Ugh.
Ok, after all that bluster, I went quiet. Mainly because of the WORST STOMACH BUG EVER! I'm still barely coherent. More to come.

More Pie!
Made a fabulous strawberry pie last night, and found more fruit stashed in our big freezer than I'd anticipated. Oh no, I'll have to make more pies! Whatever will I do?
Next step: to reinvigorate my knitting which, given some personal crises of the past few months, has fallen by the wayside in favour of sitting and staring into space. That has its rewards, but homeknitted goodies is not one of them. Made G a sweater over the past few weeks, but I really miscalculated the gauge, so it looks like it's made out of llama wool, and weighs about as much as a llama. Might have to take it apart and make something else with bigger needles.
The lesson I've learned from knitting is that when you make a small mistake, you can usually fix it, and when you make a big mistake the best strategy is to face up to it, undo as much as you can, and start again with a revised plan.

Time to Blog!
After many fits and starts, the Kale Lady has decided to restart this blog in earnest. We'll see if anyone actually reads it.
Many many life changes in the past few months, but I still have cherries, peaches, and blueberries in the freezer, plus a bunch of frozen apple segments, so it's time to start making pies before the summer starts up and all we'll want is fresh fruit.
My newest desire: a Vitamix blender. Pluses: there's nothing it doesn't do. Minuses: it costs more than $300. Hard choice.
