Eating Of Our Labors

Yesterday was a day of Thanksgiving for a very bountiful harvest. We trimmed and cleaned
the flat Italian beans, cooked them. Wow! were they great-tasting. We also cooked white potatoes from our garden. Fresh garden tomatoes were on yesterday's menu, too. The day before; on Saturday, I had prepared the bottle-neck yellow squash with white onions and a large
orange bell pepper. I used olive oil for a quick sauteeing.

I will chop some vegetables and chunks of chicken breast with shrimp and some catfish nuggets for a quick meal served with couscous. The meat and vegetables will be thoroughly marinated with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, red crushed pepper, and fresh parsley.

Real soon, we will have okra, hot peppers, butterbeans and green bell peppers to harvest. Our plum tree did not do so well this year. If we're here next year, we plan to have a bumper crop of plums and I would love to try my hand at growing blueberries, too. They seem a cinch to grow.
