Happy Birthday, Day!

It's my baby sister's 30th birthday.

We threw her a party at Aljira Contemporary Art Gallery. We all had a blast! ~ksp

Happy New Year!

I spent the night holed-up in a bed and slept through the ball drop and damn it felt good!

Happy New Year! ~ksp

Happy Thanksgiving

It's been an unusually warm fall here in the garden state. I usually wait until the first frost to harvest my cabbage and collards (usually in early November). There's no frost in sight so I processed all of the greens in time for Thanksgiving.

Total yield: 12 quart bags of bags of collards, cabbage and kale. More than enough to make it through the winter.

I'm bringing oyster and cornbread stuffing to my best friend's family in South Jersey. It's great to be able to relax and spin all day on a four-day weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving! ~ksp

A Tough Night of Work

Life's been so busy, that my pain and stress is best relieved by a little nip during my evening work sessions.

This evening's delight was Hitachino Nest Beer from Amanti Vino in Montclair, NJ. I've gotta find another crutch before this becomes a habit. ~ksp

Labor Day Indeed!

It's been busy days over here....

As is customary at the end of the harvest season, I commit a lot of time to putting up the summer bounty.

This weekend's haul:

• 2 cases of tomatoes
• 1 case of peaches
• 1 case of figs
• 1 case of mushrooms

Figs...

Peaches...


Tomatoes...

Labor Day Indeed! ~ksp
