Finally made it to the farmer's market - now I remember, I hate the crowds! But some good finds: wax beans, tomatoes (mine are still friggin' green!), peaches the size of softballs, and a huge stalk of scallions. I also bought some corn from a guy I used to have a huge crush on eons ago (in college, the first time around).

I made Randi's New York deli potato salad... and used honey instead of the sugar. Extremely good. Thanks Randi :eek:)

Eating a warm homemade molasses cookie right now

I have sooooo much blueberry and/or mulberry jam/jelly in the refrigerator. Can I freeze it without cracking the jars? No, should probably transfer them to plastic containers.

Gotta buy tahini for more hummus

Cooking Egyptian edamame stew with added turkey tenders tomorrow... this oughta be good (BTW, what is molten garlic?)

 
You mean you can do that after they're done, as if you are just processing them for the

first time? I suppose I'll have to get some seals then, I just used old jars with screw tops. Thanks.

 
my six

My dear friend ended up in the hospital yesterday---possible meningitis. they have a 2 yr old son and are also my cabin neighbors. they helped me out so much when I lost my husband and every time we're at the cabins. I spent 3 hours helping his wife clean their kitchen and downstairs squeaky clean. also picked up some groceries. Felt good to be able to return the favors they gave me.

came home to a messy house---will tackle my kitchen tomorrow for a good scrubbing. I'm inspired.

was hungry for cabbage rolls but not enough time, so I made it into a casserole instead. smells good! will be dinner tomorrow

crunchy tacos tonight. those flat bottom shells are genius.

gin, lime and Fresca is pretty tasty.

Safeway discontinues their bonus gas discount today at midnight. bummer. .10/gal helps.

 
Saturday 6 on Sunday.....

1 Started on Friday, I had a sleep over yipee...our GD and 2 friends.
We all met at the wonderful beach bar where there is a huge fireball on the beach as it gets dark. Fed the parents some drinks then they left and fed the girls with pizzas. Got a movie (their choice, Get Smart and 16 Again). Home and watched one movie.

2 Next am they up early watching t'other movie and I started on Jaffles for them. These went down well...duck egg, tomato slices, gouda cheese (DH and I had crispy bacon and fried onion in ours...YUMM!

3 Gave the watercolour art class I give on Sat ams...get very excited to watch the students progress. Usually I make a treat but this time I had chocolate Grisbi and Oreo biscuits to offer.

4 Worked on the cooking class menus and thumped the chicken breast to cook in banana leaves today

5 A friend popped over to discuss how I am going to have these HUGE cow horns made into a candle stand...I brought these huge horns back from Zambia in March...decided to sit them on the wide base and have the pointy bits uppermost...am pleased with the concept. Can I find a metalwork to do the rest????? ON island???

6 This friend stayed on as DH finished more of his big project pressure washing, painting and setting up the gutters on that side of the house...big project, I so admire him doing this....anyway friend was still here drinking beers then rum 'n cokes etc so I quickly put some snacky things on to bake, Chicken Cordon Bleu's, English pork sausages, fried up some onion parathas and those with cherry tomatoes, and the coconut sauce (which thickend into a dipping sauce) and a chilli sauce did us very well....hate to admit I finished off a bottle of rose...
Lovely day altogether.

 
Great, yes please...I did grow some but as with everything I cant..

get them doing as well as I'd like...I need the seeds again and I want to get New Zealand spinach seeds again. The spinach grows well (I grew this in SA first) but the nursery has not brought in either of these seeds in again.
Do send me the article, thanx.
