Miscellaneous Musings

How come when we put laundry outside it smells fresh and wonderful.

But when we put dogs outside they smell like stinky sweaty dog?

****************************************************************

Finally picking stuff from the garden.  Mostly I’m blanching and freezing stuff.
Day 1:  Cauliflower….

“God, what is that smell?  Does someone have gas?”

“I’m blanching cauliflower”

“Well, it stinks.”

“I know.”

Day 2:  Cabbage / Stuffed Cabbage….

“Jesus!  What is that smell?”

“I’m making stuffed cabbage.  The cabbage is from the garden!”

“It stinks….OMG…. The whole house reeks!”

“I know.

Day 3:  Broccoli……

“Oh my God, did the dog fart?   Damn!  What did you feed the dog?”

“I’m blanching broccoli”

“Oh my God it stinks”

“I know”.

((They’ll thank me in the winter.))

Garden Monday
Now I’m cookin!

Monday Garden Club .

It’s Garden Monday at Feet Off The Table!
.

Lot’s of happenings in the garden this week.  My lettuce.  Oy vey.   The seed packet clearly says iceberg lettuce with a picture of a HEAD of lettuce on it.   Well.  No heads here.  I ended up ripping these out of the garden since they were going to seed!  

My cucumbers are just climbing all over the place.  Mostly up the fence.  I even found one that grew into a pea plant.

I picked quite a few things this week, just look at this beautiful head of cabbage!

And the cauliflower is no longer tiny but ready for pickin! 

I even made a roasted veggie dish!  Not a tiny one, this one fed the whole family.

The next day I made stuffed cabbage and had enough for 11 rolls plus a pan of sauteed cabbage and zucchini in an onion and sweet butter sauce.

I had to thin out my zucchini’s as they were too crowded.  I never knew just how big zucchini plants got.  So I pulled out every other one.   The ones left were yelling in their tiny little green voices…..Air!  Sun!  Thank you!  And within a couple days, they have a lot of good new regrowth!
