Thwarting Deer

It is so great living in the woods. Except if you want to grow things deer like to munch on. Which is pretty much everything. Scott and his dad worked on a fence for a new and improved garden. I am so excited it is done! Now we just have to build the new beds and I will be set to go for next year. I will be planting some garlic and shallots along with my other flower bulbs this fall to give them a head start.

I made up a recipe today with what I had on hand for curried tuna melts. They were actually very good.

Curried Tuna Melts
1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 T thinly sliced green onions
2 T craisins
¼ cup chopped cashews
2 t lemon juice
pinch salt
1 t curry powder
4 slices hearty bread
4 slices Cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, onions, craisins, cashews, lemon juice, salt and curry powder. Spread about 1/4 cup on each slice of bread and top with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I am working on my cookbook and it is going slow and steady. The hardest thing is remembering to take pictures when I make things. Some items I don't make very often so if I forget to take a picture it is quite disappointing.

Maddie had fun at preschool today. I do think she is teething though as everything is going in her mouth again and she has been really sleepy lately. Hopefully the teeth will come in soon.
