The lights inward the sewing room were never turned on yesterday, as well as thus it ended upward an unplanned no sewing day. The morn was pretty good taken upward with my walk with Sue. The trail was thus pretty yesterday, as well as I resisted the urge to accept pictures of every blooming thing. Nevertheless, I did capture a few.
These are wild roses. They are inward flower all along the trail correct now.
These are tiny...about the size of a beebee.
These petty ruddy berries are virtually the size of a beebee too.
In yesterday's post, I alluded to having spent quite a chip of fourth dimension inward the kitchen on Thursday. I was making upward the mixture for Best-Ever Veggie Burgers. We're non vegetarians here, but that doesn't hateful I don't loves me a killer veggie burger every at 1 time as well as again. I was wanting to attempt making my own, as well as this recipe came highly recommended yesteryear our CSA farmers. It's made with canned dark beans, roasted beets, sauteed onions, as well as brownish rice, with other things. The mix was made upward as well as and then refrigerated overnight. (I suspect that improves flavor, but also makes it easier to cast into patties.)
So final nighttime was the nighttime for genuinely eating them, as well as after I got home, I made upward 6 patties to live cooked later.
I layered them betwixt thus many layers of wax paper, as well as and then covered them with plastic wrap, as well as then pose them dorsum inward the fridge to hold off their plough inward a cast atomic reveal 26 skillet.
When that was finished, I happened to human face out the window to run into this petty sh*t having either climbed or jumped upward to our peanut feeder to feast on peanuts.
Gasp! I do believe he's mocking me!
And after that, nosotros had some lunch. I felt a petty tired after lunch, as well as thus set downwardly on the couch for a brusk nap. I mean value I vicious asleep equally shortly equally my caput hitting the pillow, as well as I slept all afternoon! Geez. I hadn't planned on that, but I must receive got needed it. You know nosotros teach going hither at the Three Cats Ranch because in that place is thus much nosotros necessitate as well as desire to do. Then at some point, our batteries run down as well as nosotros autumn over inward a dead sleep.
It was practically dinner fourth dimension when I woke up, which was only fine because I was dying to sink my teeth into this burger. Ours form of vicious apart around the edges as well as ended upward to a greater extent than similar veggie sloppy joes. No matter...they were delicious.
The recipe made 6 patties, as well as y'all belike know how it is when you're trying to separate something upward evenly...cookies, for example. You starting fourth dimension out making them a sure as shooting size. By the fourth dimension y'all teach to the end, you're either making huge ones or tiny petty ones, depending on whether you're trying to stretch out or conserve whatever y'all mixed up. These burgers were no different. The final ones were rather large, as well as this is a LIFO delivery organisation (Last In, First Out). The patties nosotros ate were also the biggest. Anyway...I mean value inward the future, I'll brand them smaller as well as thinner. That powerfulness assist them concord together a petty better. It would belike live possible to teach 8 patties from the mix that way. There are 2 to a greater extent than inward the refrigerator. We'll receive got those inward a 24-hour interval or two. I froze the remaining two. We'll receive got them some other time.
But that's non all I was doing inward the kitchen. I made this Melt-in-your-Mouth Kale Salad too. Even not-fond-of-kale Mike volition swallow this. It's a unproblematic recipe...no frills...but such a delicious means to swallow kale.
Mine was made with golden raisins, parmesan cheese, as well as pino nuts. As 1 of our members pointed out, y'all tin ship away substitute whatever green, whatever dried fruit, whatever nut, as well as whatever difficult cheese inward this. I mean value it would live genuinely practiced made with dried cranberries as well as pistachios too. It's easy, delicious, as well as oh, thus healthy. After dinner, I was having a difficult fourth dimension resisting the urge to saltation tall buildings inward a unmarried bound.
But I didn't...because nosotros were fresh out of tall buildings hither at the Three Cats Ranch, as well as besides, 24-hour interval was done.
So today, there's real petty on the agenda that needs doing. I await I'll pass most of the 24-hour interval inward the sewing room. Todd the truthful cat awaits.
