In my Instant Pot at the moment are 5 of the sweet potatoes from my dcousin who truck farms next door. We swapped because he needed apple cider vinegar to make his ricotta cheese from his goats' milk and had run out. He was in the middle of things and it's a time-sensitive recipe, so he was super appreciative and gave me enough potatoes to last for a week. Of course, he knew who to call because I always have my Braggs. How nice to be swapping homey things.
A big mess of collards is washed up and wrapped in paper towels and bagged. These are from the young man's ddad. Gave some to the hens.
So I'll have two dishes on the table tomorrow, of produce that came from neighbors, grown close. I may put some kale in with the collards - still thinking because they don't quite cook for the same time and I'd have to plan. Have a recipe I want to try with tomatoes, garlic and smoked paprika.
Dee, HRH will be using the fat-free sour cream as he makes our mashed potatoes tomorrow for the same reason.
A particular member of the second-in-laws is all kinds of trouble today, first deciding on a visit this morning (which made me change a lot of getting-ready plans) and then saying, no, this afternoon, but not saying when. Frustrating. HRH's mother was considering visiting at the same time if it was this morning, but nope, she says she's not bothering because she predicts this person's plans will just change again and she can't worry about driving in the dark. I hope she's wrong because shortly after dark I'm expecting dd's whole family to come in, tired from a long car trip.
