today I made homemade mashed potatoes all on my own for the first time ever. I thought I should document it. I also cooked zucchini squash for the first time ever. score and score!
what I didn’t know, when I cut into the potatoes to prep them, was that these were purple potatoes (I’m new in the kitchen, c’mon!). when I cut into them, I thought they were beets and I pulled out the bag to make sure the label said “potatoes”. sure enough, my mashed taters turned out to be a fun, spring-colored purple!! it made me laugh. :D this might be the coolest colored meal I’ve ever made!
on another happy note, last Thursday night (4 nights ago), I planted my seeds in their little seed pods in hopes of having my very first garden this summer! I planted 50 edamame seeds, and then 50 more seeds (a combination of cucumbers, sugar snap peas, carrots, onions, and beets – blehhh, yuck). this morning I was BEYOND ecstatic to see little beet sprouts sproutin’ on up! throughout the day, more and more things started popping through the dirt! it’s so magical, everyone should try it!!!
I like to think the positive words of encouragement and the happy dances that surround these trays promote quick, bountiful harvests!
