Enjoying Hillsboro Airshow

Huge crowds enjoy this annual event!

Here are Annie and Haley at the Hillsboro, Oregon 18th annual Airshow. Annie volunteered to work in one of her employer's booths. She administered first aid while Haley and I got to wander about the show. It was really hot there but a lot of fun!

Marionberry Heaven!

We act quickly to stock up on the most delicious marionberries from the folks. These are frozen to be used for jams and cobblers this winter!

Zucchini Heaven!

From the folk's farm, we have an abundance of delicious zucchini. They make delicious quiche! Here's a quick little recipe you will love:

Zucchini Quiche

-3 cups shredded zucchini
-1/2 cup grated cheese
-1 cup Bisquick (we use flour, just as good!)
-1/2 cup chopped onion
-1/2 cup oil
-4 beaten eggs
-1/2 tsp. seasoned salt (we just sprinkle a bit of salt on the grated zuke while the other ingredients are being prepared. Then we squeeze excess water the salt has pulled out of the lump of grated zucchini).

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients. Bake in greased dish 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Cut into squares. (I also admit to adding a bit more grated cheese and Annie loves to chop ham and put in too!)

The result? Plenty of quiche!

Strawberry Surprise From The Farm

Grandma and Haley picked a large bowl of strawberries. Haley then baked some beautiful bicuits. Now when Annie gets home from work she will get a super-nice strawberry surprise!

Another one of the fun ways to use "flickr toys" (see May 20th for link). This is for making photo badges... cool, huh?
