Hi, friends!
How’s your week looking to be? Do you feel like you got a lot of stuff done this weekend or is Sunday night a mad scramble to get things ready?
I got all my crowder peas shelled yesterday and tonight I’ll get them bagged up for freezing. Did I mention I also bought 3 lbs of lima beans at the market too, and needed to shell those as well? Yeah, I did that this morning so I can get them stewed up. I was going to make succotash again but I have that delicious red sauce so it might be used for those over some rice instead.
Anyone doing fall plantings in the garden? I’ve got a tomato plant that’s about done at this point and my green beans are getting so chewed up by something that I probably will tear them out. I could repurpose those 2 planters for lettuce or spinach, not sure which yet. I have had luck growing kale in the past, which I love, but the fucking squirrels at the kale off the plant.
It was nasty hot today so I blew off the farmers market. I’ll go to the Monday one tomorrow. It’s not as big. But it’s also much less crowded. I need lots of fruit and veggies for salads since I don’t intend to run the oven for the rest of the week.
Yup I’m prepping today to use nothing but a cutting board and microwave for the rest of the week.
I’m most stressing out about Monday. (Rolls eyes at my inability to just go with it. )
Just watched the spike Lee doc on HBO.. these are some fucking dark times we’re living in. And it’s not gonna age well.
Now I’m intrigued. I may have to track it down and watch it.
I haven’t seen it, and while I feel that a lot of progress has been made in LGBT rights and acceptance, I also feel like we’ve really backslid in regards to racial issues. Or maybe I’m just more aware of it now…
Honestly, I kinda feel like it’s much more of a “both/and” as opposed to an “either/or”, with the race stuff…
Like it’s ALWAYS been a problem, and never *actually* got fixed, AND it’s also a lot more blatant, evil, and worse than it’s been in decades, because the nazis/NeoNazis are SO much more willing to come out in the open & try to recruit others to their side.
Although I basically got the things done that I expected to…I still feel like I missed almost an entire day’s worth of shit that still needs to get done. I need to make salsa, soup, eggplant parm, and probably red sauce as well. Definitely need to pickle more jalapeños. It’s a good thing I’m off this coming Friday, but that’s most of the week away and I need time sooner rather than later.
just 5 days to go till i have 2 weeks off 🙂
also….i still have the zoomies….kinda figured id have burnt out by now
*bounces*
oh hey…i have leftover curry for breakfast
fucking sweet!
*breathes fire*
fuck me…i forgot how hot i made that
I cleaned the garage, and in the process of doing so I got a bunch of other minor tasks done as well. So very happy about that, but my back and hips are unhappy at the moment and will be requesting a day or two off.
