So, in the interest of experimentation, here are the random happenings from this week:
I drank a big glass full of buttermilk flavored with black current syrup. This was an insanely German act (the dairy cases are filled with varieties of buttermilk in various flavors), especially since it tasted delicious.
The veggies and fruits from the farm keep on a-coming, and each week I am trolling epicurious for more and more recipes for apples and carrots. I found a yummy carrot soup with ginger and lemon, and made some tasty roast chicken thighs with roasted apples wrapped in bacon. I like the way that always having a pile of apples and carrots has forced me to get creative-- at least I tell myself that as I stare at yet another kilo of apples (oh, sure, you can say that I could just EAT the apples, but darling, that is too easy).
Our raspberry plants are going wild! Maybe in a few weeks we will have our very first crop.
Today is Christi Himmelfahrt, the second official holiday in May. It's also Fathers Day, something about men filling up wagons with beer and presumeably drinking them somewhere. I can't keep up with all the beer-related holidays.

Your chicken dish sounds good. I don't think I could choke down buttermilk, even if it's flavored.
