Ok SO. I'm back. Here I am. See me?
I don't have to go out of town until the middle of August, and after that - no plans! Hooray!
I am looking forward to:
farmers markets
new recipes
sticking with Weight Watchers (signed up online on Monday)
sewing
working on the house and yard
gardening
swimming
This week, David's going fishing with his Dad in Canada and I've got big plans.
1) I'm installing some shelves in the laundry room so I can store more food in there.
2) I'm trying out the ol' sewing machine (finally!!)
3) I might put in some tomatoes and squash. I have to ask the nice people at Harlow Gardens if it's too early for fall tomatoes. I really want to pot some cilantro, parsley, tarragon, and dill, and maybe pick up one of those Trader Joe's cheap and ginorm basil plants. I've got plans to make a huge batch of pesto and freeze it in an ice cube tray. It's funny that I have these huge sage and thyme plants, plus tons of rosemary, and I wind up buying cilantro at the store but barely use the herbs I have outside. I do use my basil and chives more often but about half of my basil has gone to seed. Gah. My tomatoes are getting attacked by birds, so I rigged a protective contraption out of an upsidedown tomato cage and some garden netting.
4) I'm going to the farmer's market. I've never been to the one at St. Phillips on Saturday, so I'm going to check it out. And of course I'll be there Sunday, bright and early to get the good stuff. Sybil found this awesome list of 101 summer salads and I'm dying to try about 45 of them.
I can hardly wait!
Oh, and here I am in Rocky Point, Mexico, enjoying a gorgeous sunset.
