Well, then (I didn't know this is a thing), how about Raspberry soup from Epicurius. I always find their recipes to be very good. "Chilled Raspberry Soup is an extraordinary dish with incredible flavors. The tangy taste of raspberries is complemented by sherry and softened with sour cream." Don't drive after you have a bowl of this soup. :)

I filled another three pint jars with okra pickles last night (making one of them with bell instead of hot peppers) so I now have a second full case, and counting. There is another neighbor in the next block up the street from me who I've given okra to, so I'll probably make a run by her house today or tomorrow.

I have some organic chicken manure granules to sprinkle into the garden today and then it will get watered in tomorrow when it'll be time again to water. Speaking of water, down at the end of the street I could see water gushing from the street into the creek, it looks like a broken water main on the Fort Worth side of the street. I have water - this reminds me that I always need to keep bottles of water handy. There are bottles of water ready to pour on the potted plants outside beside the side door, but I'll fill a couple more to keep inside. When it stays hot for a long time the asphaltic concrete can shift and crack, taking pipes underneath with it.

Back to the first topic, I have some frozen raspberries, and am going to print out that recipe and think about making a batch. I have a friend's yard party on my calendar for early September and this might be the perfect contribution to take along.
