nursery nurse class

Boss sent me to a class at a Nursery

I thought it was a Nursing Class - 

Imagine my pleasant surprise!

The class was extremely well-taught,

And took the "Art and Science" type approach to gardening:

Soil comp, sun, location, pollination, balance...etc

And also a segment on Backyard Chickens and HoneyBees.

Oh - how cute - 

My first compost pile!

I threw some leaves on that bad boy...

And Viola! Instant compost.

Just add time.

Got up super early to prep food and cook

For lunch today.

I am having a friend (over) for lunch!

Glad I learned good kitchen skills these past 4 years.

Clean up is easier when you don't make a mess to start.

Except I am still learning knife skills.

I never had a good knife till now - 

And are they sharp!

:'( 

And food prep for the week - is just as easy as for one meal

*sometimes*

Like this Fat Bread.... which is becoming a weekly staple for me...

Bacon -wrapped Shrimp, Avocado, and Onion

All done up in advance....saves a ton of time and mess

Made 2 Quiches...lol

Forgot to put Bacon in this one - 

Still good!

Still doing well, actually.

Cut back on coffee...and guess what?

I sleep lots better! Who knew?
