As a self-appointed foodie, I often watch Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives for cooking inspiration.

I've heard some folks refer to cattle as, "hamburger on the hoof." With that reference in mind, I have been salivating about all the jelly on the bush that the current blossoms have been hinting at. I was disheartened by the frost that took many of my sandhill plum possibilities. As the summer progresses, I will rise to the challenge with our feathered friends to see who will be the first to the harvest.
