Still More from Hell-ish Kitchens

Our first pickle cucumber of the season

Isn't that a huge pickle cucumber?? I think I may have left it on the vine too long. Still, it tasted very yummy in our salad last weekend, much to the chagrin of our two kids who thought it should be bronzed and displayed. Maybe that comes of watching all those VeggieTales shows. You kinda expect the vegetables to grow faces and chat with you.

Our garden is prolific in weeds this year. (I cannot seem to keep up with them.) But we also have an abundance of cherry tomatoes growing and a small crop of cukes coming. Hopefully, our peppers and watermelons will catch up before long.

That's all for the W. City Garden Report. Stay tuned now for another great (and tres simple) recipe from Hell-ish Kitchens...

Cake Mix Cookies

1 box any flavor cake mix

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Mix all the ingredients together. Add chocolate chips, raisins, nuts...if desired. Spoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

I usually keep out what I think we might eat that day (storing the cookies in a ziploc bag), and then I freeze the rest. These cookies are NOT keepers. They don't store well and become stale very quickly.

ENJOY!
