Lee Ann Perez- One Ash Farm And Dairy: How is
your diet going this summer? I have been joking that we are on a Salsa
and Ice Cream diet here at One Ash! Tomato salsa, both chunky and smooth,
Corn Salsa, and of course a lot
of homemade ice cream using our own Grade A Raw Milk! Banana seems to be
the favorite flavor, with chocolate a close second! I'm not sure it's so good
for our waistline, but we sure are enjoying the fruits of our labor! If you want to know more about our
recipes for Salsa and Ice Cream, you can find them on our blog at www.OneAshFarmAndDairy.com
or, you can come visit me at the Ridge Spring Farmers Market on
Saturdays! I'll be there each Saturday from
about 10:00 -
noon. At market I will have fresh
baked breads and goodies, our growing selection of homemade soaps, salves and other apothecary
items, handmade crocheted dish cloths, and when available farm fresh
eggs. And if you would like whole, Grade A Raw milk, I usually have a
small amount available. Prices are $7 a gallon, $4.50 a 1/2 gallon. If you
would like to pre-order milk to make sure I have some for you, please give me a call by Friday noon at (803) 649-9172. Hope to see you soon, and have a
blessed week!

Book Pick from David
Marshall James:
A good three decades before “Georgy Girl”
went “swingin’ down the street, so fancy-free,” another “Georgie Girl”—Lady
Georgiana Rannoch, 35th in line to the British throne—was also
swingin’ down the streets of London, as Rhys Bowen’s “Royal Spyness” mysteries
would have it.
I’m not the World’s foremost fan of
historical mysteries-- particularly with the glut of “Downton Abbey” wannabes and
knock-offs—but the Lady Georgie novels grabbed me with their Noel Coward-y wit
and drollness before D.A. became a sensation.
Indeed, Coward himself appears in “The Twelve Clues of Christmas,”
probably the best of the lot, as a close friend of Georgie’s mum, a famed stage
actress married briefly to the Duke of Rannoch, whose drafty, ancestral,
Scottish castle can be perfectly beastly come winter.
Then, there’s the beast of Castle
Rannoch: Georgie’s priggish
sister-in-law, Fig, who figures Georgie ought to marry, the better to increase
the family fortunes, or at least vacate the castle. However, our heroine’s true love, though
titled, hasn’t a sou. The Great
Depression is raging, after all.
So:
Lady G travels and visits and attempts to work in acceptable situations,
which lands her in all manner and speaking of intriguing locales and
contretemps. It’s the perfect set-up for
a mystery series, as it can thus offer changes in settings and characters. “Naughty in Nice” stands out as another stellar
selection in the Royal Spyness books, in which milady basks in the delicious
warmth and wealth of the French Riviera.
The author did an enormous service to
the series when she added Queenie, an inept lady’s maid, for Georgie, who
really cannot afford a lady’s maid, but who cannot travel without one, given
the social conventions of her status.
“Bob’s your uncle, ma’am,” has become Queenie’s catchphrase, and
“Georgie’s your lady,” could well be author Rhys Bowen’s. “Malice at the Palace,” the most recent “Royal
Spyness” mystery, will come out in early August.

I noticed a sign at Dollar General in Ridge
Spring that asks for water and Gatorades to be donated to the RSM High football
team. These young men are out in the
heat most of the summer, many times in full pads and helmets in this hot and
humid SC summer heat. Help the Trojans
beat the heat and prepare for another great season!
That leads us to FOOTBALL FEVER! We are very
excited about the 2015 season with the Wardlaw Patriots, the RSM Trojans, and
the King Knights! There is nothing quite
like football Friday nights in the South!
It’s exhilarating to see those boys of fall make their intimidating
entrance onto the gridiron amidst the sounds of fans cheering, a train horn’s
warning, or a band’s rhythmic beat.
Wardlaw and King kick off their regular season Aug. 21, and RSM will
begin Aug. 28.
My dad now has motorized
wheels! The town of Ridge Spring better
watch out! He’s been cooped up for so
long that he is going to enjoy this newfound freedom!
