Found my camera.
Living in one house and cat-sitting in another has a few benefits that make up for all the things I can't find, though....
This week, friends of ours had us pick up their CSA share while they were away in VT. We took our buddies Erin and Geneva with us and went off to the farm for PYO strawberries and 3 bags of various lettuces and carrots and squashes and stuff. I'm about to figure out something I might make with the chard, carrots, beets and fava beans, and Maya has big pie plans for the strawberries tonight. Knitting buddy Kellee has a pretty awesome looking squash casserole recipe on her new food blog that's timed kind of perfectly, and I'm open to any other good suggestions, if you have 'em.
But the part you'll like best came from Erin. She told me about the latest drink making the rounds on Pinterest.

Strawberry-Basil-Burbon
muddle a few strawberries and 1-2 basil leaves in the bottom of a glass
add 2 oz of burbon
top with seltzer and ice cubes
All my burbon and seltzer is in the new house, but luckily I have to spend a few hours over there this afternoon waiting for appliances, tile, a vanity, and a sink -- So, I'll have plenty of time to dig through the piles for the appropriate ingredients and hope to share the results with you soon. Along with some "during" photos, maybe. Perhaps my crew of contractors will all pose next to the porta potty holding skeins of yarn if I explain this whole blog thing to them? I'm tninking they may not.
Anyways, back to the veggies. After an hour or so in the hot sun, we deserved something cold, so we drove over to this awesome summer joint I remembered from years past. I always loved how this place looks, so I snapped a shot to share. (Maybe I was a little snap happy having found my camera, so pardon the unrelated pic, and be glad I'm not sharing the rest!)

But it is pretty perfect, right? And those milkshakes totally hit the spot.
The last summer green I'm sharing IS knitting related, and almost done! Three pieces of long soft sweater, in Fibre Company's Canopy. I'm playing with all kinds of ribbing here, and going for a long slouchy feel. About to do some sleeves and seam things up, but I'm debating whether or not a long (mid thigh long) sweater with a hood is too much like a bathrobe.
Thoughts? Would you prefer a hooded long cardigan, or a regular necked one?
You can think about it while sipping some strawberry/basil/burbon stuff, and imagining the potty yarn man photo.
