For Dinner...

It's cold today.

I added another row to the dry brick wall I'm building around the vegetable garden.

I've tried to stay out as long as I could.

It's the first of four days I have off this week,

And Stephen is off with friends...

A volunteer squash has been trying its best to outrun the frost

in the middle of my yard... But last nights cold got to it.

I picked the eight 3" long fruits and had them for dinner

along with broccoli, asparagus, and gnocchi.

It was easily the best dinner I've had in a while.

with a cold glass of cider it was perfect.

Here is my recipe:

1 cup broccoli

1 cup asparagus

several baby squash

1 cup of gnocchi

Boil these for 4 minutes

Add to your liking:

butter

half and half

a handful of parmesan

a sprinkle of nutmeg

1 Large egg yolk

salt and pepper

thyme leaves

olive oil

And I just stumbled upon one of my ceramic houses here.
