I'm sure you are aware of the sad saga of the white pines and lumbering era in Michigan. We are thankfully still blessed to have rich forests and virgin forests like (Hartwick Pines), saved from the axe, the largest stand of virgin white pine remaining in the lower peninsula. Though once gracing archways in major cities like Detroit and our neighborhood, loosing 6 in my yard, I am blessed to still have my sentinel American elm hanging over our house. So lets enjoy our scallops and the remains of beautiful September :)<br /><br />Hi Wendy. Shrimp is wonderful too! Try my Grilled Shrimp with Walnut Pesto ... marinated in the pesto, skewered, and grilled ... amazing! Just key in the name at the top of my site ... it's great too!<br /><br />Thanks imac ... sometimes tweaking is fun :)joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-75678179250592297112010-09-19T17:14:57.809-04:002010-09-19T17:14:57.809-04:00I really like this shot my friend, its very Arty.I really like this shot my friend, its very Arty.imachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533409255215440113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-40062463206562157312010-09-19T16:41:05.048-04:002010-09-19T16:41:05.048-04:00aaaggh, this sounds absolutely delicious.

I should stick to reviewing new gardening books but there is a lure to great food and warm smiles.<br /><br />I notice on your profile you enjoy American Elms and White Pine. When we bought the land for our new nursery there were 6 elms. This year there are two less. Also two less butternuts. Pines continue to do well. <br /><br />In northern Vermont there is an island in Lake Champlain named Isle La Mott. When Samuel de Champlain hit Vermont in 1609 he named the island Pine Island because of the size and covering of virgin white pines. Two hundred years later when Burlington Vermont was the lumber capital of the US, pines were cut in the winter, dragged onto the lake ice by oxen and horses, bound together and then when spring arrived they were floated down lake to the sawmills. <br /><br />I like our forests and I love your blog!<br /><br />George Africa<br />The Vermont Gardenervermontflowerfarm@outlook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923885023694355932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-23815010510829637122010-09-18T23:45:52.688-04:002010-09-18T23:45:52.688-04:00Hugs, Leigh-Ann.

Thank goodness for herbs, which will kick your bland diet up a notch!<br /><br />Hi, Tina, and thanks. Hold tight friend, we have a few more precious days of summer to hold onto :)<br /><br />Thank you, Karen. I've been cookin' more than shootin' lately but gettin' itchy to twirl things around. BTW, your last sunflower post was amazing! It's been a joy to connect and see life your gifted eye.<br /><br />Hey, hi busy Rob. Thank you for your precious downtime moment to connect. I love pesto but also the many ways to interpret this fun treat. Basil rules in the herb garden. As the season/basil wanes, I add spinach/parsley, etc. and other tasty toasted nuts beside traditional pine nuts.<br /><br />You are so 'right on', Haddock. Thank you for visiting.<br /><br />Hi, dear Clare. Still in awe digesting your last awesome 'egg-cellent' post. It's fun to tweak pesto ... so many choices, all wonderful. A seasonal cook, I seem to go a bit heavier with herbs and nuts as the seasons/light goes darker.joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-58264750341896873702010-09-17T15:08:48.815-04:002010-09-17T15:08:48.815-04:00I've done pine nuts, and walnuts in pesto, but...I've done pine nuts, and walnuts in pesto, but never thought to try pistachios.

(And Mr. Ho-Hum could never eat enough scallops!)<br /><br />Thank you, dear Carol.<br /><br />But you look marvelous, Kate, so no damage done :) Oh yes, this is good. We love pistachios too, in any shape or form.<br /><br />You are a joy, dear Kiki, and thank you for coining 'Joey-esque'. I'm honored :) Happy 'upcoming' autumn to you, fun friend.<br /><br />So salivate on, debsgarden! I have lots of scallops posted here. We could do a 'scallop fest' recipe post! Actually, a love/hate food for many ... plus have also learned to ask about food allergies.<br /><br />Thanks, Tatyana. Less is more for me and why I like to combine a feeling, knowing those who visit are on a limited time schedule. So my simple theme ... quote, seasonal recipe, a few photos to back me up. The bench is on the patio with 2 matching chairs/table and a long view of the back garden. This is where we sit/sip/and enjoy appetizers before candlelight dinners, in warm months on the sun porch.
