What a Month....

I am batting ZERO today...have tried several times to do this blog and keep ending up with ZILCH ! So, this is the third attempt, third time is charm, I am told.
My poor old truck remains in the shop.....cannot find parts anymore to repair it, and so I had to make another choice. My darling son-in-law wanted to sell his truck, he has another one, so I bought it. It is a 2005 Ford 150 XLT with all the bells and whistles, but I am so old, and so dumb, I am having to imprint the book on my hands to drive it...LOL....
Daughter Karen driving it into my driveway....

I am stil trying to learn to cook with all the quail eggs....I have turned into a pickled egg myself, ones with beet juice to make them pink, ones with pickle spices...
Also, nothing better than a batter for fried zucchini with beat up quail eggs, a little milk, rolled in seasoned bread crumbs and pan fried...see what I mean ?

My lettuce is still growing in the pot....Benny keeps asking, "What weeds are we eating tonight ? "...LOLPhotobucket

Or we are eating some radish sprouts in the salad or in burritos....
