So there's the same pepper you saw last week, as it appeared yesterday. Don't get excited... we ate it last night. I had some shredded pork in the freezer, so I fried up the pepper with some onions and made homemade flour tortillas from a recipe on the back of a 25lb. bag of flour. Awesomely delicious. I think this is also the first time I made flour tortillas where I wasn't completely disappointed with the thickness when they were cooked. Let me put it this way... you could see through the dough a little bit when I was done rolling them out. I think the proper term is "paneing" as in a window pane. Also, I may or may not have used rendered bacon fat in the dough instead of the listed shortening. Ahem.
I'm on my last square for a comfort project for a friend who survived a disaster. After that the crafting for the Etsy shop begins again in full earnest. Today, however, is Mom's Day Off. I have plenty of posts on the subject (okay, I know of two) but I did want to get these thoughts down today before I blinked and realized yet another week had passed.
I'm already looking at plants for fall planting and harvest (brassicas, mostly... that's your cabbage, broccoli, etc.) and deciding if I'm digging a new bed for garlic. Garlic is a little... committed. And I was strangely reluctant to actually use last year's crop. It was just so pretty once it'd been cured and braided.
The teenager starts back to school on Monday. So now I'm going to have to start setting my alarm and (gasp) setting the parental time controls on the internet so she's not up until 2am. But I will have uninterrupted days with the dogs again. If only I could send those crazy kids off to school, too. Especially the shoe chewer.
