Circumstances have been conspiring against blogging—and cooking for that matter.
- The Rolling Prairie season has ended.
- The weather has been gorgeous and therefore demanding my time outdoors.
- I’ve been doing election campaign volunteer work during times I usually would be blogging.
Nothing to do about the end of the CSA deliveries except to wait for next year. Sigh. I’ve been getting the Rolling Prairie produce for so many years, you’d think I’d be better at the transition back to the supermarket for produce, but I’m not. Maybe I’ll see what’s available at the Farmers Market tonight. At the moment, my refrigerator is bereft of fresh vegetables except carrots, and I have only a few apples left. (I’ll have to tell you the disposition of the other apples in another post.)
Nothing to do about the weather, either, except to enjoy it while it lasts.
The election campaigns, mercifully, are in their final hours. I will go work for a couple of hours today and then keep myself busy and away from the television and radio until this evening, when there will be nothing more I can do about it, either. Perhaps starting tomorrow I’ll be thinking more about food and cooking. Fortunately, I like cooking and eating dried beans, so I expect I’ll be able to feed myself regardless of the outcome.

I, too, am laying low. I’m thinking in terms of bread, cheese, apples and time with a novel.
On the Eastern Seaboard, the day was mild. It’s good apple weather here, and I am thriving on Macouns.
I’m deeply curious about the disposition of your remaining apples.

Hey Janet…I’ve still got apples…will be glad to share! I spent 15 hours as a poll supervisor Tuesday. Felt like I’d dropped off the face of the earth. Took off Wednesday. Ate, slept, strolled thru the dog park enjoying the fall grasses and berries. Between the outcome of the election and a nice day off, I’m fully recovered with apples still plentiful. Great lunch “dessert”.

Oh, dear. I’m afraid my apple disposition isn’t very exciting, Seanan, but I will post about them. Meanwhile, I bought more and, yes, Susan they are a great lunch dessert. Pretty good as an appetizer, too! :)
