7 lbs of greens, picked, blanched and frozen. That was my tasks for Sunday evening, while I was waiting for the cheese cake to cool; Steve's request for Father's Day! A raspberry cheese cake with chocolate crust and berries sauce on top. Fresh berries picked Saturday morning: blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries cokked for 5 minutes with 1/4 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of Triple Sec and a bit of corn startch to thicken. Yummy! The entree was rib steacks with ancho chile rub, steamed broccoli (picked in the am) with lemon vinaigrette, and fresh garden salad, including radishes, lettuce and cucumbers from our garden. How do you spell FIBER! :)
We took a short excursion on the motor cycle this weekend and discovered a very nice surprise. We always wondered why many of our neighbors had boats! Their ponds weren't big enough to hold them that's for sure. But on our short ride we discovered we live very close to Hillsdale Lake and State Park. Wow! It's beautiful! Full-service camping area, quite large marina and shelters for large crowd gatherings! Steve is very excited and now wants a new toy! A boat!
Steve worked very hard this weekend as well He installed our 250 gallon water tank to the north side of the barn, made a spicket, at the bottom, ready for a drip line hose and now when it rains, all the rain draining on the north side of the barns will fill the tank. The way it's been raining, one good rain should do it, but it will help the gardne a lot. Drip lines will run right out to the garden where my corn and pumpkins pathc is. This area is the hardest to reach by the other rain barrels.
