Yes, I know I’ve been very negligent about posting. Summer came and all of a sudden life got very, very busy.

Updates:
Jaeger & I have gone either camping or backpacking around every other weekend for the last couple of months. This has been very fun but leaves the house in a dreadful state. Our shower always looks dreadful if I don’t clean it at least weekly.

I went ahead and signed up for the CSA I joined last year. Produce started arriving late due to the initial cool weather. However, once it started coming, it came with a vengeance. I am now swimming in potatoes, onions, turnips and kohlrabi. We get other stuff too but these are the items I have trouble using at a respectable pace. We’ve been getting lots of zucchini too but I’ve just been making that into breads for the winter and cake. The cake recipe was an experiment and turned out pretty good. When I get around to it, I’ll have to post the recipe. In addition to produce, I also bought a fruit share. So far we’ve gotten 10 lbs of cherries (5 lbs for two weeks) and a large bag of apricots. My manager wondered what I would do with 5 lbs of cherries. I told her I was going to eat them. She was dubious. However, it appears that Jaeger and I can each easily manage to go through 1/2 lb/day of cherries.

I’ve always become enamored with frozen bananas and grapes. Via Costco, I purchased large quantities of both fruits. Worried that they would go bad before we could eat them all, I sliced up the bananas, rinsed the grapes and then frozen them. They’re a perfect snack when I get home. Nice and cool in our very warm house
