Yum! How can you not want a golden globule of deep fried goodness. We like our anything fried around here. It has made me the woman I am today.

We rarely do fried foods - but - when we do I LOVE it! Every now and then I break down and fry something. Ya can't live in Texas without frying something sometime, lol!

Well dang. About 3 days too late for me. I'll have to wait for the next massive blooming.

We have a ton of dandelions this year. I thought about making wine. The chickens loves to eat them for me

Yup, I pick them every day and throw them to the chickens. They gobble them right up.
