Manic Monday

We got a lot done yesterday, people. Feels good. We went for our 5 year renewal for our Food Safety Manager Certificate. We can not stress this enough - WASH YOUR HANDS!!! Single most effective tool against germs. Our instructor made an excellent point; when you use hand sanitizer, where do all those "killed" germs go? They're just sitting on your hands in a pile of goop. Wash your hands to rinse them clean.

We also went to pick out the awning skirt for our super nifty poly roof. Found one that matches our colors and the city's requirements. Can't wait to up the shade ante a bit! The roof makes a huge difference with our western exposure; 12 inches of awning skirt will lower our energy usage even more.

Last, but hardly least, we got insulation in our attic. We got dry blown fiberglass. I know, I know; I was hesitant at first, too. But it is recycled fiberglass, it is NOT treated with caustic chemicals like the batting kind, and any moisture that might just happen to permeate our oh-so-precarious roof will not pool and mold, as it would with blown cellulose. We can not always make the ideal choice, but we strive to make the best one available to us.

Available to all of us right now is a plethora of Florida grown produce! If you have not been to your farmers market, local fruit stand or nearest u-pick, now is the time. Prices and quality are excellent, so stock up. Any extras, blanche and freeze. We hope to have our Links Page up soon, to assist you in finding your nearest local grower. Meantime, have a delicious day!
