Seedlings hardening off on my front stoop, where they are shaded and relatively protected.
- Plant something: transplanted and started hardening off all my tomato seedlings, using whatever containers I could find.
- Harvest something: a couple handfuls each of sorrel, chives and some spinach that self-sowed from last year
- Preserve something: nope
- Waste not: soup from chicken carcass
- Want not: not in any way food related, but I stocked up on glass for Sundrops – the stained glass store was having a sale
- Community food systems: supported a friend’s unexplored interest in canning by giving them some home-canned jalapeno jelly.
- Eat the food: jalapeno-roasted chicken for the last day of my mother-in-law’s visit (using jalapeno mush leftover from making jalapeno jelly last fall), salad made using the greens harvested (I cut the sorrel into little ribbons, since it has a pretty strong flavor), and Laotian Turkey Soup from the chicken carcass – just the thing for my week of sniffles and coughing.
