so Farm thursday was pretty awesome. It was cloudy but not too cold and Mary Charles, Amy, and I did a bunch of random tasks while the rest of the thursday crew cleaned lugs and washed veggies in the root washer. We added to the compost pile, fed the chickens, harvested some brussel sprouts, and carried things to and from the freezer and the farmshop. We collected two dozen eggs which was pretty awesome and the eggs were warm which I wasn't expecting at all.
the best part was that Amy gave me a butternut squash with idiot's-guide-level instructions on how to make soup for lunch that day. I cut the squash in half, removed the seeds, covered it with a little olive oil and maple syrup, and cooked it in the oven for 40 minutes. Then you scoop out the squash insides and blend them with milk and butter and a little nutmeg. I added chicken broth, pepper, and salt too. In the end it was pretty tasty although I didn't blend it enough or cook the squash enough so it was a little too solid for soup. BUT I COOKED SOMETHING FROM SCRATCH! Such a sense of accomplishment.
I forgot to blog about food on Thursday so in general I've been trying to cook more and eat healthier. I've been having greek yogurt with granola and strawberries for breakfast, salads with grilled chicken, and yesterday morning I made omelets with my roommates. I bought tuna steaks and REAL carrots at Price Chopper two days ago, and Sebastian and I are going to cook the tuna steaks tonight with rice and sugar snap peas. I am quite excited for that.
Goal for tonight- take picture of tuna steak and put on blog.
That's all!
