Chickpeas and Basil Moroccan Style

Basil - think pad kra pow! Thai stir fry basil

This is a super quick and easy hot dish you can whip up whenever you want something fresh and filling with a little kick. The basil I grew this summer is still alive and well. Yesterday, I harvested a big bag of leaves. Lunch time rolled around today and I intended to make Thai stir fry basil, but I didn't have any celery. So, I…

Yep, all these peppers you're harvesting just about now have more than just the obvious use. A coffeeshop buddy named Bill told us yesterday that jalapeno lemonaid sounded…

A Great Day at McRorie Community Garden

A Great Day at The Garden

Yes, it's that time of year in this brilliant place, Florida. You know what I mean. If you live anywhere that has citrus, you are fully aware of this phenomenon. It's called Spring. 

 

I can remember excitedly telling people that March is the best month to visit Florida. People in California, for example. Funny. People in Chile. Even more…

The Omnivores Dilemma and Everything Else...



Whenever I begin a blog post with the title "...and Everything Else...", I'm going to do some free associating. So brace yourself.



It's a sunny day here in the Swamp (as I affectionately call Florida, where I live now). Here I am, minding my own business and just piddling around. I really should be outside, riding a cool, red bike I just got. Click the photo below to go to the Bike Zoo and read along with me… Continue

Pepper Dress

A Great Day at the Garden



Yesterday, I rode to the garden on the new bike. My goal was to peek underneath the leaves of the plant I thought was an arugula, but that I now suspected was a Daikon radish.





And, sure enough, there was the white root that confirmed it as a Daikon!

A Good Day at the Garden







The spring harvest yielded wonderful vegetables. There's a view of Sh'mal's patch in May '08. You can see the collard greens in the center, which are the hardiest veggies in the patch. Just to their right is kale. The garlic chives (three sprouts on the bottom of the photo) make for delicious additions to salads and many recipes. The Daikon radishes are huge. See the lush, soft patch of lamb's quarters near… Continue
