I only heard back from one job application, an open call sort of thing. Cheese ripening specialist. 14/hour. Sadly not enough to live off of around these parts. The hunt continues but we're also too busy with other things.

Does anyone else feel like the weekend is never enough? I feel like I wanted to do more but I also wanted to relax more. I feel like I'm a broken record about it, but it keeps coming up.

My beans are starting to vine up properly, I'm getting sick of zucchini ideas at this point, and I'm no longer prediabetic in my glucose range. I think the CSA is doing its job! Now if only I could find some recipes for beets beyond roasting and making pancakes...

Just yesterday, I was thinking about how - in the old days - Sunday was the only actual rest day people had and how wild they'd probably find us having a "weekend" to be!

Ugh about the job situation. I don't know how "they" expect us to live on poor wages when costs are so high. What the heck are people supposed to do?

I feel like the concept of only Sunday being the rest day was such a loaded term since agrarian societies had a lot of slack time between all the hard work! Not saying I want a return to the "good old days," either, just that I can understand why extra slack time was mandated to companies in order to make up for how much more intense production became as technology made more excuses for people to keep working.

I've no clue about the job cost either! There are parts in this state that are at Boston levels of realty price, but it still doesn't excuse how rent gougy these places get. Sigh.

Weekends are never enough, I always feel like I don't make the most of them. I have to choose an activity, but then I feel like I wasted it by not doing the other million activities I wanted to do! Or if I spend it relaxing, I feel like I wasted it by doing nothing.

It's a curse!

Ha, yeah, it's like you need a weekend from the weekend! I spent my Sunday gaming, but I also made a ton of jam and got groceries set up and worked on the garden and set up more D&D stuff for my players. Endless tasks!

I've never been a fan of zucchini.
What do you do with it?

[zesty_pinto]

Stir fry, add it to your sauce, cube it into a stew, etc. I've seen it used for dessert breads as well since it retains moisture really well.

It's a bit bitter but a mild butteriness as well. It's not bad grilled as well.

I've tried all of those things. Still don't like zucchini 😄
