Another hot day, we do all our work in the morning, too hot to be outside in the afternoon. We still do not need the AC as the temperature here on the mountain stays in the 80’s and the fans keep it nice in the house. Today we go into McMinnville to the farmer’s market but I don’t think I need anything besides onions, we have everything else or will have it by the end of next week. I do need butter and eggs for my first fruit cakes this afternoon. I put the candied and dried fruit and nuts in to soak in the grape juice last night so they are all moist and ready. Then the cakes need to ripen at least three weeks so Shanti when you come to visit your cakes will be all ready to go back with you. I am making some cupcakes to eat along the way to keep a check on the ageing and when it is ready I will freeze a cake for the holidays in Florida for the kids while the adults have a brandy fruit cake. Yesterday we froze five quarts of beet greens. I use those all winter and spring to cook my roasts on. They keep the roast moist and taste sooo good. I also tried some beets frozen without cooking first to see if I can freeze beets without their getting soft and mushy. We will take the one package out next week and try them. If it works we will freeze alot more that way. If it doesn’t help I’ll try something else. Yesterday I did some weeding in the cukes and zuchinni. The zuchinni is blooming but so far it is only female flowers open so hopefully today some of the males will open so we can get some zuchinni. Have a good day and don’t work too long in the heat.
