I LOVE stuffed Zucchini.
Have a great Holiday.
Not a great day. There are guys digging up my back yard. Having the septic tank sucked out. Was in Walmart yesterday. Uh Oh, the candy corn is there. So, bought a big bag. I just love that stuff. Will eat it till it's gone and that won't take too long. Yum! Got the vacuuming done, dishes done and laundry in the washer. Now, will work on my genealogy today.
Be careful what you ask for, Leslie. You might soon find your porch over-flowing with super squashies. LOL
Ginni, my Dad made a simular dish, altho he never put Bacon in it. I bet that is goo-ood. Dad seasoned his with basil and thyme, then sprinkled parmasion cheese on before he served it. As kids we didn't care for it much. He also cut the big ones lengthwise, scooped out the seeds, stuffed them with sausage and baked 'em. That is yummy. Early in the season he'd make Garden omlets with diced, seeded tomatoes, green onions, chopped zucchini and cheese. My DH loves those.
Today I think I'll make zucchini marmlade--that was one of Mom's favorite uses for the excess squash. She gave it as Christmas gifts every year. It looks so purty in the jars!! This recipe is simular to hers, but she added chopped marachino cherries. She always used apricot jello. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1923,138185-239203,00.html

Marie and Ginny ,congratulation to both of you on the upcoming new grandbabies. Maire I know your excited ,we can read it in your post. Ginny I hope you can get someone to take you to the Bday party .
EAT!! SLEEP !! QUILT!!
Well the problems with QCA finally got to the east coast. Couldn't get on-site all morning and it's as slow as molasses now.
Just wanted to thank y'all for the wonderful comments on my becoming a GG. My feet are finally on the ground but every once in awhile I float for a few seconds. : )

CC,makes me hungry just reading about the uses for the squash. Yummy..Barbara
Oh, basil and thyme sound really good. I've got basil growing in a large pot on my deck that I often cut some off of of use frequently, but I don't have any reguular thyme, just ornamental groundcover kind and that doesn't work. The zucchinii marmalade sounds wonderful. think I'll have to look into that . As far as veggie omlets, I often have those for my supper, what I put in it depends on what fresh goodies are sitting on the counter or in the frig-if they have gotten that far. LOL Ginny

Marie,
I was so frustrated this morning. I just tried to get on site this weekend after giving up last Monday, and found that new threads had been opened. I hoped that would solve the problem, but this morning - - - - NOTHING! Explorer diagnosed problems with QCA site. I tried off and on for a while, but finally gave up at 9:30. Couldn't get any sewing done because phone was ringing with Rich's cattle trucking calls which I answer here and relay to him in the truck. It is easier to just ride with him and check the answering machine remotely, but he thought I would like to stay home today. I have a remote portable phone, but it is usually in the wrong room! I need to tie it to me!!!! Instead of trying to get something done, I just sit and read or check the computer while waiting for the phone to ring. This is a Holiday for others, but not for us!
I just turned the computer back on, checked emails and saw new posts from some so figured the site was working again - slowly, but working. Explorer is having problems - I keep losing it also. This world has become too electronic and we have all grabbed on to the convenience - - I guess we are overloading everything past what it was designed for.
CONGRATULATIONS, great-grandma-to-be. We had our 4th GG child in July. Haven't seen him yet as they live 120 miles away in PA. Hope to be able to hug him in a few weeks. Still haven't seen 10 month old GG son in Germany. He will probably be 4 yrs old when we do, unless they get a chance for a leave that includes enough time for our grandson to get up here in the North. Her family is in Georgia. They got a leave a few months ago and went to Georgia, but we couldn't get there and they couldn't get here. At least we were in the same country with him for a while. We saw him on Skype on Christmas Day - so long ago.
Hope this will post now! Now off to getting something for us to eat, then sew!

We had a fantastic weekend and it will take me a couple weeks to recover but that is fantastic - no fights - tears - just tons of fun!
Looks like a great weekend Thea!!
I just took the last 2 jars of Marmalade out of the canner. I lucked out and actually found Mom's recipe, written in her hand, so I used it this time instead of the internet version. (Just the smell of it simmering brought her back ...). There was a note on the recipe card that she got it from our baby-sitter's Mom (now long dead) so that brought back more "mem-bories". The kids are happy taste testers. Maybe someday they'll be the ones making it and thinking of Mom...
Ironically my Brother called while I was doing the prep work. I told him what I was up to, and he replied that he hadn't thought of that jam in years. I'll have to save him a jar. He commented on another treat Mom made (Pickled zucchini) and low and behold, that recipe was stashed on the same page of the old album. I sent it off to him (ain't e-mail grand?) with hopes he'll be ambitious enough to make a batch. LOL
Hubby just called. He dropped off the walker caddy for Bossman's Mum today. he said Bossman teared up over it. I can't imagine that big tough guy tearing up over anything, but hubby don' lie, so he must have. Weird...

Marie, glad to see your surgery went well. Congrats to DS on his achievement. And best of all the news about the new baby. Now you can cancel the trip to CC's to take over her little Sprout. LOL
Very nice Runner Karen. Was it a quilt as you go?
Oh, Thea, loved the pictures and I know you loved the moments as they passed by and the memories that those moments made. You will cherish those moments with your kids/grands for ever more. Special times. Sure looked like nothing but family fun.
How did your Mom handle everyone at once? Looked like she was just making a samich without a problem with her little helper.
Marge (AKA Dimples): Sukochi's - have you gotten any answers back from the test yet? I may have missed your post on that.

If that test would be the CT, then yes. I have some small scarring on both lungs. Recheck in a year. That was the answer when I talked to the nurse. Didn't even get to talk to the Dr. We keep saying we will change D'.s but how do you know how to choose a Dr.? We have been with this Dr. for 8 years, but he has totally changed in that time. We have recommendations but again who do you listen too? One nurse at the ER told us of a good GP in Jasper but Jim says it is too far to go. For crying out loud. That is where we go to the ER and to Church. So why all of a sudden is it too far? Then another nurse in the ER said there are two great doctors in Ellijay. She said one got so busy he had to take on a PA and the other is kinda flaky. If those are recommendations I will ask someone else! My DSIL said to get a good Dr we would really need to come down to the real world in Roswell, nearer to Atlanta. She doesn't think much of these country doctors. after all, why would a Doctor that is any good not want to work in of the big practices and get the big bucks. If Jim won't go 17 miles, he sure won't go 60.
