garden -> bake -> teen mom

i left my position at the shelter, and took on a pt internship with a mental health task force until i start fieldwork in late august. two things have benefitted from my lighter schedule: my garden, and my stomach. i've been spending my mornings eating breakfast, playing with the dogs, pruning, and reading in the garden. i recently received two seed grown yellow heirloom tomato plants as a birthday present from a good friend, and bought three organic tomato plants from armstrong nursery, because i've decided my one summer goal is to jar at least one batch of red sauce from my gardens produce. i'm pruning those babies daily, so i'm hoping this will work out. and as for the tummy, i've spent my nights alone, because nic got an amazing job (yay!) that sometimes means 12 hour days. so basically the two people i live with are gone or asleep, and i'm home with buttloads of time. and so i get dinners like these: baba ghanoush , and
zucchini butter on a roll. just imagine that served to teen mom marathons, and emmy award nominated top chef. proud partner moment: matty's precious fingers and handsome face worked on top chef, and top chef masters, and both are up for emmys. couldn't be prouder of my man. :)
