I just finished a fabulous spring salad mix salad + cukes, peeled, tomatoes, fresh dill (my garden), fresh garlic--the store, and fresh basil (my garden). I did add a " pinch " of salt. Yes some olive oil and apple cider vinegar. It was great and headed for more. tip: I get spring greens mix, organic, from Costco $3.49 pound and comes in a plastic tub that can have multiple uses. What a bargain too. carol Oh that souds so good! My dill plants have stayed very small, I think because of the heat - which has been 100+ degrees for over a month. We are in our eighth year of drought and the farmers are being hard hit. Insects that normally stay in the desert eating mustard plants have attacked the chili crops because the mustard dried up and we will only get 30% of the normal chili crop this year in New Mexico. The tomato plants won't produce (because of the heat),either, and 50% or more of the tomato plants got curly top (insects again), but our farmers should have some available in the fall if all goes well. I had a few tomatoes on my plants that were almost ripe and the ants ate them before I could. Sorry, I don't men to be negative. The up-side is that I have become much more environmentally concious and supportive of legislation to protect the environment as a result of not having the produce people in other parts of the country do, and also very grateful for insect resistant herbs. Herbs rock! My garden has had an abundance of garlic, mint, yarrow, basil, comrey, rosemary, parsley and sage, which grow well in spite of the climate. Drought has also opened my eyes to the fact that gratitude is the most important part of any diet! OK, off the soap box! I am making Portuguese beans, a recipe from " The Ancient Cookfire " by L'Esperance. This is a great book if anyone would be interested in reading it. The author is an Iridologist, and is also knowlegeable about Ayurveda, TCM, herbalism, fasting, cleanses, etc. She combines them all and shares what has worked for her using a seasonal system. The recipes look good too! She uses both raw and cooked foods. I also appreciate what she teaches about becoming more concious about how our bodies change along with the changing of seasons. Specific organs need attention at different times of the year and she shares a system of using seasonal foods, fasting, cleansing, and reflection as well, for balancing the body/mind. It's do-able and affordable. IThis book is my new fave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
