Full Plate Thursday Where The Greatest Cooks On The Planet Gather

 I am sure glad to see you today and hope that you are enjoying your summer with vacations, holidays and just enjoying the summer months.  We are super busy here at the cottage right now trying to get as much of our harvest preserved before the extreme heat sets in.  We are on water restrictions now because we haven't had rain in so long, our lake is down 4.5 feet and that is a considerable amount.  I am looking forward to spending the day with you today and can't wait to see what you are sharing today.  You can come sit on the porch with me and help me shell peas for a while and we will get all caught up on our news while we are waiting to eat.

 Background Story For Full Plate Thursday
When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".

    Your table is already spread with some wonderful goodies! I'm adding my Flourless Chocolate Cake with Fresh Strawberries. (It's gluten-free and nut-free, too, but no one would even notice.)

    Have a great time shelling those peas -- I'm looking forward to a recipe or two about them.

    Good morning, Miz Helen! I'm sorry to hear that you have water restrictions. We had them here in England last year. Hope the preserving goes well! This week I've shared my Shrimp and Scallop Pasta, a quick and easy meal that tastes really special. Thank you for hosting :)

    Sure wish I could send you some of our rain Helen, Southern Indiana has had quite a bit. Last year we were in a drought, this year we're almost swimming in the excess rain. Thanks for hosting and enjoy the rest of your week.
