The weather is still horrible. It was raining all day yesterday and must have been about 40 degrees. I was freezing, but braved the ick for opening day of our local farmer’s market. I nearly had the place to myself.<\/p>\n
As I had expected, most of the produce was trucked in from much further south. However, I did manage to find a few local goodies. Shiitake mushrooms, baby green garlic, hydroponic tomatoes, and a basil plant. Put that all together with a few other items and you get my favorite homemade pizza. <\/p>\n
Truth be told, I really don’t like tomatoes. I don’t hate them as much as I used to, but as a rule I won’t eat them. However, mixed with a bit of olive oil, salt, garlic and basil, they become my favorite pizza sauce. And that stuff I could just stand there and eat with a spoon. But I don’t because it’s too durned tasty on the pizza.<\/p>\n
For the last few weeks, I have been getting raw milk from a local source. It is wonderfully tasty and seems to be helping a bit with my weight loss. Today, however, I plan to take my fresh milk and make lovely lovely fresh mozzarella cheese from it. I will try my best to take some actual photos of the process. <\/p>\n
In other news, I am attempting to plant a garden this year. I’ve been spending the last few weeks preparing the soil and hopefully will be able to set out my first plants in a week or two. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
