Things with which I'm currently enamored:
1. Potato Pizza - boil thinly sliced potatoes for 3-5 minutes in saltwater, layer on whole wheat pizza dough, top with olive oil and rosemary, bake until the potatoes begin to crisp - Delicious!
2. eBay - My sister has long been an eBay lover, but I just recently (last week) discovered the joy.
3. Outstanding in the Field - This is a group that stages dinners on farms and ranches, preparing meals with the foods grown where the dinners takes place and serving the food growers and other diners together to "re-connect diners to the land and the origins of their food, and to honor the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it." I LOVE this idea, and I really want to participate, but it's not going to fit into the budget or the schedule this year. There's also a cookbook called Outstanding in the Field, based on the dinners, that I'm enjoying at the moment.
4. Today I looked outside and saw that my neighbors have a little goat (and chickens) in their shed. I love a little goat. I want to go set my neighbors' goat free and bring him over here to eat my grass. I would call him Pepin and we would be friends.

It seems like are a whole lot of starches in that potato pizza . . .
1. Cheese, my friend. Cheese.
2. What did you buy on ebay?
3. Sounds cool.
4. My parents' neighbors have what my sister refers to as "pleasure chickens." As in, not for livestock or walking food storage. For pleasure. Pets for children. I suggest you refer to your neighbors' acquisitions as "pleasure goats" and "pleasure chickens." You'll get a good chuckle every time you see them.
You sound like the goat type! I think that would be a fabulous way to cut the grass. I like that I do not have to cut grass.
This Friday I can offer you corn from the farm. You may also have fresh eggs. We are a little low on the homegrown beef and FarmerBoy hasn't had time to provide us with a chicken, but other days, those things may be available. And best of all, it's all free!
Emily--It's too delicous! I can't resist, but I still refuse to sanction the eating of macaroni and corn.
Amy--
1. No cheese!
2. A shoulder bag that turns into a backpack. I saw one in Ashland where it was very expensive, but still wanted it for traveling. eBay to the rescue! Also, a pair of strappy walking sandals that I found somewhere for more than I was willing to pay.
Alice--It would especially be fabulous because Monday while mowing the grass, the wheel fell off the lawn mower. Today I got the wheel back on and then the starter cord broke. Gotta tell Dave about that tomorrow.
Moo--Yes, please!
