Living off the fat of the land

I love winter.  I love the shutting down, the darkening, the silence of it. 
So right now, from the gardens, we are only eating potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, garlic and onions.  In the freezer and in jars we have tomatoes, beets, applesauce, raspberries, peaches, basil pesto, sweet corn, green beans, grape juice, pickles, sauerkraut, and plum jam .   Not bad for part-time gardeners.  Arugula and spinach are sprouted outside, but who knows if it will make it.  We didn't exactly get an early start.
In the spirit of supporting family and trying to be more socially interactive (soon!  tags!  maybe!) I will add my nephew's youtube video about their darling cat, Truman.  Merry Christmas.
