Here's the crew pulling oregano leaves off the branches to freeze. (This works great with oregano and parsley-- not so much with basil, because it turns black.) Then in the winter, I chop it frozen to add to sauces and whatnot. Just opening the bag brings me back to summer. All of a sudden, the farm bags these last two weeks have been amazing-- gobs of potatoes (red or yukon gold), kohlrabi, turnips (yellow or red), onions (this week Walla Walla!), garlic, carrots, zuchini and summer squash, and lettuces... I'm forgetting something. It was a slow start, but I'm in vegetable heaven now. We also got our first fruit from the fruit farm-- Rainier and bing cherries. Mmmmm. I discovered that the vanilla my grocery store sells is local, and I'm looking into a local cheesery... though I may end up just making my own cheese. Anyone with experience in this? "Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.'.. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there evening, and there was morning-- the sixth day." Genesis 1:29, 31 |
