Calendula - Son may have Tourette's

Well, I didn't quite get around to making my shampoo bar this weekend *sighs* Oh well, maybe next weekend.

Today is my birthday! I'm 31 today, so I'm officially into my 30's.

Well, over the weekend, I cooked two huge bags of apples and sauced them. The sauce is sitting in a giant pot on my front porch right now, which is colder than the refrigerator. It's been getting very cold here lately. Most of the garden is toast now because we have had a couple hard frosts now. The kale and lettuce are still good though, so I'm still harvesting lots of that.

I made sourdough starter, and it was ready yesterday. I put it in the frig, so I will be making my first-ever loaf of sourdough bread this week. My next adventure will be potato bread!

Last night I made a small batch of spaghetti sauce with some of our garden tomatoes and did it ever smell good! I used basil from my garden and the whole house smelled just wonderful. I wanted to add some Italian sausage to it, but I can't find any that is nitrite free!

And finally, I used the last of the cucumbers that I picked before they died to make some fermented pickles. They are sitting on the counter right now working their magic.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
