Amongst Cabbages

I bought this some years ago at an estate sale. Do you think it's the first altered book? lol! The split peas in this book reminds me of when, I use to love to go out into the garden when I was a child and eat fresh peas off the vine. You'd find me amongst the peas, although I love cabbage too. One of my sils gave me a recipe she got from one of her aunts called, Iya Oya some years ago. You saute garlic til brown in olive oil, add a can of oil packed tuna and cooked spaghetti. So yummy. We added peas a lot of times. This year I think it was I didn't have any noodles so I decided to use shredded cabbage and a can of water packed tuna instead. So yummy and my favorite way to make it now. Add salt & pepper. {P L}

Checker Silhouette

Wouldn't this checker board be great to paint a silhouette onto? Either a person or a city scape, etc. I am not going to do it since it is no longer at my house but I am tossing the idea out there.
