Spring in the Garden

The garlic I planted last fall has come up. Another gardener gave me a Shasta Daisy, which I planted right in middle of my 10'x10' plot. Someone else gave me some oregano which I put in the corner of my plot. Then I seeded some peas along one side, some kohlrabi in a circle around the daisies, and today I sprinkled arugula seeds all over.

At home I have started, in a seeding tray, two types of squash, three types of tomatoes, and some cabbage. (And more arugula.) (I love arugula.)

Last year my plot was much too bare, so this year I hope to make it very crowded and fun and full of good stuff.

Amusing CLEI Code

First check definition of CLEI Code here: http://www.powersourceonline.com/magazine/2010/04/what-is-a-clei-code

My brand new stack of Cisco 2960s has the following CLEI code:

CLEI Code Number : COMFY00BRA

Fitness Update

For the months of May and June, I will be teaching:

Body Trim Thursday nights
Step Cardio Interval (or some other cardio) Friday 4:30

I'm also taking a basic pilates course Thursdays at lunch.

Should be fun! I hope my ankle holds out. It's been really cranky lately.

healthy option to tortilla chips

Start with some kind of healthy tortillas, such as these Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Tortillas. Cut them into quarters and toast them in the toaster. (They're fairly grainy and stiff, so they stand up in the toaster pretty well.) Serve up with some hummus which you've whipped up while the chips were toasting. Add a cut-up pepper and carrot, and voila!

P.S. I was put off by the name too, but they're actually quite good and tasty. Sadly they're from California. I hope I can find a more local source of such good sprouted grain tortillas.
