Sara, that is something I have never heard of. I have made green tomato relish to eat with pinto beans. |

Marilyn I think the recipe is in Ball Blue Book. Green tomato relish is good. I have make relish out of whatever I have on hand and use brine for bread & butter pickles. Can't go wrong with that brine. |

Sara, the last time I made green tomato relish my husband's best friend brought me five 50# feed sacks full of green tomatoes. He had no idea he had so many tomatoes and I was very overwhelmed. But after a few days it was done, minus the ones I wrapped and put in safe places to ripen over time. So everyone was happy! |

Today I pressured canned 4 pints Azufrado - a thin skin white bean from Mexico. All jars sealed which is a very good thing. Always have beans leftover from canning so I cooked them with garlic, green onions, thyme, and sage from my garden with olive oil. When the beans were almost done I added a cup of small elbow macaroni and canned tomatoes. Had for lunch and enough leftover for tomorrow. |

I boiled 2 dozens eggs this afternoon while making supper. Have them peeled and ready to go when I get the pickling juice made. I will pop them in a big gallon jar and let them sit until we are ready to have them with our dinner Sunday. That is if I can keep JT out of them beforehand. |

You're making me hungry for pickled eggs. May have to order a jar of pickled beets when I order my groceries tomorrow. |

Eye of round roast on sale this week so one is cooking away in my oven with veggies and red wine. Bobbie will pick up a slice for sandwich on her way to work tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll roast the whole chicken on sale for 79 cents a lb with rosemary and lemons. |

Sara, I have learned so much from you about healthy, economical meals planning! I am going to try the beans, tomatoes and pasta...that sounds so good! Has anyone ever made green tomato mincemeat? When I was visiting an older lady one time, her whole house smelled absolutely divine! I asked her what it was and she said she had been making and canning green tomato mincement all day. If it tasted half as good as it smelled, I would love to try it. |

Thanks Debbie for the sweet words.
I haven't made green tomato mincemeat but the recipe in Ball Blue Book looks tasty. A lot of chopping so a food processor would come in handy.

One of my favorite things to do while I'm resting is to look up recipes. I've look through most of my cookbooks and found a neat recipes for green tomato mincemeat in my 1944 "The Victory Cook Book" wartime edition. It only calls for 6 green tomatoes and makes 1 qt. If anyone is interested in the recipe I will post it in Recipes. I usually don't post recipes but this one is fairly short. When tomatoes are plentiful and green tomatoes show up at Kelly's fruit/veg stand I may give it a try. |

Thank you, Sara! That would be a good way to try it without having to invest a lot of time and ingredients in case you didn't like it. |

I've done green tomato mincemeat. I have my grandma's recipe. I haven't made it in a while. Not even sure where it is now. |

Roasted a whole chicken today with six lemons, rosemary sprigs, and MJ Eastern Blend in her Idea Book-Cook Book-Life Book. Turned out soooo good. Will use part of the breast to make curry and Annie will get the dark meat.
If you have MJ's Idea Book and have not checked out her blends on pg 129-131 do so they are very good. |

My Granda used to make mincemeat with green tomatoes too. I never tasted it but my Mom told me about how it used to be made on the farm. Grandma's recipe also included suet or butter and a small amount of flour or fine breadcrumbs to help bind the mix together.
Safa, I love MJ's Ideas book and have also used manu patterns and recipes from it. I think I have read it cover to cover about 6 times and always find something new and interesting. It is a classic! |

Connie, last night I took some roses up to Julie to say thanks for mowing out back. She invited us to eat a taco with them. And we did. She and Hadlee had made tea cakes, frosted them and added sprinkles. Yum. Julie looked nice and supper was late, it was seven. They usually eat at 5:30. She had gone to what she calls a wake, and we call visitation, the evening before a funeral. Turns out our town historian had passed away. What ever will we do now. She was 91, but could get more done than a whole committee.

I love sugar cookies - what is the recipe called? My favoorite is my grandmother's Sour Cream Sugar Cookies. They are a soft cookie and are great with no frosting. |

I have 2 smaller hams to fix for tomorrow instead of 1 big one. I decided to fix them today because I won't have time to get them finished tomorrow after church. I decided to put one in the crockpot and let it cook slowly this afternoon and I just pulled the other one out of the oven. When Brad gets home I will have him slice both (since he is the chief meat carver) and then tomorrow morning layer the ham in my crockpot and cover with the leftover glaze/meat juices and let them slowly warm while we are at church. I'm trying out a potato casserole recipe that I haven't tried yet but my daughter said was really good. I will get it fixed and refrigerate it until it goes in the oven tomorrow. I also have a roll recipe that goes in the fridge and is baked the next day....thought rolls right out of the oven would be yummy! |

Debbie that sounds good! My Daughter in law is doing the ham, broccoli and rolls. She told me I could do the candied sweet potatoes, green beans with new potatoes, corn on the cob,and dessert. This time of the year we have fruit. So I will slice and sweeten, slightly, some strawberries. Then I plan to make a freezer of ice cream. I may pull a bag of peaches from the freezer too.( I wanted to make peach ice cream but Hadlee suggested vanilla...then we can put fruit over the ice cream or have just vanilla. I hope everyone finds something they like. Happy Easter everyone! |

Marilyn, that all sounds delicious! My daughter is making homemade ice cream, too. She opted for vanilla as well. |

I remembered to get the ice cream salt but forgot the ice. I can get that at the convenience store in the morning or just use ice cubes. |

Linda it is on page 184, just says Sugar cookies. I have been using that recipe since the 1970's. Never fails me!! I use 2 cups Powdered Sugar and and 1 tablespoon of white Karo Syrup and add whole milk just a tad at a time till you can stir it. Makes it glaze over and dry real pretty.
