He said, "Maybe if we work on July 4 we can have off Saturday AND Sunday."
I paused only briefly to think about that. Don't you think something is wrong if he has to work on a national holiday in order to have two days off that he is supposed to have off anyway?
My gripe session about that is over but I would like to have caused a few fireworks with the powers that be over there at the warehouse!
Anyway, yesterday was a sloshy, mushy, rainy day here at the ole homestead. So, Toby and I spent the day in the kitchen.
Yesterday we had put all of that bushel of yellow squash in the freezer. Lots of slicing, blanching, chilling, and bagging going on over here.
This was only the first batch...
Then, today, we (meaning I) began work on the bushel of zucchini. I sliced up some zucchini and dipped it into buttermilk and tossed it into a cornmeal mixture and laid the slices out on a wax paper/cookie sheet. You can see a tutorial HERE.
I also made Lemon Zucchini Bread using a recipe by NancyCreative. It is absolutely divine!
I tried another zucchini bread recipe that my friend Joann G gave me. It is delicious and she says it freezes well. You can see that recipe HERE.
I pinned a couple more recipes on my Recipes to Try Pinterest Board that I'm going to give a try.
On another note, Bridgette and family have gone on V-cation and Lillie and Lydia sported their 'zucchinis' (really it was a tankini but guess what was a more familiar term...) today and went to the hotel pool!
Finally, when Mike got home from work at about eight-thirty, he told me to look out front to see what was going on and this is what I saw:
Yep, there was a roadblock set up right in front of our house!
Stephen and Bonnie fired off a couple of fireworks up on the hill - a warm-up for Saturday, I guess.
Here is what Toby did all day:
Hope your day was exciting and festive.
