Food, food...

We did get to the Farmer's Market today.  Busy place!  And tonight, we fixed birthday food dishes that were all home grown by somebody.  I did a cabbage dish that I love with cabbage, onions, green pepper, and cherry tomatoes, all purchased at the market or picked out of Nathan's garden.  I also did a zucchini casserole with home grown ingredients.  Until my divorce and move to Plainfield in 1991, I was never without a garden.  Gardens are a lot of work, but I get great satisfaction from taking something grown from the soil and preparing it for consumption months down the road.  In the middle of winter, I can have something I prepared myself.  Unfortunately, my yard in Plainfield doesn't have the space for a garden.  I miss it!

Tomorrow will be a busy day.  The house isn't ready for company, in the least...but one little girl's birthday will happen, nonetheless.  Gotta go rest my weary feet!
