I have a stew in the oven, and I am going to make biscuits to go with it. Gaylord is coming for dinner, and I just felt like a stew night.
Lots of work in the shop and I have plenty to do. Several dresses to hem, and suits to tailor. Kim will be busy.
Did some housework this morning and ran to the store early before the shop opened to buy a few loss leaders.
Albertsons had ground beef for 3.99 limit 3 lbs. So, I got a package of that. I also needed my cheese stocked. I eat a lot of cheese and crackers.
I pulled a bunch of carrots from the garden to use in my stew. They did really well this year. A fresh carrot tastes just like candy. I also need to pull all my onions. What is funny is that my red onions did so much better than the white. But that is okay as yellow onions are nowhere as expensive as red. I actually just bought my first small sack of onions late summer as I grew enough for almost the entire year.
As S. Morgenstern (The Princess Bride) wrote man's first meal was stew. Plus, on a cold rainy-day stew is just good.
The new chicken coop site on soil and I need to figure out a way to get to it without stepping directly onto the damp clay soil. The clay sticks and pretty soon I am carrying clumps of clay bigger than my shoes. I am thinking, I will lay down pea gravel or some sort of pathway to keep this from happening. Right now, I just have my muck boots on the back porch and change into those when I go down. I can just hose those off. I won't have this problem once it freezes.
Well, I am off to get something done can you believe that?
God is good
Kim
