And my garden rather overfloweth. Especially with kale and salad greens. However, the chard I picked for dinner tonight was truly outstanding, so much yayness there. And the 2 pound zucchini I picked ain't bad, either. Doesn't compare with the five pound zucchini I picked up at the CSA today, but then, I wasn't around to nurture it, was I?
It was kinda nice making dinner only from things that were super fresh. Even the beef was freshly ground.
It's also neat to notice the difference regions have on produce. Like my chard, for instance. I had fresh, fresh chard in BC while I was there - one night it was picked right before cooking. But it wasn't as good as my chard. Their strawberries, however, beat ours hands down. Their butternut squash is almost to die for, while ours is meh, but our acorn squash is da bomb.
Granted, this year it's unfair to compare produce because they haven't had summer yet. God, that was wonderful... (Did Igloat about mention I missed that horrible heat wave? Yeah. It was 60 degrees and raining where I was. Fabulous!)
But it's good to be home. ( Although I did have an interesting revelation due to the trip... )
Anyway, I am glad to be home. I don't know how long we will be here in New England, though it's likely to be for the next couple of years at least, but it is nice to finally feel free to make this my home, fully and completely.
