Happy September!

The 'bers' have arrived even though it was 100 degrees here yesterday and will be hot for quite some time.  September through January is my favorite time of year so I am looking forward to it.  All of the holidays, game nights, comfort food, the cozy house...this is my down time that I always look forward to after a busy and HOT summer.

I buy a lot of my seeds from Heirloom Seeds Shop | Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, and last week I received an email from them offering 25 Saffron Crocus for $21.00 and I decided to give them a try.  They arrived on Friday and I planted 20 in one raised bed and 5 in a large pot to see which does better.  Each crocus will provide three saffron stems to dry and use.  In three or four years the bulbs will need to be dug up and divided so they don't crowd each other out.  I will keep you posted on how this experiment goes.  It would be a good crop to add to one of my retirement plans.

Even though our freezer is pretty full I couldn't pass up this deal from one of our local ranches that I buy beef from.  This is a good deal on beef especially with the quality being so amazing.  I love that they do these specials from time to time to help people out with rising prices on everything.  

Last week I made all of the appointments for things that need taken care of in the next couple of months.  Vet, vents cleaned, HVAC serviced...things like that so that is all off of my to do list finally.  Tomorrow, I have a hair appointment and Saturday we're doing a day trip.  It's a little hard to believe this is Labor Day weekend.  

What we ate...

BIG salad x2

Chicken Tikka Masala with rice and naan

BLT with zucchini fries

TBG requested Fish and Chips again but this time I was out of cabbage, so we had a small salad.  I prefer coleslaw with fish and chips, but it was still good.

Pesto pasta with chicken and a small salad.

I hope everyone is doing well and has a fabulous day!!
