independence days week... 9 i think

1 planted: kentucky wonder green beans beneath my corn and sunflowers

2 harvested: a handful of snap peas, mint for tea

3 preserved: nothing

4 stored: placed a bulk food storage order! 25lb baking soda, 25lb red wheat berries, 25lb garbanzos, 25lb lentils, 1lb thick rolled oats

5 prepped: placed an order for some bucket lids with spouts to see if we can do those perhaps instead of/to supplement gamma lids (which are quite expensive!) also, joined in on sharon's food preservation class which starts next tuesday :)

6 managed: weeded the corn patch

7 cook something new: made a mahvelous mock tuna from garbanzo beans. also blettes grand-mere, which is swiss chard with raisins, rosemary, and pine nuts.

8 work on local food systems: joined the just food mailing list.

9 reduced waste: can't think of anything out of the ordinary here...

10 learned a skill: i don't know that i like this category because i feel like learning is not a "boom. it's done." thing. i can't say "i learned THIS this week," because learning is a long-term process for me. perhaps i'll skip this category from now on.
