Productivity
We had a very productive, if busy, weekend.
Friday, took Cordy to be groomed. This is a fabulous thing. She looks so pretty now. :) And the place moved so it's even closer and more convenient.
Also did the grocery shopping and made pizza crust dough (including extra that I froze for dinner this week). My pizza was divine: pesto, faux chicken, semi-carmelized onions, sundried tomatoes and an Italian cheese blend. Yummy!
Saturday, we ran errands in the rain, hitting Target (for gloves and dog treats), Wild Oats (failed search for Tuno - cannot find it anywhere!) and Half-Price Books (semi-sucessful search for an exersize dvd) prior to a run to a couple liquor store (in a failed search for macadamia nut liqueur for a drink recipe we found in a library book). We also made five different types for spiced nuts as practice for the holidays (I'm not baking this year, just making candy - more bang for the buck, and Jeff helps with the candy). Did random around-the-house stuff before walking up the block to see Serenity at Studio 35.
Sunday was the cooking day. I made Kaylee's food, carmelized some onions, made granola bars (second try - not working out so well), made dog treats and made tomatillo-rice stuff with the almost-the-last tomatillos from the garden.
We also dug up the damned cannas. Six boxes. We had three when we chucked 'em in the ground in the spring. We're pondering treating them like surplus zucchini and just leaving them on peoples' unlocked cars and front porches. And I repotted and brought inside the remainder of the herbs. In addition the the bananas and palm tree, our dining room now houses cilantro, basil, mint, thyme, garlic chives, rosemary and flat-leafed parsley (I know you'd love it if I shared, buns, but I don't think they'd survive the needed plane ride all nice and fresh!).
I have a list of stuff that didn't get done, including planting bulbs, but hey, we still accomplished a lot!

5 And you thought...
Bummer...
Hmm... maybe a local garden center will take them.
You are reminding me of so much I have to get done outside! My tomato plants are still producing tomatoes and flowers, but it's too cold and they are icky! I have my lavender I should bring in, but never did before and it should be okay. I have weeding, etc.
How did the nuclear study go??????
BTW, Target now carries the organic duckie crackers you sent Elena! I was able to pick up a few containers last night.
Wow! You were indeed a busy person this weekend! Now to find time to do the rest! lol
