CSA Share - Week 7


Mixed Lettuces (in bowl), Walla Walla Onions, White Ball Turnips, Northern Lights Swiss Chard, and Provider Green Beans & Eureka Yellow Beans (in bag)


This week's produce has less lettuce than weeks past. We enjoy the change. More to come on how we prepared the chard. A couple weeks ago we got Joi Choi Bok Choi and grilled it. Yum.

Our Community Supported Agriculture farm is Nitty Gritty Dirt Farm in Harris, MN and we split our share with Jon and Deb.

Lunar Eclipse

Looking up at the eastern sky



Last night we went out in the freezing weather to catch a glimpse of the lunar eclipse. Here is the view at 8:38pm CT.
















Jittery effect, oops.

I changed the setting on the camera to 'twilight' and it unfortunately captured my movement.



These shots were around 9pm when the eclipse was in its totality.














Pictures just don't capture the awesome view of this incredible astronomical delight.

Gone Fishing

My dear and talented friend Gina showed me how to can fish this summer.


We caught King Salmon during our Alaskan cruise in June. And Gina shared her secret technique of canning fish.

Now we need to plan a trip to Sitka with Gina and do all day fishing for a few days.

This is such a treat. Only a couple left for Christmas gifts. Jess got his this weekend.

Merry Christmas and happy fishing!

Procrastinate and Win


It was a fun day creating a Halloween costume this year that tied into the theme of the party, 'come as your hero'.

Here was my clever attempt at a hero.



Hero Sandwich with label and all the fixin's.

Just slip it over you like a sandwich board and you've got the costume.

I think the winning category was 'best originality with the theme' or something like that. Oh, the bar code numbers when converted spelled 'happy halloween'.

Heck, I had fun whipping it up that same day as the party.

Oh how I do procrastinate.
