Our tomato plants are some serious fighters this year. Somehow, we’ve managed to pick a couple handfuls of Sun Gold cherries a week for the last few weeks. In the back, those two beauties are courtesy of Whole Foods. They appear to be some type of red zebra tomato or […]
Sugar Plums Sometimes called Italian plums, or Damson, or Empress (though I believe there are differences between Damsons and Empress plums), they’re also called prune plums.
Sugar Plums, Sliced
Add sugar and freshly ground cinnamon.

These are awesome. And, they’re still a work in progress. As you can see, the ones in back were a bit overcooked. So, watch these carefully as you fry them. Stale bánh mì make a pleasantly acceptable substitute for Cuban bread in a pinch. I might even go so far […]
The raspberry sprouts have graduated to full grown vines. Hopefully, they’ll survive the winter. Currently all of the raspberry and black berry bushes are still alive. Optimistically, the Dwarf Elberta peach looks about half alive. The Bonfire peach is on its last legs. And, the Kadota fig tree is a […]

Juliet, I do love thee.
Juliet Takes Second Place
And, Sun Gold Cherries Drops To Third By a Nose But, really, they’re all winners. Something’s eating […]
Quick To Shrivel
By the time the third sunchoke hit the plate, they’d shriveled even more.
Love them or hate them? Neither, but, they’re tasty. And, I’d make them again. Next time, I’d like to try some very young ones. […]

And, the tiny bits of skin that remained were fine in the finished product.

If you’d like to make a version of Thai iced tea without Number One Brand tea or Pantai tea (that’s the one with the yellow and blue label), it’s quite easy. It just won’t have the questionable food coloring. And, in my book, that’s a plus not a minus.
Male Squash Blossoms These beautiful blossoms were jam-packed into a plastic wrapped container and slightly wilted. But, they weren’t bruised. (If they’re bruised, they won’t perk up as prettily.) And, for about $2 they were easily worth the minimal investment of time and effort.
I love all things Malaysian. And, this dish is one of my favorites. Though, it never comes close to the version at my favorite restaurant. But, when I’m trying to fill a craving, this is a decent substitute. Nasi Goreng makes 2 servings 2 cups cooked […] |
