And let it begin with me”
“Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me”
Silent Sunday
Late Friday afternoon. Points North of the city. Got out of car to drop something off and there it was. A front loader, sitting there, curbside.
The recipe from my Clarion PA neighbor, Nell Miller, was called Poor Man Meatballs.
No meat was involved.
Take 3 zucchini and grate or use food processor. Tip bowl to let moisture run off and discard. Get zucchini as dry as you can.
Add an egg
and about 3/4 c Italian Bread crumbs. Add a minced garlic clove or two
Salt and pepper let sit a few minutes. Form in patties.
Sauté in olive oil ‘til brown on both sides. Cast iron skillet works wonderfully. Freshly grated Parmesan is always welcome
On my mother’s side.

My grandson Michael (14) is the guest blogger today. Michael took some photos of Henry and Josie, their Airedale Terriers, over Memorial Day weekend.
The family visited the other grandparents in Virginia and celebrated Mark’s birthday.
Thanks for sharing your photos, Michael.
You captured the humorous duo! Keep on photographing, too.

Happy Birthday Mark ❤️ love, Mom
When cleaning out a desk last week, I was reunited with this piece of smooth polished wood. The maker emphasized it was for meditation, NOT a worry stone.
Spalted Maple. What is it? Wood that has started to decay. “Botanical Designation: Not a distinct species of maple; spalting is a fungal discoloration caused by partially decayed wood.”
I bought it from The Wood Rasp Shop vendor at the Pittsburgh Indie Knit and Spin at the Ace Hotel.
In fact, I posted a photo of the maker and his other wood items for sale in November 2018-the post titled Not a Worry Stone .
(I did google worry stones and they can be purchased in bulk)
