Hey Folks....what a summer so far. A real one! So just harvested 6lbs of black currants. This means I get to make about 2 gallons of creme de cassis. My favorite liquer. Market was good today and the rain cooperated by holding off until setup and then stopped for the second half of market. Crops are coming in real well. Cherry tomatoes (8 kinds) are in, broccoli, 2lb cabbages, summer squash (3 kinds), Ratt fingerling potatoes, eggplant, okra, peppers, what a great season so far. Now if the chickens would just start laying eggs again. They are, but production is very low. Seems I am going to get after the soup business in a more serious manner. USDA gave me a bit of money to set up a commercial kitchen somewhere. Who knows maybe it's time to get back into the restaurant business again................
