September 2

 Dear Cindy, 

I baked the loaf of sourdough I prepared yesterday. 

I picked tomatoes and 4 big zucchini. 

Patric and I picked apples and some pears for applesauce. 

I sorted worms from the compost because I was contacted on Facebook Marketplace for someone wanting to purchase 1 lb of worms for $60. Unfortunately - yesterday I had moved all the easy, good compost with the worms in it - over to the new, messy and uncomposted side. So, I had to dig into some slimy apples and other goodness that hadn't yet been converted to soil - to find some worms. Luckily, there were pockets of worms hanging out, eating all the good stuff, and I was able to separate out a pound. They're currently in a large yogurt container in the fridge. 

I made 7 loaves of bread - which included some oats picked up at the Yorkton SK tourist centre and some leftover mashed potatoes.  While making the bread I watched:

10 Things I Hate About You.  1999. IMDB 7.4.   I don't know if I would have given it that high - but it was pretty entertaining while doing other things. 

I also watched: 

Spiderman - No Way Home. 2021. IMDB 8.2.  It has many many cameo appearances. 

I shredded half a big zucchini and made brownies for lunches tomorrow. It went in the oven beside 3 loaves of bread. Heating up the kitchen. I have to go to the basement to hide and regulate my temperature. I also have to remind myself to drink water. 

Once the apples were softened in my 20 litre stockpot - I let it cool while I made supper of sweet and sour pork (pre-frozen) and rice and green salad. 

Then I took the apples outside with my Roma tomato strainer - and made the applesauce. It's so much easier to do it outside where the cleanup is easier. The solids can go right down the sink and into the yard - the splashes from the strainer can go on the grass. 

I'll can them up tomorrow.
