history
- Our Flying Cloud was built in Santa Fe Springs, California around 1962. Airstream manufactured the Flying Cloud model from 1950-1963, so this one was the end of the line.
- It was originally registered as #11229 in the Wally Byam Caravan Club International, or so we have heard.
- We took over this blog along with the trailer from the previous owners. We are the Flying Cloud's fifth owners.

summer's bounty
Our weekly CSA ration is turning into a haul. Today we got green beans, onions, garlic, lettuce, scallions, leeks, basil, and zucchini and summer squash in all sizes and colors. We've been enjoying the surprise grab bag of food each week and love that it is all so fresh and local. I especially like that we are getting varieties of vegetables that we would rarely find in the grocery store, like speckled lettuce and patty pan squash. Of course it would be better if I was growing all this stuff myself, but not happening this year. (My mom has lamented several times that she has already canned 5 dozen quarts of green beans and they keep on coming.... Gosh I wish I had the same problem. Gosh she is lucky.) Last night I made last week's heirloom beets and we actually really liked them (using this recipe and extra brown sugar). Also found this LA Times article on zucchini to help make a dent in the supply. Tomorrow night's project.
