i think i've finally succombed to farmstand insanity. i just used the excuse, while chatting with my friend in NYC, that i was "too into my pumpkin" to do look something up for her. meanwhile, a huge pot of rooty stock boils away on the stove. ed is afraid, but pretends to be interested in the turnipy concoction and stirs it occasionally with eyebrows raised.
while throwing onions and turnips into the compost at work today i had an epiphany- i should collect the composting rot and make stock to freeze for the winter! yum! ok, not rotten stock- i took the questionable-not-good-enough-to-display-cause-they're-holey veggies, not the squishy moldirific ones. and then i got all kinds of excited about my project and picked every conceivable vegetable that might be yummy when boiled and piled them into a box to take home and stockify, which included a stemless pie pumpkin. i baked it and ate half of it yum! because i'm pumpkin crazed!! there are two known truths about me that i've come to accept in the past month: one, that a day of work isn't complete unless i move at least 500 lbs of pumpkins around, and two: that this activity doesn't repel me from squash, but rather makes me want to eat it all the damn time! my hands are turning orange and today i horded some choice squashes for the winter. no, they're mine!
the plural of squash seems like it should be squish.
ok, i had some really important things to say about seasonality, but can't be bothered to go into them now cause i'm tired and still need to shower. lazy shley!
