Eat your....whites?
I've always been tempted to buy the white asparagus in the store. This week they were on sale, so I brought a bunch home to try out.
Roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper, they were delicious!
Hello! I taste like a milder version of my green brethren. Also, I'm white because farmers deprived me of sunlight. |

Deck farmer
"This is called farming! You kids are gonna grow all kinds of plants! Vegetable plants, pizza plants." ~ Captain from the movie WALL*E
Inspired by a friend's farm and the good weather, hubby and I visited the local supermarket and purchased some gardening supplies and plants. Now we have two new additions to our deck:
Meet our new basil plants and tomato plant. |
Hopefully my black thumb doesn't kill them and we'll be enjoying fresh mozarella and tomato salad with tomatoes and basil from our mini deck garden.

Farming fantasies
I had a wonderful time seeing my college friends this past weekend. We laughed, cried, and ate a whole lot.
This weekend I also fell in love...
with my friend's mom's gentleman's farm. (Gosh, that's a lot of apostrophes.)
Even though hubby and I live in an apartment now, hopefully one day we'll own a plot of land and I'll get to live out some of my farming fantasies. For now I'll practice growing plants on the deck...

*Sigh* So cute |
One of their roosters and his harem of chickens (I ate their eggs for brunch. Delicious!) |
A bunch of thyme growing in their herb garden |
Be still my beating heart- it's a compost pile... |
