i've had lamb that was so mild it could have been beef, but i've never had goat so i can't say much other than, "Baaaaa!"

yesterday was a day off of pretty much everything. i did get a great massage (2hrs and she works hard), i almost fell asleep three times, so i took that as a hint when i got home i almost was able to nap but the phone was making noises... so that didn't go very far. today is back to bean...

a moment ago...

i love sweet potatoes (the texture and flavor is a lot like our favorite squash) and they have a lot of nutrition. i've never eaten the leaves. we've only grown them here once (a long time ago) and it was quite a trial to get them harvested from the heavy mostly clay soil we have. i think if...

at the last minute Mom wanted tomatoes picked to give away. most of what are out there now are cracked or marked and starting to spoil, so not tomatoes i would want to give to someone else. but i managed to find enough tomatoes to get most of a bucket picked and they weren't too dirty since...

tonights dinner was a few tomatoes chopped up into chunks, nuked to get hot and then sprinkled with plenty of oregano, garlic salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed it together, then added cottage cheese. sort of like lasagna but without the eggs, other cheeses or meat. it turned out ok, but it...

at the moment i could eat six of them. dinner was light...

bean post, you be warned!... :) i'm not sure if i've mentioned it elsewhere's in the SS forums, but if not, my shelling the other day started with a box of beans from a specific garden where i'd planted some outcross seeds, i knew there might be chaos coming based upon the pattern on the bean...

we don't use four letter words like S**W around here.

yes, i've not spilled any beans yet today... always something, i just go with the flow, or follow the trail of beans... letting my feet and legs recover and heal up (heel up would be more accurate as i'm lounging around here on the trusty and stable perch - but a cramp i had last week now...

i get it confused with currants... i've not had either of those in 10 years or more now to be sure. :) i have had filled donuts with generic red taste and i don't much care for them at all as i don't really like raised donuts as compared to cake donuts. hmm, it's fall, i've not had even a...

a mix of things today and nothing really coherent. vegetables, cheese, cookies, apples and peanut butter, cereal. i'd like to eat another meal right now but it's late and that's not a good idea. peanuts are calling my name with a chocolate accent... i'm weak... [i was so weak i couldn't...

yeah, over the hump...

i love preserves of almost any kind and if i recall the tastes right doesn't elderberry kinda have a generic red taste like that filling they use in donuts that is red?

it finally rained enough to wet the ground this afternoon. i didn't do anything outside. i have no plans on doing anything until it gets dry enough out there to pick more dry beans, that might be Wed, Thu or Fri. we'll see... in the meantime i'm sure we've got stuff to do in places and i...

cheese goes well on fish fillet sandwiches (learned from McD's many years ago). :) i've not done that myself in ages as we don't usually make fish fillets or sandwiches - just fish sticks and canned sardines...

the hot peppers i'll eat, the green peppers i'll eat or give away, i've already frozen everything i want for making chili this winter.

Thursday i picked the last of the beans i needed to get right away just in case it rained Friday or Friday night as predicted (it didn't). i also picked almost a full bucket of some peppers to give away. we weren't going to eat them along with some peppers i'd already cleaned out for stuffed...

i don't know what this means... ??? :) but it sounds interesting.
