Garden salad

Cottage cheese with sliced tomato, beet, chopped carrot and the petals of an edible chrysanthemum. The beet turned out to be bitter, which made everything else taste funny. A very sad ending for a salad I’ve been looking forward to....

Craigslist for local?

I don’t have any actual recommendations...but I accidentally found Upick strawberries in my area under the Farm and Garden heading on Craigslist.

Hamburgers

Craving for red meat. Hamburgers, big fat ones, on ciabatta rolls with grilled onions, colby cheese, and big slabs of avocado.

Craving still not satisfied...what it really wants is steak.

Pork, I mean Turkey, Buns

Modified the Pork Buns recipe in the 5-minute a day bread book by using turkey--simmered in chilis and tomatoes and then baked in a bread with cornmeal in the dough.

Cherry Pies

2 - beautiful - just came out of oven - pics later. Cherries were pie cherries from farmer’s market that I pitted and froze ready to use (with sugar added) this summer.
