Houston, there is fruit

Is the mystery solved? The remaining plant appears to be a watermelon plant. Or is it squash?

I was happy when I spotted this beauty. It was a really nice surprise. I was expecting to see only flowers.

And there is hope for more... Can't wait.

Home made tacos

TJ loves tacos... and I never got around to making any.

The moment had the right ingredients: craving and willingness to do the work. So he set off to make us a batch of tacos.
We ate gourmet tacos for dinner.

More Pizza

Snowden's pizza version. Thick crust.

A little girl's pizza

Grasshopper and Snowden decided to make some pizza.

The kitchen was all theirs...

They pull out all the ingredients...

Ready for the oven.

And no, it was not eadible this time around. :-)

Still growing

My small garden is moving along...

I am still not sure what is growing.

Can you tell?

Grilling 101

Snowden is building her cooking skills repertoire.

When I see this happen I think about how one day she will cook for herself and her family and friends. And I'll get to say "I knew her when".

She's already cooking for us - an unintended reward for parents.
:-)

Growth

The garden is surviving the heat. Only about 1/8 of the seeds I planted grew but I am good with that.

I purposely did not label what I planted so I am sooooo in the dark about what is growing.

I remember something about melons and squash.
