8/6/10

1. Picking okra turning out to be an easy and quick job, since the plants are tall enough that we didn't have to bend over much and although the green of the okra blends in a bit, they're located in predictable areas at the notches of the branches.
2. Satisfied feeling after weeding a whole row of Swiss chard. It looked so neat and clean afterwards, unlike with the carrots where it felt like our weeding didn't make much of a difference.
3. Dinner turning out really well, with AL as my sous chef again. Bean thread noodles with sesame oil and soy sauce and sauted grated carrots and green beans with garlic, then grated cucumber dressed with salt and sesame oil, green beans with garlic and oyster sauce, grated squash with peanuts again, and carrot medallions in butter with a bit of honey, sugar, nutmeg, and cloves.
4. Biodynamic peaches that were the most intense flavored peaches I've ever had. Plus I didn't get an allergic reaction to them at all (they were cut up into slices).
5. Johanna showing us the semi-path to her tent on the property.
6. Getting a clear night for stargazing on our last night here.
