Growin' stuff.


Today I picked my first ripe tomato! I have so many more green ones that are on their way, and take a look at those zukes. I accidentally let that one grow a little too long. Oops! It's like the size of a child...





My dad and brother came up for the Milwaukee Air Show yesterday, which was totally awesome, by the way! It was my brother's birthday yesterday, so happy birthday again, brother. Dad brought me awesome veggies and peppers from their garden! Yum. I think I'm having a cookout this evening, so I'm definitely putting those in some bellies. And I just got an idea for tofu ricotta stuffed jalepenos. I think I'll try that.



I just poured my most recent batch of kombucha into its jar - thus the fuzziness. If you don't know what kombucha tea is, you should read up on it and get into it! Super delicious, naturally carbonated, really good for you tea. Instead of buying it for like $3 per serving at the store, you get a culture and make it yourself!

PS, my culture is in need of trimming. If you want to make your own, hit me up and I'll give you part of mine. The mushroom keeps growing, so you can share.


In other news, I am officially done with school until 2012. My last day to turn in all my summer school stuff was Friday, so I'm a free bird except for working my two jobs. My plan is this: make art, make food, and do stuff. We'll see how the other stuff works out. (Still in search of someone to sublet my room, moving is up in the air, etc.) Oh, and I'm turning 20 in 22 days. Don't know if I'm ready for that number.
