Pa Lloyd was out of town all last week so Maggie and I were alone! Maggie is terrified of storms so we were in the basement when the storm hit. My neighbor Erin knocked on my back door to check on us. When I looked out my front porch windows I couldn’t see the yard. We have one large tree on our property and two large branches had broken off and covered my yard, broke a hand rail on the front steps, and bent the eve troughs along the porch roof. What a mess! On Friday afternoon when they were done with work my daughter Mary, Scott and two grandsons, Nik and Justin came to the rescue, with a chain saw and four hours of hard work the four of them had the mess cleaned up. I was so grateful for my family’s help! I ordered Jake’s pizza and had made a dessert that day, so at least they were fed. Here is the dessert recipe I made for them. My great granddaughter Lydia cried when her serving was gone!
Layered Chocolate Dessert: Crust: 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 cup flour chopped pecans if desired. Mix all together and press in greased 9x13 inch pan, bake 20 minutes until golden at the edges, cool.

This is truly my kind of weather. I even had a little burst of energy last week, Pa Lloyd helped me do some deep cleaning in the kitchen. I have way too much sitting out, I don’t notice how much cleaning needs to be done until I start digging in. Then I am shocked!! Still have to do the curtains and the inside of the cupboards. The most time consuming room to clean in the house. We still have tomatoes so here is another salad recipe using that delicious summer veggie!
BLT Pasta Salad 10 slices bacon, fried crisp, crumbled save 1 Tablespoon of the bacon fat 12 oz. tri colored pasta, cooked according to directions, drained rinsed in cold water 1/3 cup chopped red onion 1/2 avocado, chopped 1 1/2 cups diced tomato 1 cup cubed or shredded mild cheddar cheese 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 3/4 cup ranch dressing, 1 Tablespoon bacon grease, pour over salad ingredients and toss, chill until serving. Have a great week! |
