ION, ( Travel plans! )
Otherwise, life is as it always is. In the garden, the bulbs I planted in the back are coming up (the crocuses are blooming! I'll post a photo one of these days) and there's signs of life from other parts of the garden as well. The winter was so mild that many of the ferns never died all the way back! And it looks like at least some of the yellowstrife survived... And the wild rose got chopped back because it was trying too hard.
In the kitchen, I finally got around to making the yogurt (6 hours to come up to temp? Seriously? Sheesh. Need to remember to wrap a towel around the yogurt maker for that stage till the weather warms up!), and I also made some kimchi! Hopefully it will mellow a leeetle bit, as I think I may have added a little too much red pepper (it looked so anemic!).
I've also been actually using up the veggies I buy. Very odd. And, while I generally love food, I must admit I really do not care for red leaf lettuce. I'm finding I have to have it with fish to counter the bitterness. Blech. (On the plus side, that does get me my omega 3s...)
Aaaand, while I have been very productive (for me) this week, I have also successfully managed to avoid doing any school work whatsoever. Probably not a good thing, that, but I know I can catch up over the weekend or on Monday. Nothing like knowing one's abilities to strengthen the procrastination bug!
And... that's it. Need to go get the kid from after-school pretty quick, so I shouldhide the bon-bons clean up my mess a bit more so as to set a good example. ;-)
