It improves the mood.
I burnt the cashews but they still tasted good.
I couldn't figure out why the couscous wasn't absorbing the water and then realized I had millet rather than couscous the first time round. By the time that was figured out the veggies were cold so I reheated the whole thing.
It tasted good.
This weekend I spent some time looking back over the last 77 posts.
Thinking about enough.
Enough time.
Enough resources.
Letting things be good enough.
(After 7 or 8 dips this is blue enough)
Enough as in "all done".
(Hazel says "Enough, time to cuddle.")
What is enough to keep children safe? To keep each other safe?
So much depends on...
Enough.
The goal for this weekend is to finish a few things.
So bias tape, pockets, button holes, buttons and trimming hems...
Trimmings make good twine.
And one last family rose...this one is "Green Ice." It was one of my Grandpa Homer's favorites.
I love indigo because it is like the sky (that's an eagle there between the trees)...
Cut and applied more bias tape today. I'm kind of "out of control" with the jackets and robes...but that is another story.
Growing on the back porch: zucchini, lemon cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, kale, a small patch of carrots (to pull one at a time for things like stir fry), parsley, rosemary, thyme, a cabbage (not doing as well as the one in the ground), cherry tomatoes, yellow beans, strawberries, and basil. Planted in three wash tubs, one whiskey half barrel and assorted smaller pots.
Plus a few flowers.
Oh, and the other bog garden...
I took the stitching outside tonight.
The mosquitoes have arrived.
So I moved one of my bog gardens up to the front porch.
Just another form of organic gardening...
This evening I am stitching binding onto the edge of a jacket and thinking about how we are all on edge, all altered...
(I am okay, just tired.)
Issue 39 of Taproot has a recipe for sourdough brioche.
Most of it was made in to rolls but I set aside a bit to fry for a beignets kind of thing.
This recipe is a keeper.
