You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

I think I may make a tomato pie. I made one last year and loved it and I probably will have tomatoes still ripening.
Brownies of some sort, if course.

I tried a new recipe for black bean/corn salad this week, and we liked it a lot.Or I can do the crispy coleslaw.
And some brewed iced tea.

Plant it and they will come.

We haven't decided yet. I suppose we could bring the beans again if there's a demand. Otherwise, we'll come up with something different.

You're worth it!

Either the old standby Mexican Layered Bean dip w/chips OR Tapenade w/pita chips. Which would everyone prefer?
