Blueberries

 

 A cloudy and cooler morning and very welcome it is. Yesterday the temperature fell quickly in the afternoon and by suppertime we had thunder and lightning, even a bit of rain. I wish it had been more but I'm sure my flowers appreciated the coolness.  We don't often get thunderstorms  here but having grown up on the prairies where storms are so very severe yesterday's was not impressive to DH and myself. However, M and his Dad were watching the light show while it lasted.

We ordered more Blueberries and they were delivered last evening. Each box contains 5 lbs.  Various members of the family want some and we'll freeze the rest.


 Because it was cool yesterday I made a big pot of Beef Stew.  We had it for supper and there's lots left. Don't you just love it when there are leftovers and  you don't have to figure out what to make?  I should make a nice dessert though. One that uses Blueberries!!

On the subject of desserts  #2 son ( the one who likes to bake in his spare time) made a Walnut Bundt cake and shared  some.  Normally I'm not much of a fan of walnuts but this cake was so good.
I have such a sweet tooth and find any and all sweets delicious!

 

That's about all for today. I hope you have a good day. Thanks for coming by.

  5. The graphic is funny, that would be great though. We do love a good pot of stew, and it always seems to be even better the next day! I would cook up a pan of cornbread to go with it. :)) Have a great day.

  6. A fun fact: Native Americans used blueberry poultices to get rid of the poison from a wound caused by poisoned arrows.
    So just use it to make a delicious cake.

  17. Delicious blueberries! We should go pick blueberries in a few days. In the winter they make great blueberry kissel and blueberry pie. Our husbands don't really want to pick them, but they're helping me.

  20. Good food at your house! One of my summer conundrums is that i have so many veggies coming in I scarcely have time to cook! Today i cit up onions to dry, picked dill to dry the fronds, made black cherry jam, and picked squash and green beans to deal with tomorrow. Larry dug the rest of the potatoes so those need put away. There are more beans to be picked and more beets to pull, and the basil needs to be cut and dried. So dinner was tomato and lunch meat sandwiches, with a side of sliced cucumbers! Maybe tomorrow i can actually cook.

  21. Leckerer Kuchen ist immer toll, und ich kann mir vorstellen, dass du auch einen Blaubeerkuchen backen wirst :-))) Rindereintopf klingt absolut fantastisch - es hat hier den ganzen Tag geregnet... das wäre perfekt, nur die Geschäfte haben heute nicht geöffnet, da es Sonntag ist... wenn es kühl bleibt, hole ich die Zutaten morgen ab!!! Heute gibt es Kartoffeln, Spinat und Eier :-))) Hugs

    1. Delicious cake is always great, and I imagine you'll bake a blueberry cake too :-))) Beef stew sounds absolutely fantastic - it's been raining here all day... that would be perfect, only the shops aren't open today since it's Sunday... if it stays cool, I'll pick up the ingredients tomorrow!!! Today we're having potatoes, spinach, and eggs.
