Friday Shoot Out:

Gordon over at Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida got to pick this weeks subject and he chose "Paint The Town Red."

Since this week we have been experiencing a nor'easter here and in the state of Florida, I didn't really get out to take any pictures. I just looked through my files for some pictures with Red in them. So forgive and maybe I'll do better next week!

This isn't from around these parts but it was good and Red so I stuck it in here.
Amish home in Ten Mile, MO.
From last years hunting trip.


Our favorite breakfast restaurant

has red walls and has the University

of Georgia, Bulldog theme as

you can tell by the tablecloth.


Red Grape Tomato
This child loves grape tomatoes
better than regular grapes.


Starting the canning process
last year.

Some of last years canned tomatoes.

I love to can, especially tomatoes and salsa. Don't think I'll get any of that done this year tho. Still looking for a house to buy and all my canning stuff is in storage. I will do some freezing. I l.o.v.e. my FoodSaver. Have a great weekend. Blessings, SusanD

Gigi, we have a new rule. If you post pictures of food, you must give 25% to the person who gave the assignment, 50% if it is sweet.
I'll check my mailbox every day! Beautiful job.

I think you just painted a little slice of Americana in red. Beautiful photos, all. Love the way you presented them. Thank you!

You made me hungry, though. Cake for supper! Red velvet is my husband's favorite.

Hi Gigi, I am soo glad that you dropped by my blog and left such a nice comment for me. I had been here to visit your blog yesterday, checking out your RED photos, when the internet kicked me out and left me hanging for the rest of the afternoon. There went all my ideas of visiting the Shoot out gang blogs! So frustrating. But now I am back, and I have to say how much I LOVE your pics of the red velvet cake and cheesecake. Oh yum, I just have to copy that recipe and give it a try. What a shocker red cake will be to the very conservative people here. :-) I liked your driftwood beach pictures, those are just amazing, really fantastic. Take care, and thanks again for dropping by.

Did you can all those bottles of tomato relish? Once, I had a whole chest freezer full of tomatoes. I didn't bother canning them. Just stuck them in the freezer. That was the only year I had so much tomatoes.
By coincidence, we had this guy staying with us, and he visited us today, after 20 year. We talked about my freezer full of tomatoes and he taught me to cook Sri lankan curry with my tomatoes.

great examples of RED - I also love grape tomatoes probably not more than grapes - a toss up maybe. I have a definite opinion about red velvet cake which I will not say on you family rated blog.... but cake should be chocolate and only chocolate just to give you a clue.... have a great weekend. who is the girl in Yellow, nice shot.
