good day!
Yesterday was a good day! I biked to work, and didn't die a horrible death even though I forgot my helmet. I got stuff done at work, and then I cooked a yummy-licious dinner using almost 100% local ingredients - some from my garden!
I made herb roasted chicken breast (schoolbus-sheltered chickens from the farmer's market! herbs from my garden!), with roasted root veggies (yellow carrots, beets & onions from the farmer's market, purple potatoes from my garden!), mashed garlicy cheesy cauliflower (from the farmer's market), and chard/beet greens (greens from the market, but the onions and garlic from my garden!). Very, very tasty. I'm definitely making the mashed cauliflower again, and chard is rapidly becoming my favorite green. I need to find a place in the garden to seed some for the fall! Oh, and so cool - the outside of the purple potatoes was crazy-bright purple, but the inside was lavender!
My sister, Lauren, is coming to see me on Thursday! Yay! She wants to bike and hike and go on boat rides - it's going to be a fun weekend!
