Over the years, I’ve gone on several campaigns to clean out our longer term freezer but I’ve never been as successful as this time and it’s partly due to a new philosophy for freezer use. This is about as empty as it will get as all of the old items are now out and I was amazed at the stuff that I discovered over the last few months - it’s organized by shelf such as pork and chicken on a shelf or beef and precooked items on a shelf.
These next two pics are from the web but they look just like Teddy Bear & Bodie's normal look.
On Friday Morning we again ate breakfast in the main dining room as our final meal at the Greenbrier and again we ordered from the menu (link above). This is a shot about 2/3 of the room, the drapes and a chandelier.
Since we are now harvesting plenty of cherry tomatoes, I’m on the lookout for ways to use them and this recipe for Marinated Tomatoes from the Two Peas And Their Pod blog seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Since Cindy just got home from her knee replacement surgery, I thought I would treat her to salmon as she is a fish lover and I served the marinated tomatoes as bruschetta.
On Thursday, my back was hurting me bad (from the bed I think) so I skipped breakfast, the croquet game, and exterior history tour done by the others. Here are some pics from Bev and Steve.
We began the next day with breakfast in the Greenbrier's very elegant main dining room which had a buffet.
Since my buddy Dave has announced that he is giving up most of his blogging, it got me to thinking about mine. I believe my blog is as they were meant to be - my journal - where I can go back and find recipes, pics, our travels and so on, thus I have no intention of quitting right now or I would miss all of that documentation, plus it gives me something to do. I have recently been posting every three days but I don’t have many folks stopping by to read quite a few of them and so I had an epiphany. I can keep writing up my blogs to get the documentation I need but I don’t have to publish all of them but rather just the ones that I think you will find interesting and hopefully about more than just food.
