We’re still adjusting to being back from our visit to The Farm. Visits are always an adventure and this was no exception.
I’ll be posting on our visit soon, including the well water pump follies. [Two days, eight people, no water. How is it that we still had so much fun?]
Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out what to do with the relatively small amount of produce, etc. we loaded into the back of our van:
Red and gold potatoes
Garlic
New Mexico chilies (medium)
Hungarian wax peppers (hot)
Watermelon (probably for the after-game snack at Saturday’s soccer game)
Apples
Blueberries (flash frozen since I missed the season)
Strawberries (flash frozen extras from the end of the season)
Peaches (plus cooked peach mash)
Raspberries (kids helped pick)
Pole beans (probably for stir fry)
Green beans (already cooked with a ham hock)
Gourds (will likely prompt an early fall display)
Mums (already on the front porch)
Plus, we still have a ton of veggies from the King’s Hill Farm CSA. Looks like this week will be just as much about food storage as cooking/eating.
I still haven’t had a chance to upload my photos from our trip. The pix above are from the 4-H Champ, who got a Farm delivery on our way back to Chicagoland.
