Beam me up Scotty!

I lied.  We have red tomatoes already.  I was hoping for a small break in between what is harvested, but God has another plan, ha ha!  

I've been so tired, and worn out, and have not even had "tea time" on the porch lately.  Today, I'm making time.  I need the energy restored.

I was walking from the coffee pot to the computer with a cup of coffee, and said to myself, "beam me up Scotty."  My 19 year-old was shocked, her eyes went wide, and she asked, "what did you just say?"  Ha ha!  She was surprised I knew a Star Trek catchphrase.  
 

If you are wondering, I made two batches of homemade flour tortillas.  I made these with 8 tortillas per batch, so it was a bit time consuming, but delicious. 
 

They are pretty simple to make, but using canola vs. lard takes more time frying them.  When I use lard I can use the griddle.  I have three vegetarians in the house, and to make it easier just used my canola oil recipe.  One of these days, I'll have enough time to get some into the freezer for winter meals.

We had "chicken tacos" but with the flour tortillas.  I roasted a home raised chicken for them.  You layer cooked chicken, a cooked mixture of corn, black beans and cumin, salsa, and a mix of cabbage, carrots and cilantro.  Our vegetarians just skipped the chicken.

I didn't take many photos yesterday, I was that tired.  I am sitting here procrastinating everything today.  Literally.  I need to exercise, then weed.  Oh the weeds....

The walking is very important to my health, as I have varicose veins from popping out so many kids.  I had them stripped from one leg, but not the other, and it's been bothering me, even with weight loss.  I have discovered that gently rubbing my calendula healing lotion on them, has helped with reducing inflammation.  I'm also researching tinctures, teas, and other foods to help them.  I really don't want to go under surgery, so until I lose all the weight I need to, I'll be pampering one leg and experimenting.  I'll be eating a lot more blueberries too.
