the weekend, pictorially

- Act 1 -
A bit of cooking.

making pasta
Fresh pasta. Always yummy, but we both agreed we don't quite have the right recipe yet. Anyone have a good one to share?

kale-potato pizza
Pizza with garden kale, yukon gold potatoes, yellow onion and thyme. Starting with the fresh-picked kale, I then turned to our trusty Flavor Bible for some good suggestions for complementary ingredients. It never disappoints.

- Act 2 -
Broooooooooooom.

brooooom
Told you, this kid is nuts-o for brooms. We spent some quality time this weekend perusing options in the Container Store catalog. We even fished this fine literature out of the recycling bin once. A committed obsession (and compliant parents).

- Act 3 -
Green gangbusters.

garden puttering
I did some serious garden puttering, one of my main talents.

relaxing
A bit of relaxing, too.

beet thinnings
The beets needed a little thinning...

beet thinnings
...and eating, as well.

- Act 4 -
Finally, some quality time...

blue
... contemplating the color blue.

  3. Hey Gayla! Thanks!! That's our new veg garden... we're slowing re-do'ing the backyard of our new home, but the edible garden was job one :)

    You can't see them in this photo, but way back behind some of the greenery are 3 planter boxes we built with instrux from YGG, the book. Still going strong, now holding wee espalier apples.
