We had a bit of rain on Thursday..but nothing to really mention and have been promised more in the coming week, but we are now being advised to cut back on water consumption by 20% each household, so I might not be planting a lot of tender vegetables this year, we will just have to wait and see.
We did get some snow pack in the Sierra's with this last "storm" which is where some our water comes from.
The menu for delivery tomorrow:
2 great vegetable packed soups, a hearty Minestrone with broccoli
and a Butternut squash with shitake mushrooms and sherry.
Some of my clients are trying to do a high protein diet but are not eating enough green vegetables so it is up to me to sneak them in wherever possible.
