Day 207, Year 6 A Little Bit of Heaven
Date: Thursday, May 19, 2011
Weather: Another Beautiful, Sunny Day; 76 degrees F
Location: Lightkeepers Marina, Little River, South Carolina
Heaven has a lot of different definitions, but one of them must include strawberries and blueberries straight from the field, new potatoes, peas straight off the vine, corn on the cob and beautiful green peppers from Florida, and fried green tomatoes. Early today we went to a nearby farm to pick strawberries. But when we got there, the array of fresh fruits and vegetables was overwhelming. I think we bought a little of everything and then spent the rest of the day cooking. Tonight we will have fried green tomatoes, stuffed green peppers, corn on the cob, and new potatoes with peas from Joe’s garden. Then for dessert we will have strawberries and ice cream over the last of a fabulous chocolate cake my sister made for our arrival. Tomorrow night, we’ll eat more of the same but add freshly baked shortcake for the strawberries. Patsy worked all afternoon making strawberry freezer jam and tomorrow morning we’ll have blueberry pancakes. What a gastronomic delight. We will then spend the weekend exercising to lose some of the weight that we will gain eating all of this delicious food. There’s not much else to report from today, but we’ll make sure to let you know how delicious everything tasted in tomorrow’s log.
