The garden survived! The grasshoppers did their damage, and we haven't gotten rid of them, but so far (fingers crossed) they haven't developed a taste for tomatoes, zucchini, or our ripening winter squash. They're even leaving the basil alone!
Katey and I spent a week traveling to Michigan to have our second reception. Along the way, we saw some beautiful things: we made stops in Duluth, Amnicon Falls State Park, Camp Baldy, Palms Book State Park (home of the largest natural spring in Michigan), Petoskey, and Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. It was a fantastic trip.
We ate out at almost every meal - and we're feeling it now. Getting back to our simple, garden-based diet is a welcome change. When we got home, we were greeted with about 40 ripe tomatoes, several LARGE zucchinis, and a couple of ripe potimarron squash. We also harvested our potatoes and onions.
Last night, we had a vegetarian meal with a few friends. We had white beans with garlic, pureed and served on a crispy flatbread, fried zucchini pancakes with diced tomatoes, peppers, and onions on top, spaghetti alla carbonara (minus the pancetta), and a salad with homemade buttermilk ranch dressing. All in all, pretty good.
On a side note, we're now making our own butter. If we only had a cow...
