Corn on the cob with butter salt and pepper, flat beans with small gold potatoes and bacon, rice and gravy, tomato wedges, fried pork chops.

That corn on the cob sounds so very very good! They have been putting the sweet corn stands up around town again but I haven't purchased any yet.

I think I am going to make pork chops in the slow cooker tomorrow...maybe. Depends on if the high is 107 or higher (real temperature) and apparently there are storms building up in the northwest but if it pushes the moisture south then our heat index may break a record...so the news person says. Gah!

No one is hungry tonight - it is too damn hot! Probably nibble on sliced apples and cheese and maybe pretzels.

It's 71 inside where I ate. When I nibble it's on cheese curls or fried pig skins

But you were out mowing - didn't that kill the appetite???

It is still nearly 100 degrees here - don't think it is going to cool off much below 80 overnight.

I haven't had a pork rind in years and years. I love cheese curls but I haven't had those in a while either.

Supper is my most important meal. It helps me sleep like a baby.

You may already know this but when you do snack, keep the bag upright. If you lay it on it's side all the nitrogen they put in the bag spills out. It's what keeps the snacks crispy.

I usually just pour a few out to eat - I don't crave chips like I used to.

I put chip clips on the bag - but I will pay attention to keeping them upright when I store them.

I was just outside to consider whether I should water again and it reminds me that I have been meaning to share with you that we have quite a population of Mississippi Kites this year in this part of the state. I did some research - they eat mostly insects like dragon flies. But they have been dive bombing everyone who walks near where they nest - and this year they have taken a liking to the trees that run between us and the neighbors. According to what I read - they will migrate south for the winter BUT they will come back sometime close to May. The red eyes freak me out. And the sound they make is sharp. But they are truly a beautiful bird and I feel a bit better about it knowing they don't attack song birds. I've been meaning to try to get a picture but the trees make it impossible to get a good zoom in on them.

When I mow katydids fly out ahead of me. I had one almost knock my hat off when he swooped down from behind me to catch one in front of me. The bag clips don't have to be stored upright. Just make a few folds and clip it.I use clothes pins. They work fine too.
