| Boiled Dinner Aug 13, 2012 | |
|
|
Everyone (Mom and Manley) have been asking when I am doing a boiled dinner. Personally I think it is still too warm but everything is coming in so today is a boiled dinner via the pressure cooker (first time with the pc). Turnip, cabbage, carrots, onions, potato and ham. |
| MMMMMmmmmmm. My favorite. Smoked shoulder boiled dinner is my comfort meal. Enjoy. |

After church I made a huge batch of beef veggie stew. Everything was from the garden except the beef (cheap on sale). Cabbage, onions, garlic, carrots, parsley, beans, peas, and tomato sauce (last year). I canned it. This is my first time canning a stew. I know the veggies might be softer than I'd like but it is an... ...see more | |
| good idea! |
| I love experiments! |
| I'll let you know when the snow is deep and it is cold outside...good bowl of soup to remind me of my garden. |

I replanted the lettuce and beets. Told Manley where. I came home from work and he had replanted some chives and geranium where I had planted the lettuce....he felt bad...Guess I should have put up a sign. I'm going to dig through my stash and see if I have any old lettuce seeds. |
Haha. Mark doesn't plant seeds. Too little and "fussy". He only helps me trans-plant. He will say "just tel me where to dig". And he digs the holes. He will also roto-til if I tell him exactly wher... more » |
| Grrr. I always have that fear....that would so happen to us. |
Manley and I had to have a 'chat' because he plopped two mint pots on top of my beet seedlings. He said I hadn't "marked" it. I just told him 3 times. I marked the beets and they actually... more » |

I cut the broccoli yesterday, one head of cabbage, green beans and I cut the second cutting of basil. I made pesto and will have that with chicken and pasta. I made a chocolate zucchini bread, leave it to me to take something healthy and make it naughty. AND it was very naughty with cream cheese. My fat cells did a happy... ...see more |
| We keep saying we need to have a massive pesto making day. |

I'll have to take a picture of the broccoli...beautiful and the two chunks we ate were so yummy....no worms!!! The beets are so sweet this year and the beans are coming in. I am itching for a boiled dinner but we'll have to wait for the carrots and turnip to catch up. One of the cabbage is starting to split so I will... ...see more |
| I'm so jealous of your broccoli. I've tried 2 years, with no success. Our carrots are doing well but the turnips got massacred by aphids. A boiled dinner sounds awesome! Ultimate comfort food. |

| Thank you. It is a lot of work and he does a great job, I think. This was created because the moose ran through and killed some asparagus plants (stepping on them). |

My ex-husband and I got back together...while I was selling my house, he built this beautiful veggie garden and the greenhouse/potting shed in lieu of a diamond....
