The twenty weeks I spent in the West proved to be not only happy ones but also educational. I looked out at vast stretches of land and not a tree in sight, the prairie land was impressive. The temperature was high. One day the thermometer went up to 122 degrees.
It was May when I went west there had not been any rain, and that did not change until then very end of June. The rain got there the crops grew rapidly; therefore, we had things we could eat from the garden. Prior to the rain our diet was POTATOES! Potatoes with pork, potatoes with eggs, Potatoes with eggs and pork, oh and potatoes and eggs.
Once the garden grew we were treated with a large variety of fruits and vegetables.
Squash was one of the vegetables that grew. So I suggested that we pick the bachelor blossoms the ones without the squash. The blossoms were put in boiling water then lifted them out and pored batter over the blossoms to fry them; presto we had pancakes. The Ardes liked this strange dish so much that not long after friends came over and they were treated with the new dish.
