what's a gal to do while it's drizzlin' outside (thank the stars fer more moisture, although many parts of the state are underwater, i'm so glad to see the light at the end of the tunnel - aka drought)? why, make pizza of course!
not jest any pizza, coz i can't do gluten. so, i went scrummagin' around and found a recipe to use up my cauliflower. found a recipe at http://realsustenance.com/revamped-better-than-ever-cauliflower-pizza-crust-graingluteneggdairysoy-free/, but didn't want a huge pizza so cut the recipe in half. great schtuff at ms brittany's place. what to do fer toppings? hmmm, can't do pizza sauce (maters are now huge no-no's and the gut doesn't lie), so figured i'd fry up some lean ground turkey breast with a concoction of seasonin' and toss on some shredded hard cheeses (thanks, crohn's, i miss gooey cheeses...)
anyhow, it's divine and the house smells almost as good as the other day when i was grindin' up homegrown herbs. i shall dearly miss the smells of summer.
the hubs has been busy outdoors, although not necessarily tendin' to things that should be tended with winter approachin'. especially since the farmers almanac says we're in fer a wet, cold winter. i'd build a fire right this very minute if only i had some dry wood! he's forgiven fer the moment though as he's turned some schtuff most folks haul to the dump into my vision.
my mom had given this set of outdoor patio furniture over 15 years ago. 14 years ago, it literally got the crap beat outta it by hailstones rangin' from ping-pong sized to grapefruit. the frames of the table 'n chairs didn't even dent and they've jest been sittin' around. much discussion on whether to tile the top of the table. decided against it as the weight would've been horrific. bungee cords came to mind - ya know, nice 'n comfy with a lil spring? jest wasn't us.
mom had her fence in town replaced and she was kind enough to let us have the old, 1973 cedar fence. many projects came to mind as to what to do with all this lovely, naturally aged cedar and this won out. 3 more chairs to go and the table and we'll be set :D
