A one skillet meal. Potatoes, peppers, onions, squash, zucchini, corn, chicken, and chorizo sausage, plus some fresh basil. Also toast, mine with tomatoes on top. Almost everything came from the farm. And the best part... lunch for tomorrow! This morning was busy with moving sheep. Afternoon nap in the rain. Evening rounds, milking, getting the sheep back into their fence, and harvesting some things from the garden.

We get help with groceries from our bosses, but the standard method is to buy them, save receipts and be reimbursed. Which is fine, except once we pay our bills we don't have any cash to use for said groceries. I think I may have gone off on a tangent there, sorry.

On the bright side we do have an ample selection of meat, plus eggs, milk, and as much as I can haul in for $20 at the Saturday market. This week I didn't go to market.
