Our garden is really taking off! The tomato plants are 3x their original size and are producing. The peppers are doing really we also. Two or three plants have a pepper. The onions are out of control along with the cilantro, parsley and basil. We are about to get overwhelmed with produce! I love it. The zucchini and yellow squash is also growing well next to the house. There are quite a few flowers on each plant.

Hey there! It’s been a while since I have posted. Sorry. No hockey, no posts usually. I hate being on break. I miss it.
I thought I’d put some images of the lawn and garden. I have planted quite a few things this year including tomato, green pepper, yellow pepper, jalapeno pepper, red onion, white onion, yellow onion, shallot, rosemary, purple basil, sweet basil, parsley, cilantro, garlic chives, zucchini,  yellow squash and garlic, maybe. I can’t wait to start picking!

I did quite a bit of work in the back yard today. I built a new raised bed out of treated lumber and filled it with 40 bags of top soil. Last year, our garden did fairly well, but the crappy soil, clay and rock made it hold water so it flooded. This time around I hope it does well. We’ll begin planting in the new couple of weeks after we pay our taxes!

We won our game tonight 6-3. Our goalie played super well tonight. I was a little slow as usual. One of these days I will need to go to the gym and/or start running again. I really need to lose 30 or so pounds. It was a fun game. No fighting or jerks on the other team.I was out of town, but I guess our team won on Friday and lost Sunday night. One guy was suspended two games. I always miss the fun!
Not a whole lot has been going …

I bought a giant 3 pound potato from Dillons tonight. It took 2.5 hours to bake and threw off our dinner until almost 9 PM. I have no idea why I thought it would be a good idea to try to eat it. LOL. We also had some turkey filets with some fresh green beans sauteed with mushroom, red onion and balsamic vinegar. It was a pretty good meal minus the giant potato that tried to kill me.

Sarah and I made some delcious sushi for dinner tonight. Some of the ingredients we used were ahi tuna, smoked salmon, krab, asparagus, cucumber, shrimp, and avocado. It turned out really well. We did manage to make way too many rolls, about 16. Which is enough for 6 people! We’ll eat the rest for lunch tomorrow. I might sneak a couple more tonight if I get hungry though. We also had some crab & egg drop soup. Sarah and I are extremely stuffed.  After dinner we had some champagne. Great …

HuHot is a new Mongolian BBQ place in town. It is located in the old JBuck’s (we miss you) location at the mall. I had noticed it going in a couple of weeks back and emailed them about the opening. I received an email back about the soft opening tonight. Sarah and I both changed our plans to go and were pretty excited. We got there and it was a mad house. The wait was going to be 90 minutes and 10 minutes to just get our name on the …

Fresh Rosemary from the garden. I wanted to save it before the freeze so I added some sprigs to olive oil with garlic. One of them has whole pepper and coriander. We’ll see how it tastes. I have plenty of rosemary left!
