Monday 8/13 Food Supply

After a very short weekend, Monday has come around the corner once again. It seems like ever since my husband and I started to do house repair work, the weekends never seem long enough. Last weekend we painted our garage door and window. At first it doesn't sound like a lot of work but after seeing the condition the garage was in, we knew it was going to take awhile. We live in a house that is over 70 years old, so repairs are a bit longer than in a newer house. But, who can complain about the unique old-fashioned house architecture! This weekend we chose to repaint some decorative fencing that is on top of our roof. It is almost like a "fake" porch in a way - with white fencing on top. Anyways, it was a lot of work. We have one more section to go and two more porches to do.

But, you aren't here to hear about our painting work I am sure. :) So, after our Saturday full of painting our house, we went to a great concert. It was a big band that plays every week at a Chicago's oldest Jazz Bar. It was held in a location that holds a few gardens, so it was beautiful! The best part was walking through the gardens and seeing all the trees, shrubs and flowers in their natural state. We got some great ideas for our own personal garden! Plus, I made a great Japanese bento!!! Most of it was raw however some of it was vegan only. I forgot to take pictures though, sorry. :(

Coming up next are a few recipes that I really enjoy to make with photos!!
