recovery

I am exhausted but well fed. Today I was able to get down to my garden and work for the first time in a while. With all the rain my garden has been hard to get to. I went down, weeded my perimeter, strung up the snap peas (they seem to have ignored the framework I made for them so I had to 'guide' them with the help of twine), evaluated all the work I will have to do over the next few days, and then collected some lettuce, mesclun and snap peas.

I forgot to take my camera with me to the garden, but I doubt I would have taken many pictures -- the place is a mess. You'll get photos, dear reader, once I've tidied up a bit!

Tonight I cooked up the first batch of snap peas. I also roasted a couple of chicken thighs.

The chicken was seasoned with bay leaves, chopped garlic, paprika and kosher salt. The Snap peas were lightly stir fried in almond oil with chopped garlic, kosher salt and a tiny dash of black pepper. Was it yummers? You bet it was! I am surprised at how sweet the snap peas are -- they're almost too sweet!

Well as I said, I am exhausted. I'm going to take a walk and then it's bed time!
