese. Pop them in the oven at 425 degrees for between half and hour to forty-five minutes depending on your oven and how thick your slices really are 😉.

As some of us love these and others do not, we usually serve this as a side dish unless it's lunch time and everyone at home that day agrees. 

Fresh Herbs and Such

I think I almost enjoy the scent of fresh basil as much as I do a rose!

Trying to preserve herbs for winter . . . 

Today, I am also trying salted herbs . . .
