Actuals for this past week, cooking for 2 in MN. Where my husband has been watering the rhubarb patch to ensure continued growth and harvests, while I’ve handled daily watering of newly-planted bushes and flower containers. It’s been an week of especially successful meals, inspired by photos from discussions here on HO and topped off with dessert favorites. And magically, an avocado was perfectly ripe after being stored since late April in my FRUIT (set to low humidity) drawer, not the VEG (set to high humidity) one.
