Lock-Down Update

4/24/2020

With all this downtime, you'd think I'd be up to date with the blog. Nope. We have a lot to catch up on! Our spring was off to a great start. Was. Right?!?! The beginning of March we attended the West Michigan Home & Garden Show in Grand Rapids and spent a wonderful weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Pillywiggin on the farm.

And then life was turned upside down by COVID-19. We spent the first week like everyone else... glued to the tube for more information. By the 2nd week we were just glued to the tube. When we finished binge watching "Joe Exotic Tiger King" we knew... TIME TO TURN OFF THE BOOB TUBE!

It was around this time that we received an unexpected gift from one of our customers. A box full of organic meal kits from Sun Basket. Thanks Steve & Jari! This was our first experience with meal delivery kits. Jason & I had a lot of fun preparing these meals together. They were healthy & delicious. Here's a look at what we made.

Sun Basket Meal Kit #1
Turkey Meatball Lettuce Cups w/ Buffalo Sauce
Awesome lunch. A little messy to eat as lettuce wraps but YUMMY! Next time I would serve this dish as a salad.
Sun Basket Meal Kit #2
Hot & Sour Chicken Stir Fry
We made this one for dinner - fabulous! My only suggestion would be to go easy on the hot sauce. Jason used 1/2 of the hot sauce container. That was plenty hot!

Sun Basket Meal Kit #3
Black Bean & Zucchini Tostada w/ Soft Boiled Egg,
​Pickled Daikon & Onion Slaw
Another great lunch! We skipped the cilantro and Jason ate all of the soft boiled egg. I'm not an egg girl unless you disguise the yolk.

Sun Basket Meal Kit #4
Chicken Meatza with Mushrooms, Black Olives, Zucchini & Arugula Pesto
This was our least favorite of the 4 dishes. Maybe because it wasn't what we expected? Turns out, Meatza is like a pizza with a ground chicken "crust." It didn't look too appetizing in the making but it tasted good. Jason put the black olives on his half & I put the mushrooms on mine, so that worked out for us. I think this would be an excellent dish IF it had a bread dough crust, more sauce & cheese.   :D
We saved the seeds from the organic peppers found in the Hot & Sour Chicken Stir Fry meal kit. They were really tasty peppers so we crossed our fingers and tried to sprout a few with the rest of our garden seeds.

Success! Here's a look at our pepper sprouts.

My First Easter
Easter was different but we made the best of it. We usually go to Grandma & Grandpa Pillywiggins farm for a family gathering. This year we stayed home, pulled a ham from the freezer, fixed our own Easter dinner with the potatoes, carrots & yams and spent the day on the phone. We checked in with our family & friends to wish all a Happy Easter. From the U.P. to Lansing, Florida, Colorado & Oregon all were safe & well. You can't ask for a better Easter than that!

More signs of spring in our gardens and the return of Sand Hill Cranes! I spotted this pair in the field at the end of our road. It looks like one was on the lookout but when I stopped to take their picture they were not interested in me in the slightest.

On the Work Front

As of Friday afternoon, April 24th, 2020, the Governor's "Stay Home Stay Safe" Mandate has been eased to allow landscaping activities to resume. Hooray! Now we can get back to work in your gardens... just as soon as we finish our happy dance!
