We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat…
If you’ve kept up with us on Twitter, you know we had a massive gardening day last week. It left us with tons of fresh produce strewn across the table on our back porch, and a day full of food preservation. We froze food, we dehydrated, we canned. And we were STILL left with three…

Cha Cha Boochee, Roll Call!
We are so jazzed about our garden this year!!! No lie, we may have gone a little crazy. It’s nice having a landlord that doesn’t really care what’s in our planters so long as it looks nice and the place is taken care of, because we may have cleared out massive chunks of planting spaces…

Finch Feeding!
I don’t see em at the bird feeder in front of the kitchen window too often, but a couple of finches stopped by for a snack this morning! I’m digging the mosaic quality shooting a cameraphone pic through the window screen gave this one:

Let’s Get Quichey!
Love that Real Simple cookbook Josh’s mom Carole gave us – here’s the quiche I made for dinner! What’s neat about this dish is it was made up of lots of stuff we grew ourselves. The onions, basil, and eggs all came from our backyard garden, and holy cow this thing was delicious! We had this…

Let’s Get All Top Chef Up In Here!
A few weeks ago we started getting tons of tomatoes from the dozen or so plants we have growing in the back and front yards – to the point where I got all Martha Stewart and tried my hand at canning em so they wouldn’t go bad before we ate em! But then, as we…

Backyard Garden Bounty!
We’ve started seeing awesome results from some of our backyard garden! Corn, jalepenos, onions, tomatoes, garlic – it’s all there and accounted for! I say awesome results from some of our backyard garden because other crops have not faired as well… Chickens, I’m looking in your direction when I say our strawberries and broccoli have…

I’M GONNA EAT YOU!!!
last night, i let our dogs out for the last time before bed at around 10:30. and as i was letting them in, i thought to myself “self, you should go outside and close that chicken coop door.” and the exact same time i thought it, i walked into the bedroom and crawled into bed.…

the ladies are ready for their close-up…
Our flock of chickens were nice enough to pause for photos yesterday! (Mostly because I was nice enough to put out that tray of food while they were runnin’ around the backyard…) One of the Doublemint Twins high-tails it for her car – no paparazzi please! Lady Cluckington proves the science fact that if you…
