Fresh Herbs - 09:57, Wednesday, February 27, 2008 |
http://www.homesteadblogger.com/morninggloryfarm I am craving the taste of summer. I have started a little herb garden in my kitchen window. I imagine by the time the herbs are ready to use, it will already be time to plant some outside. In the meanwhile, I've found that packaged salad is a great way to supplement my winter meals. I buy the romaine mix from the supermarket. Head lettuce is too expensive for the quality right now. I can feed our family of six twice with a small bag of pre-made salad. The cost is about 20 cents per serving. As a side for a winter stew or casserole, it makes the meal so much more special: like a burst of summer fun with the snow falling all around. Throw in a loaf of fresh baked bread, serve everything on your best dinnerware, light some candles, and make your family feel like they're being treated to a night out in the middle of the week. "She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from far away." Proverbs 31:14

 Trying to be like the original example of a homesteading woman: "She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family, and organizing her day. She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden."
