What Are You Doing Today?

Vitamin B shot and 45 minutes to kill. Kohl’s was a bust. Clearance mostly damaged by overhandling, Fall merchandise all the same drab colors and screaming cheap. Sprouts, super regional health food, had nothing in the produce department that was not faint. Is that why they dimmed the lights. My jeans were in and my contact was happy, happy about a sampler box of salsas, sauces.
SO got me a Neuro appointment for Thursday morning. All he has to do is read the Audiology report which says nothing mechanical but a one time event in the past makes me dizzy. I can tell him what it was and all I need is his sign off for physical therapy.
Two laundry buckets of peppers are separated for processing. Most will have to wait in the fridge until tomorrow. One pork loin turned into sausage crumbles which I use as base for a lot of SO’s breakfasts.
 
I was fretting about all the things that need doing before the rain and wind tonite. I settled on harvesting nettle seeds. We have a LOT of nettle this year and not much else in the garden because of crappy conditions. I've got BAGS of seed heads and am no where near done. I definitely did not want all these seeds to drop back into the garden. We have enough! The seeds can be a super food. My daughter pointed out, as I have told her, that the roots are also important and can be harvested in the spring along with the new sprouts.
Sounds like a lot of work. But we need to slap the garden back into place.
I had wanted to try making spinning fiber out of nettle stalks this year but it appears that as one harvests the seed, too many side branches appear.
Who knew? We've only used nettle as a vegetable up until now.
Rumor had it that the nettle stings are good for arthritis. As I got fed up with my heavy gloves harvesting, I threw them in a bag and was working gloveless. I guess it is sort of true.
