In the past few weeks I’ve been frustrated by the way the days have slipped by. Today, however, with a bit more “day of rest” in mind, Sydney and I had a lovely day. After church we dropped by Purity ice cream (church ran late, we had to close up the church, and by then I was ready to eat my seatbelt) and then came home, where we made potato-tomato casserole. This casserole, by the way, is one of the first recipes Sydney made in his adult life, one that he tried out in our shabby apartment the summer before we got married. I think he actually designs his garden with this casserole in mind, ensuring that we’ll have ingredients for it at all times. It’s that good.
We ate the casserole while balancing our plates and reclining in the hammock in our yard. We fed little bits to the chickens (who love digging in the wood chips under the hammock), I read aloud a chapter of an interesting book, and we took a bit of a nap in the sunshine.
We’re now cooking. Yes, I know it’s well past supper time, but I asked Sydney to make a borscht (to use up the cabbage that’s hogging our fridge) and he asked me to try making beet carob cake. You know, like chocolate cake with a bit of beet in it. I’ve seen this recently. We’ll see how it goes!
