'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner
in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave!

| SWEET greetings, from the farm... an 'Independence' greeting at that! As the 4th rolls around... we all are anticipating the gathering of family & friends, whether it's YOU being the hostess or YOU'RE contributing to the feast at someone else's home! |
 |
| And along with this week up til the celebration... there are the decisions & preparation of WHAT to serve/offer OR bring for family & friends to feast on! Well, here today... I'm offering... one of my TRIED & TRUE, side dishes! One that is all-too-well known, especially throughout the grilling season! BUT, there are several ingredients in which I have taken upon myself to add & they are SURE to make a difference!SO, let's begin... shall we... 'Spicy Grilled Cabbage' Prepare cabbage, slice into 8 wedge pieces, placing on a double layer of foil. Cut one, large 'Vidalia' onion into wedges, scattering about. Remove seed & chop several 'Corno Di Toro Giallo' peppers & add. Add FRESH garlic, to YOUR taste ~ Slather with REAL butter & give the ingredients a drizzle of olive oil, with a drop of hot sauce, again, YOUR taste! Sprinkle with mineral salt, crushed, black pepper & paprika. And DON'T let barbecue sauce be restricted with only meat... CABBAGE is delish smothered in a specialty sauce as well! Cover & seal foil... throw on the grill before hand, to allow for complete tenderness... unless you parboil the cabbage, first! Time will vary upon grills & temp... ENJOY, each & every bite... |
 |
| Being here in the 'Bluegrass State', as well as MANY other states... outdoor festivities will be high on the agenda! Cook-Outs, Barbecue's, Porch Parties... will be hopping to the tune of music, laughter & popping firework! SO let's NOT forget about the center of those tables, this weekend! Adding FRESH-CUT flowers TRULY does something for the soul! Here at 'Beehind Thyme Farm & Garden'... we will be adding SUNFLOWERS to mason jars, wrapped in burlap with flags tucked in each one... NOW that's sure to spread some CHEER! Here's to... Hoping EACH of YOU a happy & safe... Independence Day! |
