This is the first tractor I ever drove. It is still being used on the farm today. It is quite small compared to modern farm equipment, but this little guy still has his role pulling hay wagons.
During WW II tractors were not manufactured in America. The order for this tractor was placed in 1945. My dad recalls as a young boy waiting patiently on this new arrival for almost 2 years.

Spring Salad with Roasted Pine Nuts and Feta Cheese
The Gourmet Farm Girl
With Spring close by I have been in the mood for salads, as well as getting into my garden to plant some of these tender leaves. Here is a nice combination of greens and flavors. I buy my greens in bulk; it is much more economical and you get a lot more salads.
Mixture of:
Red Leaf Lettuce
Baby Frisee
Shaved carrots
Toasted pine nuts
Feta cheese
Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
The Gourmet Farm Girl
6 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons of quality balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon of brown sugar, honey or 2 packets of Splenda sweetner
Pinch of cracked pepper and sea salt
Serves 4
ENJOY!
My first garden over 25 years ago…
I love chocolate…who doesn’t?
Here is a great way to enjoy a sweet treat and get some health benefits
Take a 1 oz piece of dark chocolate and top with some cracked almonds, fresh blueberries and a drizzle of my fudge sauce (see Ice Cream Cake recipe) Microwave for 8-10 seconds just to soften…sprinkle with powdered sugar

Strawberries or raspberries would work well too
A glass of red wine goes wonderful with this
ENJOY!
