Away from this site for the past week at least. I have been taking care of things outside with the garden and preparing an herb garden. Those tasks just take time away from the little things. We have peppers, tomatoes, okra and squash growing in the garden so far. The herb garden is taking a little longer as we need fill dirt and some more boundary rocks before it is planting time. Two loads of mulch later the yard is looking much better. A large maple tree was cut down this week in the front yard as it had died on one side and was threatening to fall onto our house. I hated to cut down a huge tree, especially since it gave much needed shade in the afternoon sun but I also didn’t want to repair a roof. Now we are looking for fast-growing shade replacement for that area. Hybrid poplars and weeping willows are being considered.
In the cooking department I haven’t created anything earth-shaking lately. The past week has consited of spaghetti marinara and tempeh sausage. Red beans and rice, roasted corn and macaroni and “cheese” and the usual veggie burgers (Amy’s are the best). My wife did make coconut-lime cupcakes, those are always earth-shaking. I owe someone a recipe and/or batch of eggless cornbread. I’ll get to that one soon.
Other than those small things nothing much going on.
We do have fresh kittens, more on that later.
Fresh kittens?! Oh I know it’s not food (because that’d be un-vegan and gross) but you should post pics of them…everybody loves baby kitties!
Pictures? Done!
