Welcome to my weekly craves post. The post is where I let loose and let everyone know those things that I have been enjoying or craving all week long. It's a free for all so you just never know what might end up on my list!
We are enjoying some glorious summer weather right now but it is so dry. Our grass has pretty much burned up already (usually that doesn't happen until the end of July or August). We have been watering the garden and it is growing like crazy, can't wait to start getting more from it. I love all those fresh veggies!
2. Radishes from the garden: I was never a big radish fan until we started growing our own. This year I bought some heirloom seeds including some radish seeds. The radishes are long instead of round but boy do they have a wonderful flavor. Some are a bit spicy, others just have a gentle heat. It is just such a great taste of the garden early on when nothing else is ready.
3. Salads: All kinds of salads- pasta salads, garden salads, chicken salads.....you name it and I love salads. I just think they are a great summertime dinner. They are light, not fussy, usually fairly quick and easy to throw together. Friday night we had a tuna pasta salad with some peas. Yum! Plus it worked out well because it was one hot day.
4. Summer Bucket List: To be honest, I didn't actually sit down and write out a bucket list (which is probably good since my bum foot is going to take over most of my summer). Since I know I will be stuck at home after the 27th, I have been on a mission to get as much done as I can, which has included going out! I made hubby take me out to dinner and to meet a friend on Thursday night, we are running away for the day today and now I just need to make some plans with my high school friend to spend some time with her before the 27th. So far, so good!
5. Music: I have been turning my ipod on shuffle and enjoying a wide variety of music this summer. I listen to it while blogging, surfing the net, cooking, baking, soaking up some sun, hiding in my bedroom resting, etc. I seem to go in streaks-- sometimes I have the music on all the time and other times I love the peace and quiet. This summer has been bopping!
What were your craves for the week?? Are there things you crave in the summer? Let me know- I am always looking for new things to crave :-D
Thanks for stopping and visiting me here on the hill!

Craves
1. Flip Flops: I am a barefoot and flip flop kind of girl once the weather is semi warm. This year has been very hard on me. On the right foot I have the beautiful stylish footwear (or CAM walker) which has quite the sole on it. Therefore, to walk correctly, I have to wear tennis shoes on the left foot. I was able to behave for about a week. Now I am lopsided in the house and outside but my left foot is FREE!2. Radishes from the garden: I was never a big radish fan until we started growing our own.

I am weird and can't stand flip flops. I don't like the feel of them between my toes however I do love sandals and being barefooted :)
ReplyDeleteIt did take me awhile to like flip flops. It probably has only been the past 10 years or so that I could wear them. I always went for the sandles that didn't go between the toes. Now I love flip flops and bought myself a cool new pair this spring. I guess they will wear just fine next summer too! :-D
