Remember the last posting where I said it would an interesting week because we had so few vegetables? Well, here is what our neighbor, Juan brought to us  yesterday. Click on the image to enlarge.

Garden Treats

WOW,eh? chard, lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant,  and peppers.  The Lord is so generous to us!

Yesterday I made Kolache, pronounced: Ko-latch-ee (a treat from former Czechoslovakia), using the jams I have made.

These will serve as breakfasts for us and for guests when they drop in.

Here are some good ideas from an internet site:

Not Just One, but Ten Ways to Save

  1. Bring your own pop to work instead of using the machine. √-don’t buy soda in machines, rarely at the market unless we have guests.
  2. Combine several errands and save it in gas.√- do this already!
  3. Give up a convenience item like bag salad, cleaning wipes, or snack packs.√-don’t buy these
  4. Eat leftovers for lunch.√- check! We do this!
  5. Hang a load of wash.√- we do this… no choice, we don’t have a dryer
  6. Rent a movie instead of going to the theater.√- we have our own DVD’s from gifts & I have also purchased some on special. We don’t go to the theater.
  7. Play with the kids at the park instead of going to an attraction that charges entrance fees.√- doesn’t apply
  8. Repair something instead of replacing it.√- John is very handy. Our dishwasher won’t drain now… we are hoping for a cheap solution.
  9. Make what you need instead of buying it (cookies, home decor, birthday cards or gifts).√- probably all but making are own gifts…
  10. Buy a used item instead of a new one.√-not buying at all!

Do you have any that would benefit us all?
