We spent this week either in the garden or in the kitchen. Some days, both. The tomatoes have been steady coming in, a bushel at a time. We didn't waste a single one. Every day we had a bushel of tomatoes on the stove for soup, and at the end of the day we would can it up.
Toward the end of the week, we had one more bushel come in. We cooked it up and made a case for the Halls. They keep giving us jars, so we fill them up and send them back.
We also have squash still coming in so fresh from the vine to the plate is a thing.
And we don't know if you've seen the meme of "Your grandmother looking down on you while you fry chicken in an air fryer" but we don't have that problem. Crisco and cast iron is how we roll at The Acre.
We did use our new Big Spring Mill BBQ seasoned flour. It had a hint of BBQ, but not overpowering the chicken. If you can find it, we recommend you give it a go.
Last week we shared our new cast iron from the antique store, this week we put em to use. Cornbread for dinner one night then peach cobbler for dessert one night.
To re-enforce our theory that "The Outlaw" chose the wrong side, we had fried oysters for dinner Sunday night. He loves fried oysters, even though he has no idea what he's doing when he cooks them.
And Cupcake cut a few sunflowers out of the garden to spruce up The Acre.
Lastly this week, while we had the DT's out running we found some ripe fox grapes.
Our grapes are still green, so we will have to enjoy wild grapes for another month.
We ended the week with a nap, and cobbler.
