Building Beds and C Movies

Today, we took a trip to the local hardware store for materials for our first raised garden bed. We found some untreated lumber in the odds and end bin for the right price and also found several bags of organic mulch and garden soil. Tomorrow, I build the bed.

Alex was off to Shakespeare camp again this week. He's been reciting his lines as Romeo all evening. Anni is in Science and Tech camp. She's learning all about mammals. Ari is brain deep in her college presentation and final. I'm zipping them all around in the blue Prius we've nicknamed Birdie.

Today, we barbequed up the oysters from the farmer's market with a big salad and the pasta, also from the market. "Hmmmm!" said David, Anni, & me. Alex and Ari said, "Yuck! Ocean boogers!"

Here's my recipe for a great BBQ sauce for oysters:

Your fav. BBQ sauce 1/2 cup

Lemon juice 1/2 lemon squeezed

Hot pepper sauce 3 dashes

Mix well and put a tsp on each oyster as they open.

Tonight instead of watching a Hollywood blockbuster, we watched "The Natural History of Chickens." It was hysterical!
