Tortilla Press

I made this fancy shmancy torilla press this weekend with Del's help! I have made flour tortillas several times and rolled them out with a rolling pin, but I found this design in a book for making corn tortillas and thought it would be a fun project. I would like to paint it at some point. We also made the first of 3 trellises for the garden...pictures to come soon! My peas, lettuce, and spinach have all sprouted. I look forward to seeing if I can keep them alive long enough to eat them!

Almost ready to plant...

Del came out to the garden with me yesterday and we really got a lot done. We are going to build a border around it tomorrow and I should be ready to plant peas, spinach, lettuce and possibly radishes after we finish building. We are also going to build a few trellises, which we calculated are VASTLY cheaper to build than to buy already made. So hopefully I'll have some more good pictures to post after tomorrow.

a blog about food and life

I plan on creating a blog with a focus on simple living as something for us all to explore as a lifestyle choice, a political statement, something necessary, something beautiful. I love cooking wholesome meals and crafting something out of nothing. I want to create a place to share recipes, ideas, and life skills. So here it is: Sentient Beans.
Peace.
