Vegetables, Honey Chicken, Cat

Potluck Sunday!  Donna made an amazing Moroccan stew with cinnamon and allspice.  I made little blueberry hand pies that I forgot to photograph.  

Red cabbage is here!  I cooked some red cabbage, kale, mushroom and tofu and served it over Israeli cous cous.  Cooking is exciting with all these vegetables growing around me.  There are so many options and I am getting better and better at throwing things together on a whim!

Conquering the 4th page of my chicken book.  This is the page were I introduce Honey.  It was very difficult to figure out how to cut out the arms wrapped around Honey so I have been putting it off by reading instead.  But today I decided I'd had enough and needed to get the 4th page going.

For this one I drew the image out then cut out the separate pieces of paper for different fabrics.  Very much like a puzzle.

Sexy Crook.  He knows I am infatuated with him.  But he pretends he does not care. (He loves me)

Vintage French Salad Spinner

Feeding the kitties.

Went in the hoop house to harvest some lettuce for a salad for Naomi and myself.

I got to use the vintage french salad spinner for the first time!  I cut the lettuce leaving about 2 inches so that it can grow back.  I had actually harvested all of this last Wednesday and it had already grown back!

I ran the lettuce under water and flipped the handles over.  I spun it around a few times to get rid of the water. Then I had freshly spun and harvested salad....it's the little things that make me happy.
