Summertime is busy here on the homestead. Some weeks on this site we do not add a recipe or a foraged food. Some weeks we spend the same time writing and editing on the website itself.
Working On It!
Summer has extra sunny hours – and that just means we try to cram more into the day. Start in the garden as the sun comes up – but carefully! That’s when the snakes are out. Work outdoors until it heats up too much, then perhaps a siesta in the hottest part of the day, and more work as the sun goes down.
This week we worked on our Homestead page. It has been sadly neglected for over a year.
August 2026
The Persiad meteor showers make night time a wonderful time to sit down and relax after a hard days work. Now if only I could convince all those people that live out here that Tucson is supposed to be a Dark Sky community. Just because your electricity is “free” with your solar panels does NOT mean you need to light lights at night to keep the things that go bump in the night from scaring you. Silly city people.
Our Honey Cookbook
Using Honey in New and Savory Ways offers 36 pages of tips for using honey in your cooking, as well as in all manner of dishes. Singned by at least one author and mailed to you!
We hope you will help support some local Southwest folks!
From the review:
“Honey is for more than desserts – and this book can help! Using honey in cooking savory dishes helps engage all your taste buds and adds a layer of added flavor to everyday dishes – plus holiday fare.”
Beekeeper? We offer volume discounts – because if you sell in local markets you might want to offer some of these books as well.
