One of our main reasons for growing food is that we LOVE to cook and eat and yet, ironically, it feels like we havn’t had any time to cook or eat lately. The lowest we’ve “sunk” recently was me spoon feeding take out roti to Grant as we drove back to the farm at 11pm. The opposite of “slow food”. hehe
We’ve since promised each other to make more time to cook and eat together and with friends or at least leave the other some leftovers.
In contrast to us eating take out in the car, we have been receiving amazing and sometimes hilarious feedback, pics, texts and recipes from everyone. It is so inspiring to hear and see what everyone has been cooking up with the veg we grew. It’s making me hungry just thinking about it. Here are some samples from the last few weeks.
Grilled Tomatillo Salsa
“Thanks for the beets, lettuce and garlic fronds… sauteed the beet greens last night. SO delicious! Having the beets roasted on the BBQ tonight. The butter lettuce is yummy with simple oil and vinegar dressing. We are spoiled…”
