Good Weekend
I always said I wouldn't let this space become my journal, but every once in a while I get off the couch and it's kind of fun. So here's what I did this weekend:
Had potluck dinner with some friends on Friday night. I made fried rice.
Went to the State Fair with Anthemsled on Saturday, ate some meat on a stick, and saw some farm animals. Discussed the viability of backyard chickens, and goats.
This morning I gathered tasty local goods at the Farmer's Market, then went to the Tomato Festival with our neighbors. We sampled lots of varieties; these were my favorites:
Nearby was a Children's Garden; here was one of the homemade signs in a plot:
Came home and put my developing sewing skills to work making a bag out of a t-shirt. It came out OK:
Then I tried to re-create a pizza I'd had at someone's home, using strange German flatbread, carmelized onions, pesto, black olives, and mozzarella. Just finished eating it; not bad.
Now I'm back on the couch, blogging between online episodes of "30 Rock." All in all, a good weekend.

I'm looking forward to being able to eat what I've been growing in my garden all summer. Green beans are ready this week, already have a few 'maters, peppers are getting bigger, zucchini and eggplant are looking promising and we have herbs aplenty. Supplement that with the farmer's market and we are well fed for the next couple of months. Glad you had fun!
Hooray! I love looking at those suckers at the Farmer's Market who are buying zucchini from someone else! Don't they KNOW?? Enjoy!
