TADD 9/22

 Hi Everyone!

 

Today is TADD with Rain. Her theme today is Harvest Dinner. Well I don't really have a harvest dinner but I do have some harvest items from my garden. LOL 

I got a great harvest of beans this year. Beans are easy to grow. They don't like much water and then when they start to dry out very little or no water. Not pictured here I also got about 4lbs of pinto beans.

clicking on the photo give you better detail. You just have to click on photo to see them all.

Beans drying out. When they are hard and you can hear the beans rattling inside they are ready to harvest.	However, it started raining so I picked these early.
All of those beans ended up on a rack to dry. You can see how big the beans are inside the hulls.	These are lima beans.
I think these are speckled kidney beans but I can't remember right now. LOL	Black beans. I got over 2lbs  from one plant.
Red Kidney beans	I just love the color of these beans. Garcia Bolita beans.
I planted these potatoes late in hopes of a long Indian summer. So far so good.	The last of the lettuce harvest.
The garden is close until next year. Mr. M. and I will put a hoop on top of the big garden box then tarp it off so the rain doesn't spoil the soil inside.	I am happy with this canning session today. Pork Stew and all of the veggies came from my garden. Onions, potatoes, carrots, and celery. It's Quite satisfying.
My daughter is always talking about Frito chili pie. Well I could find a recipe for it so I put together what I though would be good.	Ground beer, rice, beans, home canned salsa and Fritos. Oh and lots of grated cheese. Uhhh yeahhh it was good. My daughter laughed at me and said, "All you need is a good chili and Fritos in a bowl."
Even in the small cassarole dish there was lots left over. So I used it for the filling of Enchiladas the next day.	Ohhh I can't tell you how good these are. Topped with a bit of sour cream.
I had a few carrots and a zucchini from the garden so I made sweet bread and cake. I also had one banana and one apple that I added to the mix.	The bread is in the freezer and the cake is, well all gone. LOL
It is so moist.	And since this is Thursday Art Dinner Date I will show you a new art display I have in my house. The bouquet has a lot of detail like spiders and snakes and creepy little things. :)

 

That's it for now. 

Please join me tomorrow for Friday Face OFF.

Any kind of face in any medium.
