Nature; Super Moon

This is the "Super Moon".  The weather man said it's called that because of the position it's in in relation to earth and it will only be seen twice a year.  It was amazing sitting up there in the sky.  We see the moon practically every night, borrowing there are no clouds but tonight it appeared much larger.  I hope you had to chance to go out and see it in person.

Gardening; Golden Marigolds, Frankie's favorite

I know, I'm showing a lot of flowers.  I can't help it; I love flowers.  I love all flowers, all colors and shapes and sizes, but marigolds are my husband's favorite, so every year we have to get some yellow and orange marigolds.  The small ones in particular.  They look so small when you plant them but they spread out and fill in empty spaces and that's when they looked their best.

Food; STuffed Zucchini

The first cooked zucchini for this year was a stuffed zucchini.  Frankie and I love it and ate the whole thing for supper.  So, sorry, no leftovers.  I don't have a written recipe for it so I'll just tell you how I made it.

Stuffed Zucchini
Cut a zucchini in half the long way and cut out the center leaving a 1/4" wall of the zucchini.  Chop the scooped out zucchini and put it in a bowl.  Add about half a chopped onion, 1 egg, about 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (depending on how big the zucchini is), hand full of grating cheese, salt and pepper and drizzle with canola or extra virgin olive oil.  Mix it together and stuff it in the zucchini shells.  Drizzle a little more oil on top and top it with grated parmesan cheese.  Put them in a roasting pan and pour some water in the bottom, being careful not to put water on the zucchini, and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
You can add different cheeses if you want to.

Here come the zucchini.  Once they start, I'll get them every day.  Only so much you can use, so I guess I'll be giving some away.  I do have a lot of recipes for them though.  I'll have to dig them out.

Dessert: Strawberries and cream

Nothing fancy; just good old strawberries and cream.  It's cool, delicious and a healthy snack.  Enjoy the simple pleasures of summer foods.
