What's better on a brisk overcast rainy day than a hardy soup? How 'bout some lentil soup? We don't grow the lentil beans but the other ingredients did come out of our garden; tomatoes, onions, carrots, garlic and chard. It did hit the spot once those lentils softened a bit.
Last week in came lots of squash with the largest acorn squash I have ever seen. The spaghetti squash seemed to germinate this year so it's a good thing we made all that spaghetti sauce.And gorgeous green peppers...
I foresee stuffed green peppers tonight for dinner.
There's also talk of that 4 letter word - SNOW this weekend so all the remaining veggies needed to be harvested. So in came eggplant which we had some for dinner and I 'll have to figure out what to do with the remainder.
Cabbage was also harvested. It will keep in the cool garage with the squash, onions and potatoes. My job this weekend will be to make sweet and sour purple cabbage and cabbage rolls. Natureman experimented making a huge bucket of kim chee. I don't know who all is going to eat it but if you're interested come by in about 2 weeks...
If you have any recipes that you'd like to share, don't be shy, send them our way. Variety is the spice of life and in the End of the Rainbow Valley there's one guarantee as my waistline will surely attest, there is always food ...
I can't believe they are predicting snow all ready....it usually waits at least until the kids are out trick or treating.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are Queen Jester!
ReplyDeleteMade soup too, potato soup and a fish stew, perfect weather for it. It's sad to hear snow but I love the changes, our yard just opens up to the sun when the leaves are all down.
ReplyDeleteHannah , Natureman and I were saying in a couple of weeks all that color on the hill will be gone... 4 seasons are a good thing, if only winter didn't last so long!
