I have been trying to

06-14-02

I have been trying to use Movable Type to set up a calendar of events for Back Street Blues that the owner can edit himself. I am so excited about this - because if it works, I can use it for Instant Karma, Nassau / Queens Drum and Dance and who knows what else. So I stayed up late last night trying to work it out - working from home is hard. Aidan went to bed early but woke up and had to be nursed back to sleep repeatedly. Friends called, family called. I was up til 2 and got very few actual work hours in. Aidan woke up at 6am, having gone to bed pretty early, and played on and around me before gently insisting that I get up around 7. I am exhausted - the kind of tired where your belly feels a little queasy. I am really excited about working this thing out though, and so I'll probably be up late and bleary eyed tonight again.

I am meeting the seller's realtor at the land tomorrow and he is going to show me where the borders are. Jes is going to come too. Maybe we'll take some pics - though its just woods, I don't think the pics will be really interesting.

We went and picked up our first CSA share today. Does anyone know what you do with turnips? They are small - not like the ones we have for Thanksgiving. How bout radishes? They are long - not like the little round ones at the grocery store. The produce is all so pretty, I can't stand the thought of it going bad in the fridge because I don't know what to do with it. Aidan and I also picked strawberries in the mud. Aidan refused to eat any at first (like he does with most fruits and vegetables) but eventually he tasted one and then started eating so many that I became a little self conscious! Then he just stopped and was ready to go to the car. Funny guy.

Christy re: the vegetables. Try visiting allrecipes.com. I will also look in my Vegetarian cookbook and see what is there. Are the radishes white or red? Kay

Turnips are vary good with greens-turnip or collards. Just boil them with the greens and season. Radishes are usually used in salards sliced. I have seen some use them in soups. Love, Mom

Yes, cook the the greens and turnips together. Buddy likes them with hot sauce we make from peppers he has grown. Love, Mom

Working from home IS hard! I want very badly to rent office space, but since I'm about to go on "maternity leave", I'd be paying rent for four months of not using it. Doesn't make much sense. And things are so expensive here in the city. My nights sound like yours, up late, trying to get Gabe in bed and stay there, waking up resistantly... and now I have another on the way! Don't suppose its going to get any easier ;)

The radishes are red - I grated one and had it in a salad and then ate one plain. The turnips have the greens on them and they are pretty! so I can just cook up the whole thing? Cool.
