Oops, I Did It Again–Forgot the Dark Days Challenge!

I just realized, it’s Sunday night and I didn’t do a Dark Days Challenge post last week. Or this week. Oops.

I also opted out of the Daring Bakers Challenge this time around.

With the kitchen in disarray, I have a pretty good excuse, right? That and I just realized I only have six more months in my Simply in Season challenge left! I have cooked more than 100 recipes, and have 200 remaining. Yikes. I’m going to really have to focus over the next couple of months.

Maybe I’m subconsciously blocking the Dark Days out of my mind. I really, really want spring to come. I have my very last winter CSA pickup next week. Not sure I’ll do it again next year, it’s a really long drive and I was up to my ears in root vegetables. Plus I want to check out the West Michigan C0-op.

On the bright side, I received an update from my summer CSA. They start in June, although we can get some stuff at the farmer’s market the first week of May.

Sometimes, I wish I lived somewhere warm. Don’t get me wrong, I love having four distinct seasons. I just wish winter wasn’t so long, and the other ones quite so short.

Dark Days, please become just a little more light.
