Yesterday was a Misfits box day, and it arrived in time for my Friday evening salad
which was a welcome supper, easy.
Before that was the library knitting group, which was a huge number, three, one very nice new member deep in making a massive shawl, just right for knitting and chatting.
And I'd mentioned that I couldn't find any blank books at the library booksale, so they loyally searched and came up with a box of them, two of which were exactly right.
Around here, to think is to do, so it's now planted among the herb containers, for a supply of garlic scapes as well as the little pot already growing in the kitchen.
Today I'm planning to bake maslen bread from the Midnight chicken book,
Then I guess I'll take the rest of the day off.
Happy day everyone! Don't overdo. That's my job
That sounds like an enjoyable but busy day ahead.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...
ReplyDeleteDid you throw down a gauntlet in that last sentence?
To be honest, I did not plan to do much today at all but the grocery list has now grown to two sides of the index card.
Love your new blank books.
My husband plans on pulling our garlic today. It is time. And we may have enough to last through the year. We shall see!
Do not overdo, okay?
The bread sounds good. Enjoy your day and fresh baked bread.
ReplyDeleteI don't think garlic should be kept in the fridge, should it?
ReplyDeleteGarlic at base of roses, I read years ago is suppose to help roses stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Garlic Growing!
That’s a busy but interesting day, Boud. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteGreat looking Misfits salad!
I'm not prone to overdoing it; I enjoy being lazy most of the time with rare excursions into busy-ness. I had years and years of making every second count, pushed beyond unreasonable limits. I am still burned out. Now for a little lie-down!
Debra, I think the garlic would agree. But look at it this way: I've never had vampires in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what that garlic does! I once planted a bulb of garlic but it just rotted. I think I put it in the wrong soil.
ReplyDeleteHeavens! You are a busy person. Our day was 'normal' - laiki for fruit and veg (I, the Tigger, went too), a little gardening, laundry and litter box cleaning. Nothing creative or uplifting like your knitting group.
ReplyDeleteWill be interested to see how your garlic grows - might be able to attempt some on our balcony over the rest of the summer. We had a 'visitation' from some critter and Resident Chef was most upset that he has to replant his lettuce and repot a few other things. Suspect a squirrel was at fault.
ReplyDeleteMaslen bread...buttermilk...hmmm, we have an unfortunate quart of soured milk...another Boud inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBanana-walnut buttermilk pancakes today used part of it. I sliced a banana thinly, and after pouring a dollop of batter into the skillet, placed a few slices on the up (raw) side, then sprinkled some chopped walnuts in between. When you flip them so the bananas (and walnuts) are down, they caramelize deliciously.
That's quite a day you had planned for today. Think I'll go resty up after reading about it...:-)

Soured milk is a great leaven, Chris. I use it for hot biscuits, otherwise I sour milk with lemon juice. I don't buy buttermilk. I like the sound of those pancakes.
ReplyDeleteYou just keep going and going...I hope you have a good week!
