Day to Day Life: Week Thirty-Two

A look at the last week:

Our garden is apparently quite happy… it’s dumping out a supply of veggies daily.

Soyrizo fried rice for brunch one morning.

One of my pet peeves: packing the wrong shoes to put on after working out + showering at the gym. Hellooo so many stripes…

Went to listen to my husband read a short story he had published recently and perform a newly written song as part of a local literary event.

We waited really patiently for this mango to ripen just right… so worth the wait.

Zucchini “noodles” aren’t new, but I had never made them before. While the flavor of this “pasta” was impeccable, the consistency didn’t work for me. Things got soupy. I haven’t given up yet…

Family scrabble night with Nana. Silas and I were a team (and whopped everyone, hah… P.S. I inherited competitiveness from all sides…). YOU tell me what “girltax” is other than a term that comes from your creative writing teacher husband. And ahem pardon the termĀ slut that a certain 9-year-old was eager to play.

Hi, bird! We let our crippled pigeon fly around the house throughout the day. She likes to fly into whatever room I am in… sometimes that is more hazardous than other times. Today she has landed on my head twice and needed a quick mid-air detour from the kitchen twice.

When you walk to the grocery store early in the morning, you see a number of things… Like deer grazing in a neighbor’s yard…

And weird objects in a “FREE” box.

And the abundance of pesto is always a good excuse for this pesto mushroom pie.

Late summer Ashland evenings…

My pole bean plants have been climbing straight into the sky and I’ve yet to harvest a single bean!

A small abundance of apricots that were leaning towards being too ripe meant apricot + pecan scones this morning.
