While i am typing, my dear wife is in the kitchen taking her first shot at making home made veggie burgers. She is a rock star!!!

It has been a tougher transition back to vegetarianism than i thought it would be. i feared that i would buckle from "barbecue weakness" (that is a non-medically classified condition - real nonetheless), so we agreed that we would still eat meat that was free range and organically fed, or that we raised and/or harvested. Well, the farther into the transition that we get, the less i am even tempted to want even the meat that we are growing in the backyard. Amy on the other hand caved the other night when a friend made stuffed potato skins that had bacon in them. i walked into the kitchen after working with the critters to find Amy licking a piece of freshly cooked bacon!!! my poor wife. . . what have i done to her??

So anywho. . . she is in the kitchen as i type with lots of yummy ingredients and the food processor making these little cakes that, at the moment, look like pterodactyl turds. They do however smell amazing and i can't wait to cook 'em up tonight. Yummy!!!!

The Not So Farmer's Almanac - Farming forecasts that aren't because they already happened:

This weeks forecast: Overcast and in the forties!!!!! Yea, spring is coming. Chicks, planting, gathering rainwater and snow melt, shoveling the walks because the roof is sluffing in giant sheets. . . Yup, everyone else is outside playing in the warmth, while we are finding our walkways. . . again. Good news is, we are the only folks on our street that can see our roof. . . and it is metal and beautiful! That there used to be the walkway that the oil guys uses. . . oops!
