Prelude 2: so far....

Hi everyone,

Here's what I have so far on my new piano composition. The piece has no name, and I don't know where it's going, but we'll see. Sorry for the recording quality- it's crappy, but I don't have my good microphone with me in Houston. I'm having a composing block- I haven't moved forward from this point in the music for days...but I'll get over it. :)

and now we have a rustic compost bin

the sorry help

cute!, i'd say

cupcakes!

We really have a beautiful view out of our living room window

The veggie garden is looking cute! 

Parsley (gone to seed) and oregano intermixed 

The flowers of Cleveland Sage are pretty cool!

food

Just made pancakes! They're great because I can get rid of a lot of stuff with pancakes. For example, in this case orange juice, raisins, ripe bananas, soymilk, white chocolate chips, the last of the agave nectar and honey

I made these two dishes with some of the farm produce: specifically yukon gold potatoes, white onion, basil, and yellow squash. The both are Indian-inspired, the mashed potatoes with cumin, coriander, and paprika; the squash with yellow curry power, but also red pepper flakes, sauteed onion, basil, and parmesan cheese. Both dishes were really good, the squash unexpectedly so. I'll definitely be making both again!

the farm
