When taking pictures, I always start with fruit. Not sure why
Green muscadines make nice and not insipidly sweet jelly. I had some success here.
The beans can be broken up and stir-fried or cooked like any other green bean. I was considering a stir-fry with the lemongrass, garlic, beans, and Asian pear. Asian pears are cool because they don’t get mushy when stir-fried. Think sweet, crisp water chestnuts.
I’ve decided, though, to poach my pears with lemongrass syrup. Here’s the recipe I have my eye on.
Most of the tomatoes will get cooked down to sauce. The tiny little ones I added to salad.
Speaking of salad…
The lettuce disappeared in a couple of days. Such a nice summer treat. Hooray for greenhouses!
The arugula we are working through. It’s peppery but nice with a little olive oil. We tossed it with some sautéed shrimp and pasta one night for a good supper.
The six ears of corn were delicious and gone in three meals. I used the new potatoes to make a corn chowder recipe that is an old family favorite
How neat is this – a local frozen emergency pizza! I think we might have an emergency very, very soon.
Enjoy your food!
