I made this salad again, but this time used organic kamut pasta. I also used my homemade organic, chive blossom infused red wine vinegar in the dressing. Next time I will swap the salt for my homemade jalapeno salt. I will possibly add chicken next time as well. It is missing cilantro, as my two plants went to seed, and my newly planted seeds have not grown large enough plants yet.
Our air quality was dangerously high yesterday, and it was much worse (higher number) where my husband was working. The number climbed as the day went on too. I felt horrible for my chickens. It was awful. The smoke in the air burned my throat and eyes just going out to the mail or chickens. Probably the only reason you are getting a post from me today, ha ha! Stuck inside. I did a lot of meal prep though too.
Between the news constantly broadcasting about the wide spread parasite issue, and the smoke from the Canadian fires, I have turned on my radio instead. Don't get me wrong, I love to have cognitive clarity when it comes to our health, but the news go on and on and on about stuff, with no real answer either. It has however, awakened our eyes to why we grow a garden. We have joked about getting a milk cow, or getting dairy goats again, but who knows.
Something that just blew our minds at the grocery store. We have been buying our meats from local sources over the last year, but prior to that we bought the organic ground beef at the local grocery store. It used to be around $4.99-$6.99/pound. We were flabbergasted at the current "sale" price of $20.00!!! For one pound! On sale no less. It's insane. No one can afford that.
Okay, off my soapbox in regards to that, but we are praying for some rain here. We need this smoke gone, and our gardens watered. I'm off to cause some ruckus around here....
