Pat Pat Patty Pan lol

So tonight we had chicken leg quarters seasoned and cooked on the grill, I love when hubby cooks outside, #1 reason is that I dont have to, lol, and #2 is that it doesnt heat up the house so bad. For our side dishes we had a broccoli and cauliflower mix, and breaded and fried pattypan squash slices. This has got to be our kids favorite kind of squash, where Keith and I like the yellow summer squash, the kids tear up the pattypans... If you havent tried any I suggest you do they are really good. I would really like to try a few other types of squash as well, maybe next year when we do our own garden again we can try out some different types.

Keith went out this morning and picked a boat load (well almost) of wild (muskadine (sp)) grapes so we have been busy seperating them... Cant wait to have some homemade jelly like my mom used to make yummy! Going to have to keep an eye on Deana however, her little hands are broke out from handling the grapes... gave her some benadryl and it helped a bit. I hope she was just sensitive to the outter husk and acid and not allergic to the whole thing.

Beans, Beans, the magical fruit....

So apparently a pot of my pinto beans are now "to die for"! lol Anytime we have
a family gathering now it is my beans everyone wants. I'm so used to it being my
spaghetti everyone wanted me to make. Anyway, tonight we are going to have a family
gathering with the inlaws outside. We are going to be having brisket, my beans and I'm
not sure what else. Sounds yummy.
