Finally Friday...

It was 33 degrees F. when I woke up on Friday! As I wandered off to work, I still didn’t see any evidence of frost here, though. But, it sounded a death knell on summer.

At lunch, I heated up the two-cup container of potato soup and ate it with gusto. Yumo!

After work, I went out and pulled out the rest of the tomatoes. I pulled out all the none-heading cabbage plants (there are three that look like they still might work). I harvested the immature green peppers (I’ll have to think about that) and pulled up the plants as well.

I also left the sugar snap peas (hoping against hope). I pitched all the green tomatoes and the downed red tomatoes into the lawn (volunteer tomatoes are a pain in a small space). I took all the veg and dumped it on the compost heap.

Back inside, I watched the nightly news until 7:00 PM and then started on tonight’s dinner.

I’m about “souped” out, so I went with potatoes and cheese pierogies. What could be better than starch and starch in starch?

I made them the way Sue Plezs (our neighbor back in the day) did. I melted a stick of butter in my skillet and added one yellow sliced onion. While that slowly sautéed, I put the pierogies into two quarts of boiling water and cooked them according to the package directions.

When they were all floating, I transferred them with the spyder to the skillet and let them turn golden. I plated about half, topped them with the onions and added a big dollop of sour cream.

OMG! Thanks, Sue!!

I watched TV until bedtime.
