>Well, finals are over! Today is my first real “vacation day” without work or any obligations… and it feels nice! Of course, my house is a bloody mess, [because a procrastinator loves to do anything but study, which includes even housework. I actually had to stop myself from cleaning.], there is a mound of paperwork I need to sort and deal with, and a hefty to do list … but at least I won’t feel guilty that I’m not reading about herbs!
I do plan to do some blogging! I actually made a list of veggies I want to profile for the rest of the year, and have tried to assign them a month based on their seasonal availability:
- April – Asparagus (this post will be here by the end of the week, with pics!!)
- May – Leeks (a nod to the Renaissance Faire)
- June – Eggplant
- July – Zucchini
- August – Tomatoes
- September – Broccoli
- October – Pumpkins (for something other than pie, I promise!)
- November – Winter Squash
- December – Rutabega
Of course, I don’t intend this to become a food blog, but I think it’s important to eat seasonally and locally when possible, and if I ever want to successfully transition into vegetarianism I need to learn to like vegetables! [Even if I only ever have one delicious recipe for each of them ... ]
The next few months are going to be busy! Sam and I are going to Hawaii in July for his brothers wedding; Sean, Sara, and I are planning something big in late August (details to come); I’m writing a murder mystery for my sister Cinder, who just turned 16 last Wednesday; and I have a ton of books to read, people to visit with, and of course, school! Stay tuned … I’ll keep you updated and put lots of pictures of whatever I get myself into.
