interesting food I have recently cooked

- Squash and potato soup, which was a huge hit

- Mild vegetable curry with coconut milk, pumpkin, and apple

- "Breakfast soup" - typically a lentil soup which is nourishing but intentionally a bit sweet and/or bland, so as to be easy on AM digestion - this one included beets and spinach

- Spinach salad with goat cheese, onions cooked in port, and walnuts

We got our last farmshare a few days ago. Not really sure what to do with all those turnips, but I'm definitely going to make my pumpkin soup with gouda cheese with the pumpkins. Yum! Also, I love leeks!

more on walking

Apparently there's a significant amount of interest in my walks, and especially my taking pictures of my walks. I am happy to write more about them. I wrote yesterday that I could start a filter on walking, but I don't need that to be private - it seems kind of silly. I would rather write about my nice walks where everyone can see.

So, on the other side of the coin - is there anyone who objects to my writing about my walking unfiltered?

Anyhow, for now, I'll write about yesterday's walk behind the cut.
