  1. How was the farmers market?

    This past Saturday I scored some cheap kohlrabi, which I always forget what they’re good for. When I got home I found a recipe for slaw, and I just peeled and shredded them and added bottled Italian dressing. Worked great.

  2. We are down to the last 3 steps on my concrete stair project!  Although, we have already gone through the 52 bags of cement & the way things are going will need another 18 to finish the project.  My back & knees hurt & my work partner went into A-fib on Saturday while I was moving my daughter, he decided to do the landing pour (probably 16+ bags by himself).  He won’t quit but he has at least slowed down and is letting me carry all the bags now.  He is meeting w/ his cardiologist right now.  We have until Wednesday to return the forms so the project is in pretty good shape even if we aren’t.

    • My M-i-L used to do something similar to this. She was very active in her church, which had a very small congregation (two or three dozen, maybe) but a very popular food pantry. She would drive around her territory and shake down all the food purveyors for everything that was still edible but that they were getting rid of. She’d make the employees load up her car. Then, she would drive around until she found a couple of teenagers hanging out, pull over, and command them to get into her car. Off they’d go (you did not say no to this woman), back to the church/food pantry, and the teens would do the unloading and the shelving, because the average age of the parishioners was about 75.

      That woman was a saint. I miss her every day.
