No CSA. Sadness

Sorry about slacking off for a while.  The CSA we signed up for got cancelled, and I was pretty bummed about that.  I've still been hitting the farmers market for veggies, but I was really looking forward to getting it all from one farm.  Oh, well.  Maybe next year.

We have continued to get local meat and dairy, so that's been a nice change.  We're just about to place another order with Native Meats, and I'm addicted to Happy Cow.  I've started making smoothies with their buttermilk, which have a nice yogurty taste.  I use about half a cup of buttermilk, some frozen fruit, and a spoonful of honey.  It's quite yummy and kind to one's stomach.

Chris and I have expanded our little herb garden to include a few more things.  So now, we have one tomato plant, two jalapeno plants, and the following herbs: parsley, sage, rosemary, lemon thyme, oregano, lemongrass, cilantro, basil, and catnip.  Here's a picture (the tomato plant is in a bucket, which is not pictured)!
