I bet your greens and broccoli ARE loving the cooler weather.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of going ahead and starting our "winter local eating routine" as well. I'm pretty excited, I just hope we don't have to buy too much from the "regular" grocery store, or too much beyond our goals for eating locally. This is a learning experience, so any difficulties we have this year will help us prepare better for next year.<BR/><BR/>We LOVE the Spicy Kidney Bean and Sweet Potato Burritos, it is more of a "winter food" due to its heartiness as well as the fact that local sweet potatoes aren't available here until fall.<BR/><BR/>Hahaha, well we got pummeled this weekend. It was looking pretty good, but our opponent made some moves for new players that really hurt us. But luckily, the team that was behind us had a tie game this week, so the "playoffs" aren't out of our reach quite yet. I love it too.<BR/><BR/>I KNOW! I was so excited, this vendor hadn't been there at all this season until last week. You'll have to let me know how they turn out with agave! I bet they will be good. I am going to be working with agave more in the future as I have a huge container to use up, but after that, I will probably be getting the local honey, as, well, it is local, and I don't have an ethical or environmental problem with it.<BR/><BR/>Oh eggplant, sigh, I miss summer already. I wish it was an eggplant.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-69066443440266318102008-11-10T15:20:00.000-06:002008-11-10T15:20:00.000-06:00it got cooooold here, too! down to 34 this morning...it got cooooold here, too! down to 34 this morning - brrrrr! our kale, cabbage, broccoli plants are loving it though! ahahaha! i think the move to stick with The Root Cellar and Uprise Bakery instead of the market next week is a good idea, especially since there aren't many vendors. good call! <BR/><BR/>hooray for the vibrant hungarian wax pepper! you had more of the kidney beans 'n sweet potato burritos?! mmmmmmmmmm! i've still gotta try those yummies out! <BR/><BR/>you are kicking ass in some fatasty football, Jennifer! hells yeah! that rocks so hard! i love football, too - and i'm with ya on the except for the trash talking, off-field stuff, and violence. i guess that's what we get (unfortunately) from a bunch of boys playing a competative game. but the games are just sooo much fun to watch! i love it! <BR/><BR/>Missouri-grown pecans?!

Brett and I had tacos last night (which I will post about later this week) and after eating, we went outside and noted how odd it was to have just eaten garden tomatoes when we are all bundled up!<BR/><BR/>It was a fun day. I'm looking forward to a less busy weekend next week though - especially with the holidays coming up!<BR/><BR/>Made About Udon - Haha, thanks. And thanks, it was happy gardening!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-291382103295065622008-11-08T18:51:00.000-06:002008-11-08T18:51:00.000-06:00Whoo hoo, great vegetable stash!
