I don't know. Maybe it is because we have our first real house and we can decorate and entertain. Maybe it is because we know have a little person that solidifies our family unit. Maybe it is because after a long year of treatments for my dad, things are starting to look up! Maybe it is because Michael and I are heading (at the end of the season, thank you very much!) to our first real vacation in several years!! Do you really need a reason? Sometimes you do...
Or, maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the delicious fall vegetables that have been miraculously appearing in my fridge! How can you not get excited for the holidays when you have something like this to make for dinner:
Buttercup squash, red-flesh potatoes, yukon potatoes, sweet potatoes and turnips! One measly clove of garlic (someone, who shall not be named raided our house of garlic unbeknownst to me) made it into the concoction, but I am thinking that the natural, fresh flavors of these root vegetables will eliminate the need for more (any??) garlic!
As the season winds down (just a few more weeks left...and then we have a vacation...did I mention that? Oh, yes, I am sorry; I did just mention that!), I think back to all that I have eaten from the farm this year. As we like to say in our family, it was gooooood eatins! I am thankful for all of Michael's hard work and dedication to this humble endeavor and hope that you all enjoying eating the fruits of his labor as much as I do!
This week's share: arugula, escarole, rutabagas, winter squash, brussels sprouts/broccoli/cabbage (your choice!), and greens.
