I'm not sure the extent of it... but I feel like there might be a significant amount of lying going on... by the farmer... and it's spiralled into something he sees no way out of... for the meal to the field tonight I made coleslaw, honeydew melon and strawberries, steak sandwiches with onions, provolone and...

the calm before the storm... the week before harvest is in full swing and farm wives everywhere are trying to sober up from the summer (you know who you are) and begin filling their freezers with meals and baking for the coming harvest... a few friends of mine use this "The Big Cook 2" cookbook...

this has been the hottest seeding on record... and by that I mean I have not kept any records and I actually don't know how warm it got today... nor do I know the history of how hot the temperatures in late April/early May traditionally have been... that statement was more of a 'hunch'... but...
