Making Cheese!

A watched cheese never curdles.

Flood

It's officially the rainy season, as indicated by our first flood of the year.  Here is the lake at Irving Park, one of many low spots on Fremont.  There was a similar, albeit smaller, lake in our basement unfortunately.

The weather is forecast to be like this for the next few days, then about the same still for about 5 months.  Look for more indoor MCF posts as we try to figure out what city farmers do during the winter....

Pork, it's what's for dinner!

Carrots

 Just when you thought the growing season was over, and perhaps the MCF had even gone into hibernation...carrots!  The miracle of carrots is that you can leave them in the ground until you're ready to eat them, assuming they aren't so close to the surface that slugs get them first.

So about these carrots.  Hmmm, they're sort of round.  Nice and fat and tasty, but not so long.  I remember reading about carrots, and learning that the soil had to be loosened deeply or the result would be stubby carrots.  Well, I leave it to you to determine how much bother I may have/have not put into preparing the root bed...
