Cooking at the Farm & Planting Trees

---

Cooking requires creativity living in the countryside. Away from home, food supplies, spices, etc… are limited, so one simplifies.

For lunch, today, I mixed leftover chicken breasts which I cut into strips and added potatoes, peppers, onions and garlic. Then I squeezed a lemon 🍋 that I picked from a tree and added a little olive oil, salt & the only spice I could find: good ‘ole turmeric

I placed the mix in our trusty air fryer, set it at 380 degrees and let it cook for around 20 minutes — taking a look at it half way and mixing the batch.

After lunch, we took a little break and the head back out to plant more trees, Bougainvillea, a climbing vine at the entrance of our farmhouse — in order to create a kind of floral archway.

Lastly, because the grass was spare by the cement pavement, we added more topsoil and seeds to help it grow back. Then, we covered the grass seeds with hay — so that they wouldn’t become food for birds.
