The End of Summer

We swam in the pool for a little while this evening. If it isn’t the last swim, it’s definitely the next to last swim. I feel like I’ve been cheated out of swimming this summer–too many cool nights, too much school, not enough time. Ah, well, there’s always next summer.

Today I washed all the peppers that I’ve picked over the last week and they are now in freezer bags getting really, really cold. After I rinsed them, I laid them out on the kitchen table to dry. The tabletop was nearly covered. I should have taken a picture. If not of the table, then of the crisper drawer they were sitting in. A ridiculous number of peppers. We’ll be infusing more vodka, making more chili oil and figuring out other mischief with them.

We’re planning on planting a Fall/Winter garden. We’ve never done that before but went through the master gardener book the better-half has from his time as an undergraduate. You can’t go to Va Tech and never take an Ag class…old book, fresh advice. We can’t do anything until Wednesday so hopefully we’ll be able to either find seeds or plants and then put them in by the weekend.

We’re making this for dinner tonight. Better hop to it since it’s nearly 7.

    I’ll be curious to hear about your fall garden. I’ve never done that before either.
