These are days when cooking doesn't sound like much fun, but nothing on the restaurant menu sounds all that great either. When I think about eating, I want fresh, seasonal food - crisp salads, sauteed greens, a little fish, icy fruit, or something snitched right from the garden.
In years gone by, I had a large community garden patch and some plantings at home, with up to 35 tomato plants, tomatillos, potatoes, garlic and onions, peas and beans, peppers and eggplants, cucumbers, squash, and corn, beets, radishes, greens, figs, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, and one year, even some okra. Abundance. I gifted fresh vegetables, herb starts, and froze plenty of sauce to last the winter. Hated going out to eat and paying big bucks for simple preparations of the vegetables lying in wait at home.
Any year I see tomatoes turning red for the 4th seems like victory. 3 of the Stupice on the patio have color!
