I made Ratatouille! (kind of)
Remember those eggplant that I had no plans for? Well, here is what I did with them. I made
Ratatouille. Used all of those eggplant that I picked last weekend, some of the tomatoes, and some canned tomato sauce from last year (well, from a previous year). I also used a jar of my home-canned salsa because I didnt have the right spices. It was risky and almost ruined things, but it ended up turning out quite good. Although, I doubt if anyone who has eaten Ratatouille before would recognize this as ratatouille - LOL.

Most nutcrackers can't crack hickory nuts!
I learned this the hard way! Bought these off Amazon. Fortunately, I was able to return even after they broke.
 |
| I actually repaired this one and broke it a second time. I guess I will keep it now since I did get some of the nuts cracked with it. |
 |
| This one, however, broke on the very first attempt! I am not sure it wasn't actually a defective casting rather than just being overwhelmed by the hickory nuts! |
Deer-tree damage
I walk the property usually when I first get to the farm. This time I noticed something when I toured the locust tree grove. Freaking deer! They really hit the locust trees hard this year - maybe 15-20 trees are severely damaged. :( The good news is that NONE of the fruit trees got scrapped up this year (so far anyway). The tree cages seem to work! Yay
