October Garden

I didn't think the basil was going to survive the last few nights, but its doing fine.  One of the advantages of having the garden at the top of a hill is that the cold air flows downhill, creating a slightly warmer microclimate in the garden.  I wonder if I can hold the basil until November?  Somehow I doubt it.

The peppers and turnips are still going strong.

As is the sage, oregano, and thyme.

Fun With Non-Profits!

So non-profit UPMC, which claims to have no employees, owns a 50 million dollar jet for those non-existant employees to ride around in.

January Can't Get Here Soon Enough

And then we'll rid of this embarrassment of a mayor.

Pot Roast

Along with homemade biscuits, roasted root vegetables, and green beans from the CSA.

And So It Ends

Pretty much total capitulation.

 So what did Republicans get for shutting down the government for 17 days? Their poll numbers tanked. Their gubernatorial candidate in Virginia appears headed for defeat in next month's election. The business community is rethinking its support. Veterans and the elderly are ticked off. And any leverage they ever had to push their goals of reducing the size of government and chipping away at health-care reform is gone.

Meatless Monday

Last night's vegetarian fare:  Spaghetti squash with garlic sauce, mushrooms on toast, and spinach salad.

The Frothling seems to enjoy it!

Well, Shit.
