Food, and Feet

Today was all about food:

-I processed a huge bunch of dried mint (picked the leaves off and rubbed through a metal sieve so we would have dried mint for cooking).

-I made a loaf of banana bread to use up three very ripe bananas

-I made four batches of pesto sauce with basil from the farmer's market and put them in the freezer

-I snapped and cooked a huge bowl of green beans

-I made pasta all'arrabiata for dinner

This while also playing with my little boy who really wanted to be outside today. It was busy but fun.

The past couple of months have been crazy. My ankle is recovering, after 7 weeks in a cast I can now spend some part of each day in sneakers. I put my boot back on after lunch today because my ankle was feeling sore and weak, and I don't want to damage it again. Life is starting to resume its normal flow, although the beginning of summer vacation makes everything several shades more zoo-ey around here.

I am knitting. I am working on a lace shawl and I am at the point of having about 400 stitches in each row and it is slow going. Plus I have been making mistakes lately, and spending lots of time fixing them. Ugh.

Here's hoping that whatever summer brings your way is welcome.
