It’s starting to cool off in Bend as you can see from Dad’s and my attire while watching Star Wars (Episode IV).
Our plums are ready to harvest, so The Mother and I got to it on Saturday.
We packed about 10 bags this size (10 to 15 pounds). We gave them to the neighbors, we gave them to the guy delivering us a package, we just kept giving them away, but we still have about half a tree to go.
After the plum harvest I headed to soccer.
Then on Sunday we went on a rainy hike.
With a hot spring destination!
I also did a lot of cooking. The Bigs are delighted that instead of making gourmet dishes every morning for lunch, I sometimes will take a PB&J.
I made 4 ingredient Nutella brownies to bring to Dr. Chris’s 50th birthday. Dr. Chris loves his sweets.
I also made sheet pan saffron chicken and plums. It was a little more gourmet than PB&J. I had to do some spice grinding, lemon zesting, and lots of chopping.
Hot pan!
The Bigs liked it. I did not.
On occasion The Bigs still cook. This week they made sweet potato, chard, and coconut curry.
And beefsteak tomato carpaccio with green onion and ginger salsa (with garden-fresh tomatoes from our neighbor).
I think the chicken and plums look great as does the beefsteak tomatoes. But I think my favorite picture would be in the hot springs.
Yup! The hot springs bath is the winner for me too! Can’t imagine anything better after a walk I the rain.❤️
Why don’t you try putting the heat on instead of wearing your outdoor clothes 🤦🏼♀️ I can’t believe how many plums that tree has!! The chicken and plums looked good and I’m sure you did a great job making it it’s too bad you didn’t like it.
Hot springs?? Good for all your aches and pains after a hard game of soccer.
PB&J?? The mother would never eat that!
