Receta Baked Chard with Feta; a jab
My chard did a slight rebound after I gave it a thorough soaking.
I actually watered it with the intent of softening the ground so I could pull it out. Before I got the chance it started looking edible again.
Gardens are so unpredictable. I thought it was finished but I’ve managed to scrounge dinner from it every night since I’ve been back.
Fall chard is a little thicker and tougher than spring chard, better suited for baking than stir-frying.

I need a tetanus shot…. Not desperately, but I haven’t had one in 9 years and it’s time for a booster. When one works in a potager like mine, which regularly churns up rusty knives, scissors and nails, it’s rather important to keep current on the tetanus shots..
So…. this is how one gets a tetanus shot in France:
I went to the doc and got a prescription for the shot.
Then I went to the pharmacy and got the syringe.
Now I need to find a nurse to give me the injection. Fortunately that’s easy as my French neighbor is a home-care nurse.
I could give it to myself, of course. Mon mari always gives himself his flu shot (same procedure). But when I opened the packet there were two needles in one compartment and a rather large syringe in another.
I decided I’d rather have a professional jab me. (The flu shot is an all-in-one, easy to use syringe.)
Finally, the next time I see the doc I take the paper back and he records it all in my file.
Did I mention I hate needles? (Not as nearly as much as I hate spiders….)
