<![CDATA[Summer Recipes]]>Well, at lease where I live in southeast Texas, we are at 100’F with heat indexes that are higher nearly every day.

I was wondering if anyone would like to share or want lighter and cooler recipes during these dog’s days of summer.

From my perspective I say - Come on winter…

I actually like a good snowstorm, makes life slow down for a while. 2 years ago we were out of power for a couple days. It was fun playing board games by the light of an old kerosene lamp. I do have a couple generators, but the lamps were more fun

Even with the worst snow storm we were without power for about ten days. Not really a big deal, just need to keep the stove and fireplace going. Plenty of snow to melt for water, food in the freezer and snow to shovel and plow to keep warm. When it got dark out you went to bed and got up at sunrise. But you have to be prepared with backup systems, no electricity no water pump, no furnace blower and no charging your cellphone.

I have had the opportunity to live in many places around the globe, not quite sure if I found or will find the perfect place. There definitely are some places that I will not be returning to. At times I would like to have some of the convenience of the cities, but then I don’t have to deal with those issues either. You just need to find that sweet spot where everything is in balance.

I could see myself pulling my pit to the side of the road and sitting in my chair with my drink of choice and serving people great food.

Cutting wood from my property, processing meat for people, and maybe even having popup meals for people.

I’m just glad we dont get tornados, hurricanes and stuff like that. I can live with a few feet of snow and 30 below. Fall is by far my favorite, wish it was fall 8 months of the year.

We don’t really get much of a spring or fall this far north. Growing season is pretty short unless you can cover and I have seen Ice flows/bergs on Lake Superior in May. Now we don’t have a lot of traffic except for tourists and college kids, I can see the stars at night and don’t hear traffic. You will find a spot, just need to prioritize what is important and what you are willing to deal with or without.

Hopw that’s not asking too much.

Hope to as soon as the wife retires.

I am in no rush for winter, but our temps are only in the low 80’s with humidity in the low 60’s. It will be cold enough soon enough here and I will be cold smoking, hard water fishing and snow pushing during the cold spell.

I don’t know the exact recipe but it is elbow macaroni, tuna, mayo, diced onions, and peas. Hits the spot. Easy to make. I have made it by just winging it and adjusting the taste until it was like hers…lol! Prepare all ingredients and put in the fridge to chill. Serve cold.

Pickled Green Beans
2 lbs. trimmed fresh green beans
4 heads of dill or 2 tbsp of dill seeds
4 cloves of garlic minced
1/8 tsp pepper flakes per jar or 1 tsp cayenne pepper depending on the kind of bite you want, can be omitted
2 1/2 cups vinegar
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup canning salt
Add the pepper flakes or 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, along with the garlic and dill divided to each hot jar. Pack each jar with beans leaving 1/4" headspace. Add the vinegar, water and salt to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the liquid over the beans again leaving 1/4" headspace. Remove air bubbles, adjust caps and process the pints 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

I only know one place to get them, https://www.peppadewusa.com/

They are great in salads, but for nicer catering events, I stuff them with a herb goat cheese. Always a big crowd pleaser.
