CORN for the freezer. i bought this early on saturday at the farmer’s market, fresh picked that morning and put it up that night after supper. this is gonna taste SO good in january and february! (or even november, haha).
TOMATOES which i also put up on saturday night. i had thought i’d make ratatouille, but when i saw the amount, i decided squirrel them away for winter instead. there are more for ratatouille (along with fresh eggplant and squash); they’ll be ripe later in the week, probably wednesday.
PEACHES at their perfect peak of ripeness; beckie and i took a ride to the orchard on saturday morning before yoga class and scored big time. i bought two boxes, which ended up being a lot more than i thought. after writing a pattern on saturday afternoon and sunday morning, i got to work and spent the rest of the day peeling and slicing or cutting them up to freeze.
their flavor and fragrance are so good it aches. i will leave it to your imagination what i baked with them this morning—pictures tomorrow, i promise.
GREEN BEANS (which technically makes it five words) which is what i’m working on now (i took a break to throw up this quick, drive-by post!). we ate some of these fresh in a nicoise salad david put together last night. salad is one of his four or five specialties (besides, of course, his special specialty, which is loving ME). i’ll freeze all of these because as you know, there will likely be more in a few days.
i’ll be back later today or tomorrow with a long post—i have lots of knitting to share and some new recipes for green beans (because when you eat them nearly every night, you need variety, right?).
the empreinte crescent shawlette i have on the needles now in organic color grown cotton lace is nearly done; i’m hoping to finish it off in class today—isn’t is stunning? this is the forest mist shade; i love it, i keep stopping to look at it. it’s gone so quickly now that i’m on the garter section; it’s perfect knitting for the kitchen, to pick up whenever a pot can spare a few unattended minutes. a good reason to rest my ankle, haha.
ok, that’s enough rest now—back into the kitchen for me. happy monday!
oops! i forgot to mention my NEW craftsy class will be live very soon.

Ooooh I just love your vegetables! I’ll be right there to pick up some goodness. LOL. Love the forest mist colorway and beautiful pattern. 🙂
I am hoping that you might have baked a peach pie or a crumble. Have you ever made peach jam? That is really delicious too. I love ripe, fragrant peaches – one of my most favourite fruits!
That all looks AMAZING. And I definitely entered for the class, I’m sure I could use it!
It’s not a good year for Ohio peaches, so I’m curious. At what orchard did you find your peaches? Anyway – all your produce looks great – whatever you make with it will be yummy!
Making my mouth water! I love that shawl…..can’t wait for it to be on my needles.
I have waited almost a year for the finishing class, Anne. I am so excited it’s going to be live on Craftsy soon. I know this is an area for me that needs improvement.
Love all of the fresh fruits and veggies. I shop mostly the outer portion of any grocery store.
And I love that David’s special specialty is loving you. That just made me smile from ear to ear.
Hope that ankle feels better soon!
Hooray! I’ve been hoping for a good finishing class, free or not, it hardly matters! I’ve been referring back to your button band DVD as I work on plucking up the stitches for my Ivar…
And as for those delectable peaches, my vote would be for home made ice cream!
Can’t wait to try out the finishing class.
This month’s Fine Cooking has a great recipe for Peach Icebox cake. I tried it and it was delish!
My favorite way to eat fresh green beans is steamed with new red potatoes. OM NOM NOM!
What a great way to start the harvest! Something for everything and everyone. How I would love to win Finishing Handknits!! Thanks for the update on the garden.
The peaches look amazing. I have a great recipe for peach, nectarine and plum granita and also for peach and apricot jam. Mind you, it’s been years since I managed to find time to make jam!
Can’t wait to see your peach work:) They look luscious, as does everything else in this post! And I will definitely sign up for finishing class. I made a wonderful salad with grilled nectarines. So many options this time of year!
I am so excited about the new Craftsy class. I learned so much during the finishing class at RAP last year but this will be a great way to refresh my memory.
Amazing! Its in fact awesome article, I have got much clear idea on the topic of from this piece
