harvesting garlic bulbils.

more miso-inspired soup with radish and carrot kimchi...i lov emaking kimchi!

more harvests.

jambaloney's never-ending jar of pickled peppers - i add to it every 2nd or 3rd day!!!

today it is a little overcast. no worries we made and canned chicken soup. i'll show you all of the stuff we have canned during september.

a little gray and cloudy means jambaloney busts out the sunshine machine and makes us a cocktail:

he's been busy working on his contract, working on the driveway, working in the yard, making mulch, getting 3 of our raised beds amended and ready for fall planting (garlic is done and onions go out tomorrow) - plus all of the other stuff around here that he does - he's a busy guy!

me? i've been petting cats, giving them their daily mcsauges, chasing the man around the yard with a glass of water, feeding cats, making food and generally just loving life.

stay tuned as the next post will contain all of the stuff we have already canned and stuff we plan to can. knowing that you have food to get you through the upcoming winter and knowing EXACTLY what is in that food - ugh. the feeling is of tremendous relief!

jambaloney will have a post coming soon about the work he has done in the driveway - it's pretty impressive!

sending love to you all.
