To Do with What's Left of the Weekend

The raspberry bushes have been producing 2-4 cups of berries per day, which is a problem. Yesterday I threw out about 5 cups of raspberries that had gone moldy in the fridge (and now I see this article on how to keep fresh berries), turned another 4 cups into a batch of raspberry crumble bars, and made a batch of raspberry turnovers (with filling left over from the previous batch of raspberry turnovers, which inexplicably ran out of dough long before running out of filling). Also started a batch of bread dough, which has been rising overnight and is probably ready to turn into a loaf now. And picked up a batch of stuff from the CSA yesterday, including a double cheese share to make up for a week we were out of town, so the fridge is pretty tightly packed. We know what to do with the salad greens, and have ideas for the feta, red scallions, and green garlic. Need to think of things to do with the fennel, and the kohlrabi, and the radishes.

Still to do:

  • mow the lawn ✓

  • refresh moth traps and/or parasitic wasps on quince trees ✓

  • bake bread ✓

  • some $TECHJOB work: I'm not on pager this week, but on a shift that needs some things done over the weekend ✓

  • clear the dining room table

  • vacuum some part of the house

  • contact book-rehoming people to arrange a donation

wow you have 'pick your own' farm quantities of raspberries! Mine need better organization to produce more, I have waffled about exactly where they should be and crowded them with too many neighbors. Thinking about spreading them around and seeing where they do best.
