We too had a rough October finacially (we own our own small business).Normally I stress when money is tight and I need to feed the family. However, God gave me peace and I was able to feed the family pretty well with very little and with a huge smile on my face and a thankful heart. Happy Belated birthday to your hubby and daughter. (I cant believe she is 21. I have been reading your blog for a number of years now)... Please continue writing. I dont mind waiting for your blogs as they are so worth it. :) Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092022954330134366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925114295361790178.post-27937806271744174622016-11-04T05:55:37.334-07:002016-11-04T05:55:37.334-07:00Oops, I've been neglecting this space.

It's what most South Africans think spinach is. Spinach, on the other hand, has a more delicate flavour. You cook them both in the same way.

First to the water restrictions and then a flood that came through our neighbourhood, ripping out what was left of my veg garden. :( .... Looking forward to a fresh start this year. I have been lucky enough to have a guy assisting in our garden this year, which I am planning to utilize completely. Glad you had a great season. <br />I’ve been wanting to ask for a while now, hope you don’t mind, what Swiss Chard tastes like? I don’t think I have ever tasted it.<br />Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092022954330134366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925114295361790178.post-77147030101046491592016-08-29T02:15:33.842-07:002016-08-29T02:15:33.842-07:00 Thank you so much Cindy.
