The Ice Man Cometh...

This is for the cousins. We love skating! Thank you for teaching us. Here is the first lesson. By the end of the lesson, they were doing the 'hockey pokey'. They can't wait for their next lesson.

Walrus Salad

What is this delicious looking concoction? If you guessed Walrus salad, you would be correct. Santa brought my girl a cookbook for Christmas. She made an orange round salad the other day for a snack. Today she made the Walrus salad. If you are interested, it has almonds, yogurt, apples and celery in it. I know, it sounds suspiciously like another famous "W" salad.

Winter Vegetables

It has been raining lately, so this is the first opportunity to get out and harvest the garden. The broccoli actually turns dark purple when cooked. The turnips will be in tonight's dinner. I wonder if I can sneak them past the kids, if I mix them in with the potatoes.

Not Quite Marathon Man

...but close

winter harvest

Roasted some of our vegetables.

Turnips ok. Radishes ok. Carrots good.

Garden overview


Crazy carrot (I suppose this is what they mean when they say clay soils will make a carrot fork, although you can't really tell in the picture. But believe me, it's a crazy looking hand in staid of a normal carrot)


Turnips. Notice how I didn't thin them.


Purple brocoli.

Turkey

Notice it is not turkey jerky. If only the rest of the family will join the space age and get ovens that make it impossible to ruin a turkey.
