Ok, so mama is not the best gardener. Pretty darn bad, actually. Good with the indoor plants, but outdoors is always a disaster. This year we planted two huge raised beds and approximately 37 heirloom tomatoes, most of which now have some sort of bacterial wilt and are pitiful. The bunnies ate all the peppers and the strawberries, the carrots never grew much, and the chard is invisible. The bright spot is the baby bok choy and zucchini. Above, Gracie is holding onto our bounty with a death grip. She refused to put our two precious produce specimens down, knowing full well they'll be few and far between. Maybe next year!!
In a moment of desperation, I let the kids get in the suitcases and I wheeled them around. Charlotte said it was the most fun she had all day, beating out the adventure to the Asian grocery store United Noodles for all sorts of exotic yumminess. Gracie had so much fun in the suitcase she refused to get out.
With a little of the proceeds from teaching the Hamline University class, I purchased some new cookbooks. Here's my first loaf from Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads. It took a couple of days (it's a slow rise) but it did taste a bit like great harvest bread, if I do say so myself.
Tommorrow it's a cooking adventure with Flatbreads and Flavors. We're going to India!
Did you all have luck with the picture album website from the last post? Let me know if it worked for you. http://threelittlebyrds.shutterfly.com/
I love the suitcases!
