Relish Thoughts


Not relish, but a good looking petunia. My apologies for the red pepper relish post delay.

I have shopped twice for the relish made from scratch without a recipe. Not one red pepper has yet to be chopped. I even bought containers to store it in. I only plan a small amount for a few days. I believe today I finally have everything I need.  

A learning lesson is to have ingredients before deciding to get into a recipe from scratch.

Four or five days red pepper relish has been in my thoughts. If I bought a jar, then I might have an idea for what I want to use for ingredients. 

Anywayz...

I saw the Strawberry Moon last night, gorgeous. The night of the full version was overcast here.

I posted a poem today on:

Hasopen Road Poetry

This summer I will be posting regularly there or a new titled poetry blog. Trying out a new direction in how I write poetry and prose is good for me because it will stretch my creativity. I want something special to show for my 75th summer. 
Fourteen years having a poetry blog is a long time. There have been long slumps, sadness, grumpy pouting episodes, but I haven't given up. My 7th grade teacher gave me As on two of my poems with  very encouraging comments. The joy I felt was amazing. I still have the original copy. 😎

  4. Marie,
    I think the best red pepper relish is at a specialty store. That is where I found the one that made me a fan. Store gone along with the memory of the brand.

  5. I read "hot coffee more" and really liked it. I didn't know you wrote poetry....wonderful. I wrote two poems for my daughters, and still have to write one for my son. I've always loved poetry. I wish you well in your writing.

    The petunias this season appear to be very healthy flowers.
