Annabelle, CJ and I filled little coconut husk pots with starter soil and then planted three kinds of tomatoes and some eggplants. We've never attempted eggplants before, but decided to give them a go after researching what home grown veggies give you the best bang for your buck.
In other vegetable news, we made another round of sauerkraut today. This is our second batch. The first one turned out soooo gooood! It's nice and crunchy and you can really taste the caraway and mustard seed, and it has just the right amount of salt. Hopefully Round 2 is similarly tasty.
BELL RINGERS: On Tuesday, the big excitement for the day was a Taco Bell giveaway. (Hey, our options are limited right now, being mostly house bound and in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.)
In an attempt to be a bright spot amidst the COVID-19 blues, Taco Bell was offering free Dorito Locos tacos on March 31. The kids and I made a midday say-hi (from a distance) and supply run to Mukilteo, so we hit a Taco Bell there are scored three free tacos (I brought 'mine' home to Christian.)
Later this afternoon, we had a Safeway grocery order to pick up, and there just happened to be a Taco Bell half a block away, so we made another 'run for the border' as their past marketing campaign used to say. There were four of us in the car for that trip, so in all, we got seven free tacos in all. That made CJ mucho happy.
The dining rooms of the Taco Bells were closed, so it was a drive-through only endeavor. We wore masks and gloves, of course.
MASKED: It looks like the CDC is about ready (finally!) to tell everyone they should be wearing a mask. In my research, when it comes to homemade masks, t-shirt material is one of the better options. Here's a short and simple hack to make a mask out of an old t-shirt.
