Blogging has taken a back seat with me since I do most of my communicating on Facebook these days, but occasionally I think of something I want to keep a record of in my blog. I am experimenting with fermenting food and different methods of preserving food since it looks like I just might start getting some fruit and hopefully veggies from my garden and orchard. <br /><br />I love pillow you did for your sister! I'm sure she enjoyed it as well.fernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574438827016571137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137877143912725709.post-75811360304306967992016-01-28T08:09:21.842-08:002016-01-28T08:09:21.842-08:00Thank you!

It was a hectic year and I did do some traveling; went to Zion National Park, the Pacific Northwest and then a few days in Chicago Illinois. This year I hope to go to a few more National Parks and maybe Nova Scotia if the money allows. I promise to come by your blog and post soon. Thank you so much for checking in on me!

I slice the eggplant lengthwise and coat with a generous amount of olive oil, place cut-side down on a sheet pan with more oil and then roast at 400 degrees for anywhere from 25-40 minutes depending on the size of the eggplant. Remove them when rich brown on the cut side. I sometimes serve them just like this with some minced garlic, salt and toasted french or italian bread. Also these are really good topped with a good tomato sauce, even jarred sauce and then some sort of pasta along side.

It was only .18 but we take what we can get, and the plants all look so happy this morning. We had one more little shower around 5 AM which is going to keep the humidity high again. That's okay with me! We need moisture and the plants benefit from that as well. Thank you for your visit.

The rule of thumb here is not to plant until after Mother's Day to avoid threat of killing frost. So we will get with it next week; although we have had a lot of rain with more to come.
