Daily Farmhouse Journal

52 is always coming up with the weirdest stuff out of his pockets. I finally cajoled him into completely emptying out his pockets for my curious perusal.





Cash, change, debit card, receipts, pens, washer, three pocket knives, mini flashlight, three screws, shotgun shell, ring his dad cut off his hand when he was five after he closed the car door on his finger, fence staple, nail clippers, two state-issued pens, a lockout key, and a plastic snake a friend’s daughter picked up out of the river one day (hi, Maddy!).

What does this say about him? I think it means, among other things, that he’s handy, prepared (he’s a Boy Scout!), sentimental, and playful. Ready to write, illuminate, shoot (okay, it was just a shell he picked up off the ground), put up a fence, get you through a locked door, and give a manicure. :heart:

What’s in your pockets, or purse, that’s a little off the wall and what does it say about you?

Try Shrimp Toast on Grandmother Bread! This is the same recipe I use to make Shrimp French Bread Pizza, only using thick slices of Grandmother Bread. Serve it sliced in toast points or strips as appetizers, or in full, thick slices as shown here-add a fresh green salad and call it dinner!
