End of the Growing Season

Since last week was the last farmer's market in town, I stopped by the farmer's market to get a few things I knew the farm wasn't growing this year, namely tomatillos and brussel sprouts. I am always so amused by buying brussel sprouts by the stalk.

Last week was also the last CSA pick-up. I am really sad to see the season end. I will miss everyone a lot as the days get darker. We are still furiously canning stuff to preserve the last of this season's harvest. This last pick up was a little light, but that was our fault for picking it up somewhat later in the day.

• bunch of carrots
  
• bunch of spinach
  
• red leaf lettuce
  
• romaine lettuce
  
• half dozen eggplants
  
• a pint of sunchokes
  
• a quart and a half of hot peppers

Surprise!

Ren Faires

( Ren Faire Meme )

This weekend, Tab and I headed out to the NH Ren Faire (front page works, but other pages broken) with allenswitch. And I have to ask, why do we bother with King Richard's? Needless to say we had lots of fun. Tab came home green (face paint) and with pirate treasure. It was cold and blustry, but my linen petticoat rocks. I was really tired by the end, but it was good to get out for a few hours. I am under some intense time pressure on my thesis, and things are getting more than a bit insane. If you don't hear much from me for a bit this is why.
