Hi guys. I've been bad. but, I've been busy and, kind of not great.
So, let's start with the garbage. I have been having some digestive issues recently, and for the alst few moenths, they have gotten much worse. that means I haven't been eating, which, of course, means no cooking and, frankly, very little interst in either. we have determined that I'm coming close to but not quite to an ulcer. the doc has me on RRIs and thinks that will do the job if I give myself just a few more weeks on relatively easy food.
so that's the bad stuff. and I'll be better.
the good stuff was simply that it was summer. and, in summer, I spend a LOT of time int he garden. I've been outisde most days. not cooking but gardening. the good part is, I have some great winter veg on the shelves. and the Y has REALLY gotten enthusiastic about canning. We pickled pears from our tree, made some amazing pickled apple sauce and some pickled cran apple Jam that will knock your socks off!!
I'm starting my greenhouse this weekend!! and we've done a good bit of yard overhall. it's getting better but not quite there yet.
I have planted a couple of Persimmon trees and one has produced on lonely little persimmon this year! and next year, it should be much more laden!!
also, in spring, I raised 1000 silkworms, and after that, spent the rest of the summer raising Monarch butterflies. and tomatoes and squash, and butternut squash and watermelon, and even some winter watermelon, and cantaloupe, and watched over my blue birds and killed a LOT of sparrows! and, well, just didn't stop much.
Now, it's fall and it's baking season again. and that means bread, and today I made English Muffins. the Y is smoking some salmon and Saturday, we're going to have leftovers as out Eggs Benedict. Meat Pies are back on the menu and, probably next week will be My Walnut Tarts.
Any suggestions of things you want to see me bake?
So, now, if I have my belly back, and we can get the weight off the Y (Still working on that cause he STILL needs his surgery) and that's one reason I have been pushing veg and not bread and baking,we'll get to it.
GOSH!
I guess that's the catch up! Let's see what the fall brings for us all!!
