Gettin' There

This is a coffee cake I made a few months ago. One of two, actually, and took to class to feed my students. There's a long story associated with why I made coffee cakes to begin with, but I was rather proud of how they turned out and took pictures of them before I carted them to work. 

For lack of a better picture tonight, you get coffee cake. 

What I had hoped to show you by now would be tiny little bean, squash, and pea sprouts from my awesomely and timely planted peat cups. They would be so lovingly cared for, real and true proof of how I am embracing at least parts of this back to nature, good for you, simple lifestyle I profess to want.

Well, we all know how that goes. It doesn't help that the supposed best time to plant things in South Florida is in the fall, which *technically* isn't here yet. That gives me time, I figure. By nature, I am something of a procrastinator, though I have definitely gotten better about that.

I had also sort of planned on doing it this long weekend (when it didn't happen as immediately as the tomato planting did), but at this point, that's probably a no-go, as well. *If* I am recovered by Monday, maybe. But that's a big ol'  maybe (read: probably not).

They will get done, because I still feel the urge. It's just not as strong as it was. The fact that it exists at all is huge though, trust me on that. And all the results will be here, should there be any. The plan is to feed my mom fresh beans and squash and peas when she comes for Thanksgiving.

Anyone want to bet on if that happens? I bet yes!  :D

(And for the record - Tomato count now at 3!!)
