Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[blueriver]

Yep! The current storm stretches from Wichita Falls to Fort Worth. It's moving pretty slowly and looks to be solid coverage along the north-to-southwest line. The nice thing is the winds calm down after the initial front moves over and then it's just a steady rainfall. This storm is not mis-behaving.

I sure hope you stay dry enough to get your tractor unstuck. Good luck with that today.

Thanks Jim ... I am on the very NE tip of that .. Currently getting a light shower.. Been a long, long, loooong time since I've been stuck, hard to do in a drought !!!

I'm sure glad I mowed the lawn last night! Been a light and sound show, and some wind, I don't think anything damaging, just some welcome rain.

Bird; Here is a recipe that calls for the prepared stuffing. Would be simple enough, I'm just not that into prepackaged things that sit on a shelf. I have another that is a casserole, but can't place my hands on that one, quickly. I'll post it, when I find it. In the meantime:

Stuffed Squash

6 small yellow squash
1 TBS butter
1 medium onion; minced
1 cup, prepared bread stuffing
salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese

Wash, cut off stems and place squash in stew pan. Add small amount of water and steam until tender. Remove immediately from water. Cut oval slice from side of each squash. With spoon, scoop out the insides. Mix insides with butter, onion, stuffing, salt and pepper. Stuff squash; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 325*-350* until throroughly heated. Serves 6-8

When I get in motion, I tend to stay in motion. When I rest, I tend to stay at rest.

I can relate, so well, bindian!

blueriver: Hate that you got stuck, but glad you had enough moisture in the ground to get stuck!

This light rain is nice, but I sure need a gully washer to fill the stock tank. That or I might be taking Western up on the offer to raid jinman's hoses and well! :shocked:

That stuffed squash sounds like it might taste good, but that's quite a bit of work. The squash recipe our neighbor used just had lots of squash chopped up in the stuffing mix.

And last night, I didn't take the NWS forecast of 30% and 40% seriously, but woke this morning to a very welcome light show and heavy rain with almost no wind. Glad I did all my mowing Friday.

I didn't think of that recipe as work!

You can try this one. Mine is at the bottom of a stack somewhere, because I think it just tastes like stuffing, and I would rather taste the squash. But that is me.

Yep, we've used Allrecipes.com for a number of recipes; pretty good website.

Looks like 1.4" in the gauge! So, for the last 4 days, that makes 2"! Wahooo!

And, it was a little cool going out in shorts and tank top to tend livestock. Jeans and T-shirt might have been a better choice, but at least it was invigorating!

Still plan to get busy in a bit, and weekeat down at the gate, while cooler. That much, I can still do after the rain!

Here is a recipe for when you have all of that zucchini! Even easy enough for Bird!

Zucchini Squash

2 pounds zucchini squash, sliced
2 medium onions, sliced thin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
Butter

In heavy frying pan, alternate layers of squash and onions, until all are used. Add seasonings and dot with butter. Cover with water and cook on medium heat about 45 minutes, or until done. Water usually cooks away by the time the squash is done. Serves 4-6
