Kathy Freston's suggestion to *Drive in your car and blast your favorite songs* brought a smile to my face. Not because I like to blast my favorite songs, because I do not. The smile is because my husband Fred loves to blast his favorite songs which hurts my ears and results in a less than fun discussion.
We belong to a CSA farm this year. Since Fred is retired he is the one who goes to the farm weekly to pick up our share. The share consists of items that are already picked and ready in the farm stand, and other items that he needs to pick himself from the fields such as herbs, flowers and some vegetables. Since I was home this week on our assigned pick up day I thought it would be fun to go with him (along with our son and his wife). We enjoyed seeing the fun the children were having picking flowers with their families.
This week the pick your own vegetable was okra. The picking of okra led to a funny result. Okra is one vegetable that I have refused to eat for 60 years. Knowing this Fred was happy that he would not have to pick it in the heat. However, my daughter-in-law thought it should be picked because okra is a good vegetable. The result was that we would pick it, but she would take it home with her. However, as they were leaving to go home, she told us that they would be back this weekend with samples of okra prepared three different ways for us to taste - that should be fun!
If you liked the link to Cake Wrecks you should watch Cake Boss on TLC. It follows cake artist Buddy Valastro (the cake boss) and his family of Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken. The cakes are amazing, but what goes into creating them is quite entertaining. On a recent show they dropped a completed cake down the stairs and had to recreate it in 90 minutes. On another episode they made a wedding cake that involved getting live doves for the finished product. It is on Mondays at 10 PM.
