The Adventures of 'The Kidds'

I received a magazine in the mail earlier this month from Lowe’s that saved $10 on a $50 purchase. Since we had a large “mole hill” in the yard where the geo was put in, I knew we needed grass seed, so to spend the additional $$ to save the $10 I bought some plants for the garden. I got a few pepper plants, an acorn squash plant and some cilantro & basil. Its going to rain tomorrow so I decided I should plant some seeds and some of the plants I got today. So I planted 2 of the bell peppers that I got today. I also planted some sun flowers that Paul bought, that will make a nice wall of flowers behind the pool. I also planted 2 rows of snap peas in the edge of the garden. Now I just need to plant some of the tomatoes we started from seed, and then the squash and other peppers I haven’t planted yet. More updates to come..

Apparently, cooking cucumbers does not take away its crunchy goodness. I stuffed it with sauteed ground pork with red bell peppers, and garlic (ala stuffed green peppers), poured some diced tomatoes and tomato juice on top, some basil, oregano and red pepper flakes, and baked it at 350 for about 45 minutes, and voila, it turned out to be a pretty good dish.

It kind of has the texture of chayote squash when cooked. Which makes sense, I guess coz I think they are somewhat related.
