Wednesday, One More Tortue Day And We Are Off!

Up and at ’em!  We were ready for the trip to the torture chamber by 8:15 am and did 45 minutes on the stationary bikes before being called into the chamber, tied to a big machine, and had our muscles moved in very unnatural ways!

After the gym, we refilled our calories at the local bagel bar and then home to put the final touches on the packing.

Our cleaning team arrived about 1:00 p.m., and we left for the garden while they cleaned tho office and the master bedroom.

We planted peanuts in the garden a month ago an, and we expect a super crop in about two more months.

Goober—a nickname for peanuts—comes from “nguba”, the Congo language name for peanut.  By law, any product labeled “peanut butter” in the United States must be at least 90 percent peanuts.

We are gonna have peanuts in about 65 days!

The Mexican  squash was doing well, but we had to send them home with Domi as we will be gone and they will get too big. Mild in flavor and varying in size from baby to medium to large, Mexican squash sports a pale green thin edible skin. Appearing nearly seedless, its tasty flesh is whiter and sweeter than zucchini. Shaped somewhat like zucchini, this variety is most often larger more e, more extensive,.

The Mexican squash is milder and sweeter than zucchini and has green, speckled skin. Can you eat the skin on Mexican squash? Yes.

The rest of the afternoon, and had a small dinner before Irene joined us.  We crashed around 9:00 pm as we had to be up at 1:30 am to await our ride.
