Still Processing... and not the Fact Walker's Withdrawing from the Presidential Race

Last week was chock full with the holidays followed by a Bar Mitzvah, dinner with neighbors and the Driftless Art Festival during the weekend which meant a lot of eating and definitely not leaving much time

to accomplish much at home.  

The eggplant, swiss chard,  and squash still needed to be harvested with our first frost not far off. 

This was only 3 plants worth.

It was a glorious day to be outside. I even used the excuse to stay out on the front porch to derib the chard before blanching, then chopping it for bagging and freezing.

Of course I had to leave out some for dinner what could be more perfect for dinner than a eggplant lasagna? 

Eggplant strips replaced noodles and the swiss chard became the spinach suggestion along with End of the Rainbow Valley spaghetti sauce, morel mushrooms, garlic and tomatoes.

Here's the recipe link although ours was made without meat:

There's a lot of squash in our future meals...

And another bit of good news is there's one less rotten tomato that won't be stinking up the nation. Sorry Koch brothers  the money you purchased Walker's campaign with is non refundable. Seriously, think of all the food you could have bought for the poor... 900 million dollars worth is a lot of vegetables...
