Momma Said

I heard my first cricket chirping this past weekend and the old saying is after the first chirp it is six weeks until the first frost. I am not ready for that yet. Momma Said, “The frost will soon be on the punkin.”

I think we are finally getting our summertime weather. The temperatures are not so boiling hot and the rain has seemed to stop for a time. I just hate that the western part of our country is so dry. The wildfires are out of control. Momma Said, “Our heartfelt prayers go out to the families of the fallen fire fighters.” They were so young and doing something they loved to do.

When someone so young dies it seems a very harsh part of reality, but God has a plan for them that is bigger than anything we can comprehend. I know that doesn’t help ease the pain, but just to know they are in a much better place should ease the mind a bit.

The fall fairs in the area are all ramping up for some good ole fun so if you are in the area, go support your local 4-H and FFA kids in their efforts with their fair animals. The West Virginia State Fair seems to have been a great success. My niece and her good friend took some very prestigious awards with the animals they took this year. Momma Said, “Congratulations to both of them.”

Speaking of the fair, here is a great recipe to try at home. I hope you enjoy

When the oil becomes hot, Pour batter into a funnel and at the same time plug the hole at bottom with you finger, move your hand over the pot and slowly release your finger so the batter can start cooking.

Brown on both sides–then immediately remove and drain extremely well.
