Lately we have been making a lot of dishes that will last a long time, because we have also been canning, and the prospect of cooking anew each evening is too daunting. So it’s been soups that last for days, for convenience’s sake.
Recent eatin’:
- Eggs! omg eggs.
- Frittata with green and white things (zucchini, leeks, fall peas, mozzarella)
- broccoli and cauliflower cheese soup (veggies from the market; secret to success of a cheese soup is to make a mornay sauce first and then thin it)
- Potatoes in various ways
- Tortilla soup featuring zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes, corn
- Corn on the cob!
Upcoming very shortly:
- Eggplant — probably miso-marinated and then roasted
- Artichokes — steamed as usual, unless I can learn how to grill them
- More corn on the cob
Coming sooner than I am really ready for: greens, greens, and more greens, thanks to winter.
Things we have canned: that’s another post for another day.
Projects we are currently in the middle of:
- Expanding the chicken coop, as Garth mentioned
- Making a makeshift above-ground straw bale root cellar, as Garth also mentioned
- Getting some cards printed up to hand out at the Tilth Producers conference
- Getting some mushrooms going (will be getting spores from Fungi Perfecti)
- Figuring out if we will actually build a greenhouse this winter
-
… and so much more I am sure I am forgetting about five things. And that doesn’t even include the basic things like “make sure I have clean clothes” or “do not let the bathroom be overtaken by mildew”! But those are overrated, right? Right?
