I could have sworn I posted this last week. I'm a doofus. And it's almost over. :(

I have a new batch of sauerkraut going and the other cabbage will probably make its way into soup because oh man, cabbage soup is awesome. Also made more butternut squash soup, and of course will have to do another celeriac soup because that was so f'in amazing. It's been a crazy week, though, so I haven't actually cooked that much, but most everything here keeps well, so that's okay.

Meanwhile, a picture of the kale chips I made last week: (Curly kale tends to be best for really holding the topping and looking cool, but honestly any kale turns out great. This was the Russian Red from last week's share.)

This month's food swap haul! More or less left to right:

• Cranberry Relish
• Orange Marmalade (more like nummy candied oranges)
• Cranberry Orange Granola
• Pancake Mix and Apple Cider Syrup
• Rosemary Maple Syrup Granola
• Gingered Carrot Chutney
• Pluot Jam
• Thyme Syrup
• "Peaches in the Night"

And as long as I'm posting, here's me at the press:
