WORK GLOVES OFF APRON ON...HEAPING SOME HEAT #FOODFIGHTFRIDAY

Hello all my fellow foodie friends. HAPPY FRIDAY !! You know what that means, let's make a mess and get the food flying
around the freezing kitchen. Well it's not exactly freezing, but it will be soon here in God's country NY.
That being said, it's the time of the year here when it's asses and elbows to collect our heat for the winter, we know it's coming come hell or altitudinous (high) water. hum

So Hive account@thebigsweed with his eye on the prize and a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard working partner, firewood gathering has been the theme on the #farm this past week. Now the wood engineer has got it down to the minutes. For instance, it takes 59 minutes to split enough WOOD to fill the wagon, another 2 minutes to drive the ATV back to the house to unload and stack the WOOD. Now this is where I come in. I'm the best stacker you have ever seen. As soon as I hear the roar of the ATV coming down the pike, on go my trusty ole work gloves. I don't want to mess up my mani.

Just check out what I managed to stack all by myself, well, maybe I had just a little help from the big guy. I think it's just a beautiful sight to see and very soon I'll be feelin' the HEAT.

Being that I am in a marriage, I mean UNION, I insist we break for lunch. Now the wood engineer figures he can get another load while his hard working partner turns into his personal chef.

Off with the gloves on with the apron, a trip to the garden to pluck some #herbs and #veggies. With a delivery of fresh eggs this morning from my beloved EGG LADY, I thought a FRITTATA was a great idea. Since I own the deep pan "Copper Chef" how could I go wrong.

Here we go again...let's fight clean, no hitting below the belt.

Chopping and dicing some red pepper, green pepper, broccoli and red onions was a snap.

After browning up 2 slices of bacon, I added some shredded potatoes, browned them up, then spread the bottom with this nice mix.

Added all these perfectly chopped, diced and sliced veggies on top of the potato mix.

A dozen eggs whished with a little milk.

Eggs are pored over the veggies, a little shredded cheddar and fresh chives top this masterpiece off.

Into the HEAT it goes. Oven is what I meant, still thinking of that dang WOOD.

Now don't ya know, exactly 61 minutes after I started being the chef, the chef engineer, oh I mean chief engineer shows up and says ''Ready to unload some more HEAT.
NO sir it's time to eat, UNION rules, ya know.

Now that lunch is over, it's back to work. Off goes the boss to collect the next wagon full of WOOD. Now I know it's 59 minutes to collect the WOOD and 2 minutes to drive back. So that gives me 61 minutes to clean up the mess in the kitchen right? WRONG, the sun is shinning and my lounge chair is calling me. I whip off my apron and my hoddie and lay right down on the beautiful lounge to catch a few rays. I was asleep in 30 seconds. Thank goodness the roar of the ATV woke me just in time. I didn't want to get fired. Phew it was close.

Next trip up for the next load of WOOD, I jumped on my machine to check out what the boss was up to. Boy was I surprised, here he was just lounging under his own beach umbrella, unbelievable, I'm calling my UNION rep first thing tomorrow.

Thank you to our #fff reps Hive account@jlsplatts, Hive account@dandays and Hive account@idig. Do you guys belong to the UNION, I need to report a serious matter.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, enjoy the food.
Enjoy the flower!!
