Sunday
Tony is sick, which is always a joy. Every ten minutes he wants me to verify that he is running a temperature. I didn't get much done this weekend, too much time spent watching the French Open. I'm still stunned at Rafa's loss. Just goes to show, we all have our off days! I've been meaning to start a whole bunch of seed blocks for the last several weekends and did not get around to it AGAIN! My goal of best vegetable year ever is slipping away. The tomatoes, beans and peas are doing great, but I've used up all my radishes and have not replanted those. My carrots and beets did not take at all. The komatsuna mom gave me grew like gangbusters - I've used a lot of it in salads and stir fries and even made a pesto sauce for Saturday night's halibut, but it just grew faster than I could use it and I had to pull it all out yesterday because it was bolting. The green chard is doing well. I must seed block this weekend!!!!!
I made Tyler Florence's Ultimate Teriyaki Chicken last night and it was delicious. Also made a vegan Southern Style Smothered Cabbage recipe that I pulled out of the chronicle a few weeks ago and it was fabulous. I've really been into sauteed cabbage lately. Cheap, plentiful, easy and tasty!
I always love the way the house looks from the back. You'd never guess from back here that this was in the Oakland neighborhood that it's in. So peaceful back there, especially in the early evening.
