we had a WONDERFUL time in Minnesota.....Loved hanging out with family

non-stop for 4 days.....made it home last night....we are

excited to get back to things at the farm....

while we were away.....Our granddaughter Gabby turned 12, Neil Armstrong passed away,

there was a shooting at the Empire State Building, Lance Armstrong was stripped of his medals,

the Republican Convention cancels the first night because Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac is about

to do some damage to the Gulf area....

Mom is here until tomorrow so we used her help doing some more canning....

more Chili.....

and then some more Spaghetti....



79 lbs of tomatoes turned into 14 quart jars of each......

picked some veggies from the garden for salad tonight....



Mom wanted French Dressing...so we whipped some up....

French Dressing :

1 cup canola oil

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic salt

put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together...I used a stick blender.

and then for dinner we tried a meal that was served at the Family Reunion....

Chicken Parmesan :

chicken breast

spaghetti sauce

bread crumbs

egg

mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

dip the chicken breast in the egg ... put in the crumb mixture and coat both sides.....place in
13 x 9 glass cook pan....spoon spaghetti sauce over each breast ....sprinkle the mozza cheese
first and then a little Parmesan cheese on top.....cook at 350 degrees for 40 minutes



glad to be back in the swing of things.....

Pleasant Dreams!!!
