New recipe and willfull gardening....

Do you get Real Simple Magazine? If not, you really should. Not only are the review on clothing, household goods, and cosmetics wonderful, there are super easy recipe's in the back as well.

Tonight we tried one that is in this month's issue - Chipotle Rubbed Pork Loin. It was so wonderful and EASY.

Recipe: Chipotle Rubbed Pork


Since the weather is super awesome right now, we decided to eat outside. Honestly, this may be a habit until it gets too darn hot...We put Logan in his car seat and just sat him out in the stroller so he could enjoy the fresh air.

While we were eating I looked over at this neglected pot of what used to be mint and noticed that it was coming back! This is after no water, no care at all.
Lee walked over and looked at our forgotten about garden and lo and behold there are strawberries!
Again, no water - no nothing at all. There were 2 red ones and they were delicious.
Also - Lee spotted an onion...
Most of all, my herbs LOVE the neglect. They thrive on it..

Oregano, Sage, and rosemary with some thyme trying to battle it's way through as well..

So - rather than fussing with the garden and fertilizing it and all that - neglect it and stuff grows!
