Apples make a delicious coffeecake. This recipe only takes two. What a good way to use up those two apples withering away in the fridge crisper drawer. Peel 'em and use 'em.

2 large green cucumbers
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh chives or 2 teaspoons dried chives

Eggplant is one of those veggies you either like or you don't. This recipe reminds me of a pizza. I suppose if you added a few slices or pepperoni, you could call it an eggplant pizza.

Occasionally I find onions in a five-pound bag at a reasonable price. Then it's time to make some of my onion recipes. Delicious served with liver or hamburgers.

I bet you have never heard of this combination: cabbage and noodles. Surprise. It tastes great. Of course you can gussy it up with leftovers, such as crumbled sausage patties or links, crumbled hamburger patties, crumbled small slice of meatloaf. 2 or 3 tablespoons cottage cheese , etc. One of these can be added when the noodles are included in the cooking process.

There are a number of ways to prepare and serve summer squash and zucchini. It can even be frozen for next winter's use. Here is a good casserole. Try it and see what you think. Hopefully, it will be pave a place in your recipe box.

Okay, that crumbled- rusted -fender Edsel was history. We were tired of hearing the lame jokes about Edsels. Most of them were not very nice. We needed a new car. This time we would stick with a well-established brand. Our adventure down the side street of "New! New! New!" was over. Dad had been smart enough not to get sucked in by the hype over the Tucker car. We should have learned from his experience that "Buyer Beware!" was more than just an idle threat. But Dad was gone to his reward and we were slow in wising up.

This afternoon I was watching golf, part of the Olympics in Japan. What I know about golf you could inscribe on the head of a pin. I’m not interested in knowing any more. I watched it with the sound off. It was funny that way.

Carrots are great dressed up with just a little butter, salt and pepper. They peak their orangy heads out of soups and stews, too. Carrots and orange are a great combination as well. Try it.

Fancy up some onions and serve this to your guests. It is worth the trouble. Use Vidalia onions if you can find them,
