How about a tortilla chip and a drip of hot sauce? After A wee kitchen project on Martin Luther King Day in Bandon… What I’m having.
So…. There’s Tabasco, which is pretty good, aged and stuff like that, right? Well this sauce is excruciatingly fresh.
One of these will go and become our “Pastor’s Personal Pepper Preparation” sauce.
Picked a peck (and a half) of peppers yesterday, the last of the 2017 crop. 5-6 Pounds. There are still lemons on the Meyer, celery, lots of Swiss chard and spinach. Time to clean up the pepper beds and plant for winter: beets, carrots, arugula, lettuce. Experiment with Fall-planted Beefeater tomatoes: they have blossoms on them, but not looking too robust. Hopefully sunshine next couple of days will give ’em a boost! Thanks for stopping by!
Peppers and Lemons still coming off in the greenhouse. Such luxury!
Picked a few lemons — many more to come. Prepping plenty of Peppers for freezing. Olives produced fruit this year, but may not quite push it out. Grapes also produced edibles at last! Greenhouse yielding lots of Swiss chard, spinach, peppers, arugula; need to replant, but waiting for the peppers to finish on the sunny south side. 7 Beefeater tomatoes 18” high and holding their own in these short days — a first-time winter experiment.Warmest Holiday Wishes to all Family & Friends!!
It’s great that in the Winter months at this latitude, you don’t actually have to get up so stinking early that it hurts, to catch a sunrise. Kristin’s photo. What a beauty. ~ David
The rest of the story. I had just been listening to Joyce Meyer’s encouraging words: “Something good is going to happen today!” The language and assurance of Hope. At that moment, all I thought was, “Maybe there will be a stunning sunrise?” And a few moments later, there it was! ~ kristin

We wondered, having seen vines on the fence at the community garden in Coos Bay … so, with minimal effort…
Wow, they are so good!
Peaches, blackberries and raspberries over porridge with nuts and black coffee. What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Gardening in Bandon has its benefits …amazing!
Wow! Awesome lunch!
Tasty combo, hey? Has a nice ring to it anyhow… Went blueberry picking this week at Valentine’s ranch with my friend Donna. We learned that a spring hailstorm had seriously damaged the berry blossoms, so the picking season would be curtailed. Nonetheless, I picked 12 lbs, Donna 17! Yesterday it was time to pull the Elephant Garlic and the “Big Beef” tomato plant in the greenhouse had to be relieved of some fruit. Fortunately I have a friend who loves fried green tomatoes; funny, it never occurred to me that green tomatoes aren’t generally available commercially — ya gotta know someone!
