back from a long hiatus

i've been on the fence about this blog.
but i've decided to continue. you know what cinched it? the dark days challenge.

last year i rocked out about half of the required meals.
so i've even been on the fence about the challenge.

but i can't pass up a good challenge, so i am in.
i mean i can't pass up my heritage right? see exhibit a, b and c.

of course, neither u-pick or farmer's markets exist here at this temperature.
(but there just may be some farm stands open, and i will find out friday afternoon.)

dark days meal #1 is due december first, two weeks from now.
in the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for a post or two—or five, about canning.
