Haying

You may know that work around the property is part of how I pay for my stunning house parking spot here. This year I helped with the haying as part of that. We had an amazing hot dry stretch of 12 days in a row (after six weeks of rain that helped all the grass get super tall) that let all the hay get baled and put up in beautiful condition. And then a huge downpour about an hour after the last bales came out of the field. It was so nice to watch the lightning, wind, and rain and know the hay was done!

Big Cooking

Several people have said since I mention that I cook in my big tiny house kitchen a lot, they are curious what kind of stuff I make? Really, it varies a lot with what's in season and how much time I have to cook that day. But this was dinner last night. 

Above are the fruit, veggie, and beef kabobs that I grilled. I have a small grill that I normally use for car camping trips, but it is also the only grill I have, so it gets used at home (outside) as well. The weather is really warm here, so outside cooking and finger food sounded like a good plan.

Then I made a rhubarb custard pie. I normally cook almost totally gluten and dairy free due to some food intolerance's I and a few of the other folks I cook for have, but this specific pie was a special request from a friend.

Pickled Danish Christmas cabbage is an amazing sweet and sour and spicy way to eat red cabbage which makes a great side dish. I really love this stuff!

And the kabobs after they came off the grill. So here's one example of my cooking. If I have time and remember to snap some photos, I'll add more meals in the future.
