I preserved my citrus and Meyer lemon harvest by making limoncello, salted lemons, candied lemons and limes, dehydrated lemons and limes, and a citrus simple syrup.

I’m wearing mustard color socks in recognition of the long standing annual White Christmas viewing with a group of friends. We sing along, perform along, and hand gesture along with important parts of the movie. Snow, snow, snow, snow!

Preserving my lemon harvest: making limoncello using the grated rinds, juice will be frozen and used for lemon meringue pie and lemon curd.
A bunch are still green - going to let them ripen and may make preserved lemons.

Turkey pot pie day success, except for my poor representation of a dog and cat. At least it was easy and tasty. Leftover turkey, refrigerated pie dough, leftover gravy, frozen veg, bobs your uncle!

Had a lovely Thanksgiving. I’ve got Turkey dialed in with a buttermilk brine. And my family really brings it with the appetizers! I made the sheet pie dish

My Meyers lemon tree is having its best year. The trick is to cover the young fruit with cotton tea bags before the evil grackles start pecking at the tasty rind, introducing rot to the fruit.

My silly friend Aaron sent me a holiday gift package - years supply of black olives and salted caramels!

#cloverdammit is obsessed.

My mild habanero harvest preservation! I added garlic, carrots, and some mild peppers and then did a lacto-fermentation for one month, frequently checking to make sure ph was low. Blended, added some salt and vinegar. Tastes pretty good, not ridiculously hot.

My Hell Strip 5+ years after removing the grass and replacing it with perennials. Lots of plant did not work (droughts, snowpocalypse), but Gopher Plants and Black Dalea don't care what nature throws at them.
