A Treat for the Taste Buds

We cannot go wrong with homemade leek and potato soup and rosemary focaccia. A dinner to please anyone's taste buds.

 

Sunday Supper

Sunday supper was a special treat - homemade cream of pumpkin soup with fresh biscuits. Yum!

 

A Special Visit

When Uncle Brian and Harper come to visit, we have to pack in all the fun! From handpicked Newfoundland marsh berry pancakes for breakfast, to a ruby red sunset at dusk, and everything in between - it was a Saturday to remember.

Greens Galore!

Our garden is still producing gloriously green lettuces and rows of spinach. These hearty greens survive the early fall frosts just fine. Given the price of greens in the grocery store, I am so happy to still be harvesting from our kitchen garden.

Stew Season

Chilly nights and warm, sunny afternoons make it the best time of year for stew. Tonight's meal is a delicious venison stew, full of turnips and kale from our autumn garden. Perfection.

Sunday's Catch Makes Wednesday's Supper

 

Ian massive Sunday afternoon catch turned into a delicious Wednesday night supper. Pike fish cakes with homegrown spinach salad and baked Long Island Cheese squash drizzled with maple syrup. Yum!

Chickens in Charge

Me: Your egg plan expires this week.

Kerry: Can I renew? Don't your chickens stop laying this time of year?

Me: Actually the chickens are laying great. Renew away!

Kerry: Sending EMT now.

Chickens: Ba-ha-ha-ha.

We dropped from 22 eggs per day last week to 4 eggs per day this week. The brown egg layers have stopped completely. It is very clear who is in charge around here. It is not me.
