Tomorrow, another visit with the oncologist to see what the results of the testing say – hopefully, there will be results and this won’t be another trip into town for nothing. Today, though: planning. Planning for next season and next year. This afternoon, I managed a tour around the rear garden to see the pitiful state [...] Yesterday was the visit with the oncologist to go over the pathology report and to decide on what course we should take now that I’ve been fileted and stitched back together. One out of two isn’t bad. The pathology report says the margins are clear, the lymph node is unremarkable, and so forth, just as we’d heard [...] Why must people be so freaking rude? Let’s assume some things here: let’s assume you’ve been a client for quite some time, that you know how we operate, that every single issue you’ve ever raised has been addressed, and that we’ve gone outside the normal bounds of technical support to assist you. Let’s assume that [...] I am certain that my half dozen faithful readers are wondering what cliff I fell off, given my complete lack of maintenance here on ye olde blog front. What, they ask, is she doing? Lolling around, eating bonbons, instead of planting things, cooking goodies, and the like? I’m not much on bonbons. At least for myself, [...] If you were not here for the big bash, you not only missed the pleasure of my company – what’s not to love about the cook, after all? – but you also missed out on on a good time and all of this. Would you like a closer look? Of course you would! Pulled pork, fresh rolls, [...] But not in a bad way. Allow me to explain. Over the Memorial Day weekend, we held a bash that (quite naturally) included a great deal of food. More on that later. A portion of that was some fish we had been keeping aside for some pescatarian friends of the family, ready to stuff with herbs [...] Just fine, thanks. Snap (green) beans, lima beans (ugh), and a test round of shelling peas. The latter are unlikely to make it, as today was yet another 90+ degree day., and the trend looks to be continuing through the week. I had originally intended these frames to hold the corn once more, and had carried [...] I pulled the peas today – both the sugar snaps and the snow peas. It’s difficult to pull up plants that you’ve fed and watered and looked after and babied for months, but you do have to know when it is time (or past time) to take them out and send them on their way to [...] Since my life is so utterly interesting between work and….work, I figured a bit of catching up is in order. The summer brought us harvests of all sorts of things. Goodies The weather played havoc with everything, as it was an incredibly strange season. No corn, some tomatoes, lots of cucumbers, beans, peas, and so forth. The [...] It’s funny how things sneak up you. For instance, for the past week I’ve been noticing a strange thing about the cucumbers, and have found more than a few tiny cukes withering on the vine, pale yellow and sickly when they had been a vibrant green when they had appeared as the first non-pea, non-bean [...] |
