| Prized pick of the day!!! |
I have no worries for it now. It proved that it could. Now I have great hopes that I will get more than two cucumbers..
Is that selfish of me? Maybe...
Kitchen Magick!!!
I have had a glorious day in the kitchen yesterday!
Let me start by saying, the Carrot Confiture is superb...
I did change it up a bit... instead of adding almonds, I added pistachios. and instead of cooking for only the ten or fifteen minutes, I went a full 25 min... I also did not puree it, I made it chunky...
This made all the difference in the world...

| Smeared on zucchini bread... |
That isn't all of my deeds in the kitchen..
I made Zucchini Bread...
This is no ordinary Zucchini Bread...
This recipe is amazing...
I stumbled across this recipe when I wanted to bake banana bread one year, I didn't have bananas, but I had Zucchini, and I had tomato soup.... LOL...
You're probably thinking, What? Tomato soup? I thought the same thing, but it goes to show you that the intrigue is there huh?
So this recipe is from a Campbell's soup recipe card... I did verify it on-line as well...

The recipe seems long, but it isn't...
Not only I created these delicious morsels, but since I had so many tomatoes, I made my home made salsa,
and I made bruschetta...
Which that online recipe/website or is it a ring, well, any how, it is amazing
Then last but not the least...
Just when the thought of those little friends, the ones that I thought I driven away at the time I had to be so drastic with pesticides back in January,
Hello My Friend! Glad to see you back!
Look,....
