A few random things...

Summer crops are ending, that being said, we are eating as much as we can in hopes of remembering them throughout the winter.  Fresh is so good, in fact, most of our market customers have a lot of the same thoughts we are having, "What are we going to do this winter? Grocery stores?". Hopefully at some point we will be able to acquire a greenhouse, which will be second best to field crops. Winter time is definitely as welcomed as summer time, a lot less activity, which its always nice to have a little break.  This picture, one of our last pickings of beans, is a great meal all by itself. We use about a pound of green beans, one cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds, minced garlic, olive oil, butter, salt, pepper and a fork! Cook a few ears of corn, and you have a great meal!

I made this walnut spatula the other day, and the maple cutting board its on. It works great to chop up the ingredients for the green bean meal, and to stir it while cooking! I finally got a belt sander, so watch out trees! One day I'll get a welder, then I will have officially accomplished one of my last "building" goals!


This is how we make work fun, ingenious...


Now the fun part...

Pea shoots have been a huge success this year! People love them! They are growing so much better with these cool nights...
