Potatoes

This afternoon Steve brought home some yummy crab, and I decided to make french fries with my new Cuisinart french fry blade. So out to the garden I went to dig the last of the potatoes, hoping I would find some big enough to make fries with. I noticed that some of the potatoes were starting to grow. I decided I would dig all the potatoes. I kept digging and digging and I ended up digging 45 lbs of potatoes. Needless to say I found some big enough. I thought I had dug more than I had obviously. If you are wondering if the potatoes are purple, they are. They produce really well and taste a lot like red potatoes.

The crab was good, but the crabbing isn't so good. Steve the Crab King has come home skunked more than once. Today he got 8, and there was two of them in the boat. There was only one big one. He said someone else at the dock had only caught 2. He said he has never seen so many boats in the bay at this time of the year. Oh well, it hasn't been a crab/salmon year. You can't have everything.

My fingernails have still been doing good. I have worried about them because when I go out to the garden and put on my gloves, dirt still gets in my gloves. Today I grabbed a pair of gloves that were in the garage. They were stretchy on the back and leather on the palm. They have a strap around the wrist so you can cinch it up. After digging all those potatoes, not one speck of dirt got in my gloves. I was pretty excited about that. I am hoping I can find a few more pairs of them. They are my new best friend!!!

These are my fries! I need to cook them longer. I think they would be better if they were deep fried, I oven baked them.

Well, I decided I have truly watched Gilmore s a lot. I was watching the first season today on DVD while I was cleaning the crabs. When the music started for this one scene I knew it was a first snow scene. I looked up and sure enough it was. That is pitiful, or I am just amazing. You know which one I want to be, but I'm afraid that probably isn't the one I am. :-)

I wish I could say my day today was like yesterday, but I didn't start out right and never seemed to get it back together!! It's like they say you have to lay a good foundation or the building will not stand! I remember in the temple one day watching the creation scenes and thought about how each thing that was created was necessary before the next step could survive. I thought, if we are to learn from the temple, the lesson for me is that there is an order to the way things should go. If we don't follow that order things can't work right, because some things need to be built upon the next. I'm 51 years old, do you think I will get that someday!!!?? I hope so. :-)

Well, love you all!! Hope you all had a good day.
