Before anything else - the above is the second entry in the 'Full' category. A buttermilk biscuit with homemade turkey sausage, white cheddar and caramelized onions. And on the drums, sweet potato hash patties and maple-cider ketchup. Thank you, Spokane! We are Late Breakfast!
You can do this. You should do it. Do it on a day you want to comfort yourself, or someone close to you. Don't do it the day before you have to see him, her, them or it for the first time since whatever went down. Just take my advice on that one.
But how are you? How is spring treating you? Have you started seeds yet? I remembered to start mine a full week or two later than last year, but they're up and sprouting their first set of real leaves. Teeth should be next. I'll talk more about that soon. Have you, like me, finally purchased a 'Boyfriend' cardigan five decades after everyone else? Let me tell you, worth it. If you like things long, they're perfect. I'm someone who can often wear capris or crops as regular pants, but I have a long torso. So I really love long tops and shirts, sweaters and cardigans. I've just gone into mad detail about my personal length issues, I apologize. OLD NAVY has them for like two bucks and whatever receipts you have in your pockets. Buy them, enjoy them.
Are you busting out of the woodwork, listening to new music, trying Yoga for the first time (INHALE on Oxygen at 6 am. So far, I'm still able to walk so I guess it is legit), painting your face with Satan's Trollop Pigments? Let me know about it. Right now I can't get enough of The Noisettes and Mayer Hawthorne, mustard of all kinds, Sephora's Mr. Lover lipstick and Pacifica's Blood Orange solid perfume. All of that is calming me down.
Recipes to come. I hope all is good. If it isn't, shout it out. We'll form a gang.
Typepad kept me from seeing these comments for ages! I'm sorry I'm late in replying.
Lauren, I thought about a salad table too! I live in Slug Land, and growing them directly in the dirt means I would never get a single bite. Container gardens are so much fun and so easy, and I found that certain things do even better in containers than in the ground - Peppers being one of them. They like to be planted in duos, and their productivity soars. Same with the smaller tomatoes. Did you buy plain potting soil? That is what I used last year, before reading that it was a bum idea, but you know what? All my container plants flourished and produced.
Kat, I wish I knew! I'm not from/in Spokane, just threw that out as as random PNW city. I'm sorry.
TBean, they're so good right now. So long, so so long and soft. I read all the reviews and people are pissed about the lengths of everything, but I LOVE it. And tomatoes - okay, so I bought a few new packets of seeds, a few new kinds and then I was like "I should just see if last year's are viable!" so I started every kind I had, at least 3 seeds of each (a rule I followed, and now wish I hadn't). Now it is crazy. I will only end up planting what I have room for, so like six tomato plants and then give away the extras. I'll post the list of everything I started soon, but Green Zebra is on there, so is Pink Brandywine, most of the stuff I planted last year, and some new ones I'm REALLY excited about - Carbon, which is this big 'black' (smokey purple) tomato, and then this Italian paste called Canestrino/Canestrano. I want to get my sauce on this year.

Missed the posts and the recipes!
I had big plans to do some gardening this spring. Ordered seed books, looked into csa's, thought about getting/making a "salad table" but in the end it looks like I'm just going to try some containers. I bought some tomatoes and lettuce but the wrong kind of soil -not potting mix so heading back to lowes
soon.
I keep trying yoga, it has yet to become a regular thing maybe one day.
