Today, I was up much earlier than usual, giving a friend a lift to the airport. Then I had some coffee, came home and fell back to sleep, zzzz! Who said farmer rise with the chickens? Not this farmer! We'd better get lazy, late rising chickens in the spring!
Later, we farmers attacked the office. It was time to clear the old files and set up for new farm files. As I was shredding and recycling, I was pondering how to pack a very breakable item. Then Eureka! the shredded paperwork makes awesome packing material, that can then be composted.
Anni and I made noodles this evening with the pasta machine. She loves to make macaroni noodles. She says they look like caterpillars. And speaking of food, we made a great chicken dish for dinner. It was chicken cutlets in a portabello mushroom cream sauce with marsala wine. (We substituted 2% milk for the cream.) The chicken was lovely and saucy, served up with parsleyed potatoes and fresh green beans.
The garden is beginning to call to us. We keep going out and looking at the plots, planning where the veggies will go. We are also considering putting in a couple of fruit trees, a mini orchard. As we know nothing of fruit trees in the Northwest, we are still in the research stage on this one.
