So very true! Oh, this photo is from WWII England when the English farmers would paint their cows so cars running without headlights might see them in the moonlight!<\/p><\/div>\n

Let’s head to the garden! We spent a couple of hours removing dead plants and to my surprise, I found a little creature hiding amongst the foliage.\u00a0 He is going to make us a great meal in the next few days!<\/p>\n

It was hiding!<\/p><\/div>\n

We had so many tomatoes that Mary decided to make tomato pie.\u00a0 Like pizza, tomato pie first appeared in the US around the turn of the 20th century, when the tide of Italian immigrants was strongest. Many credit Lombardi’s Pizza, which opened in New York in 1905, with being America’s first pizzeria. Tomato pie traces its origins in Philly to at least 1910 when Iannelli’s opened.<\/p>\n

Everything was fresh, right out of the garden!\u00a0 The type of tomato that smell best is?
\nA Roma.<\/p>\n

As the pie cooks, the cheese on top will become evenly distributed.<\/p>\n

Ready to go into the oven!\u00a0 We tried to follow a recipe; it said for a bigger portion double everything, but my oven doesn\u2019t go up to 600 degrees.<\/p>\n

Ready for the oven<\/p><\/div>\n

Burn, baby burn! The cheese was an excellent addition to the top, and the crust came out flawlessly.<\/p>\n

We had planned to attend the Linda Ronstadt concert at the lodge, but to our dismay, it was already fully booked so we could not get extra tickets. So, Robin and Colleen opted to have dinner at Islands instead. I have a feeling that their visit to the restaurant will leave a lasting impact.<\/p>\n

Colleen and Robin went to Islands.<\/p><\/div>\n

At the concert, we sat with a group of elderly hippies and had a great time dancing to many songs with Mary. Surprisingly, we forgot to bring our hearing aids, but it ended up being a good thing. We left around 9:30 pm and were excited to go home and have some marshmallows.<\/p>\n

We got home and did the marshmallow thing.\u00a0 We were having so much fun I forgot to take pictures.<\/p>\n

Did You Know? <\/strong>Althaiophobia<\/em>, the fear of marshmallows, is a real thing.<\/p>\n

In the 1800s, the French crafted the modern marshmallow when chefs realized they could whip marshmallow saw with egg whites and corn syrup to create a moldable snack.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the 1940s, when Alex Doumak revolutionized the process by running the ingredients through tubes before cutting them into equal pieces and packaging them up.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
