Berry Goodness

Shianne and Nora Beth picked some blackberries from the neighbors yard today. These berries are so yummy. For lunch we made one of our favorites - cottage cheese (or plain yogurt), wheat germ, local honey and the berries. It was so delicious. There are enough berries to enjoy over ice cream tonight. We will do some more picking next week for canning.

For dinner we will pan grill some razor clams that the girls and I dug in July. With the clams I will saute some veggies and make cheddar garlic biscuits. This meal is very budget friendly. The clams were free outside of the cost of the $7 annual permit and the veggies will all come from the garden or the farmers market.
This is a picture of the girls from our clamming trip in July. They had so much fun. It became a game for them to find the clam holes. We had friends over that night to enjoy our clam bounty. Even after our huge dinner, I was able to put enough clams in the freezer for two more meals. We will definately be going clamming again in the next few weeks.

I finally got to do some work in the garden today. The new planters got soil. I planted lettuces, peas, fennel, kale and carrots for the fall crop. I am excited to see if these will actually grow.
