WEATHER: Very pleasant. High around 70
Our days start with feeding the dog and cats. The cats came up to the porch, letting me know it is breakfast time.
While it was cool, George watered the baby tomato plants. As he squirted water on one plant, out popped a 4-foot long rattle snake! Thank goodness, it went the other direction. (Sorry, no photos).
It is a sunny day, so I did more laundry.
We did some housecleaning chores in the Airstream, like defrosting the refrigerator and setting out the mattress to soak up sun rays.
In the afternoon, when it cooled off again, I picked kale to start the kale chip process. First, I washed and dried the kale pieces, removing hard stems. Then, George made up the coating mix. It is a secret recipe, but I can tell you that it involves massaging the leaves in extra virgin organic olive oil, and including brewers' yeast and sunflower seeds in the mix.
Then, George put them in the dehumidifier to crisp up.
After about 2 hours, they were ready to eat
Then, we packaged, weighed, and priced the finished product.
Hopefully, we will sell them all at the farmers' market on Saturday.
To reward ourselves for a hard day on the farm, we drove into Ukiah for happy hour. We had some delicious appetizers and drinks.
DINNER: I had planned to make fish tacos, but could not find my container of fish in the refrigerator! After much searching, we decided the student intern must have inadvertently taken it with her, when she retrieved her food from the frig. So, (don't laugh), we had tacos using leftover Spam. Not too bad!
