this and that

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year here so far...97 degrees. We have been reading a lot because we can't go outside much. I am rereading NORTH WITH SPRING by Edwin Teale...my favorite book. It's just as good the second time. Next I'll read his summer, fall, winter books. I have them all. The only other book I reread was TRAVELS WITH CHARLIE. ...LOVE that book.
We went to church last night before supper and I started thinking about a hamburger and a piece of strawberry pie at Shoneys. We never go there, but it just had to be last night. We went after church and the hamburger and onion rings were so good, and the strawberry pie was as good as it used to be.
Edith brought some just-picked okra to church and told me how to cook it. She said to cut it into small pieces and soak them in buttermilk...Then roll the pieces in a mixture of half self-rising flour and half self-rising meal. She deep fries, but I'm going to just fry in oil...We'll try that for lunch today along with some corn on the cob...I put corn in the husk in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes each...then take it out and pull the husks off...soo good...
My Michigan friends from the campground taught me that.
We are going to Chilhowee park tonight to a picnic for Fair workers. We start working at the Fair in September. We will be in charge of the pottery and ceramics booth...We checked out all the books the library had about pottery so we will know what we are doing. Rose and Paul will be the judges for our booth.
The bad news is that we have to stay there every day until the fair closes at 10:00 p.m. And the building is not air-conditioned. Wow!
