When she said eggplant, how much it costs, the first person I thought of was you @pepperhead212 . I almost made a comment about the good price at the pepperhead residence in the coming july or august. You put in a few months of seedling care, then 2-3 months of gardening care, the magically (or...

I'm in midwest in the US, (WI), and ours are running $1.99/lb or $2.39/1.20lb each. Soft is okay, where it springs back, mushy is not.

I appreciate you kept us informed on gardening in the southern hemisphere while we went through winter. The end of the gardening season is both a blessing with some sadness for the end of the season.

battered breaded baked

Inspired by @Aunt Bea talking about battered breaded baked food. We had 2 lbs of big bella mushrooms BBB with or without dipping sauce. (aldi's had 8 oz containers of them for $1.29 this week) They were delicious. We each ate big servings and there's two smaller servings left for planned overs...

mmmmmm eggplant sandwiches. Yesterday I saw a bag of battered breaded and baked eggplant slices in the freezer. They were chanting "sandwich sandwich sandwich".

When I was growing up, my dad's side of the family served a slice of ham on a slice of potica (walnut honey pastry). Here's an apple pie in a paper bag to go with the ham. They make it at a local place here. https://www.elegantfarmer.com/pies-crisps/

I had baked corn tortillas with salsa and avocado. He had couscous and tomato mushroom sauce with pudding, again.

From what I've read, tomatoes used to be more acidic but now we have many tomatoes that aren't as acidic as they used to be. Plus some canners have never used 'safe' recipes and they keep using them. So for taste without regard for safety, there are dozens of recipes with differing amounts of...

If you want to follow recipes from safe sources like https://nchfp.uga.edu/#gsc.tab=0 or university extensions or ball or https://www.bernardin.ca/recipes/default.htm?Lang=EN-US then there is a huge facebook group Canning and Preserving with Love. They only recommend these methods. If you...

I use a peeler and peel it in stripes leaving about 1/3rd of the peel, then when I slice it there are some areas with and some without peel. If I don't peel it at all and put the slices in a dish, they are tough and don't break easily. It's up to you.

Water level in canners. In a waterbath canner the water level is 1-2 inches above the jar lids. In a pressure canner the water level is usually below the level of the lids. A pressure canner that can hold 7 qt jars will have water well below the jar lids and if using 1/2 pint or pint, then even...

Mr bliss had some oral surgery today, so I'm inventing soft food. His favorite is ww spaghetti w/tomato mushroom sauce, so I'm making couscous with tomato sauce (using powdered spices herbs and mushrooms). I mashed chickpeas to go on the side, for added satiety. I made some vanilla pudding...

It was an unusually warm day here in WI, almost 80 deg F today. I had a cold salad of diced beets and onions, chickpeas, ac vinegar, pepper and nu-salt. The bee people sent me a tin of see's chocolates for mom's day. I cut them all in half so WE could see what was inside. They don't comply with...

A mom could make a meal of it! Thanks @birthdaygirl. (taxy) For the rest of the year we'll call you the birthday girl.

@pepperhead212 OMG what a perfect mother's day treat! Awesome! Is this also the dinner thread?

Happy Mother's Day! Children are a gift from God. That would be you.

@SGM Chef really nice pictures. Sorry taxi, not mine. I looked last night and didn't see the lights. SGM, what time did you see them? I looked at 10:30 pm last night but didn't see it!

Happy Birthday Taxy! May it be filled with good memories and future adventures. You DID?! Cool! Good idea! I bet mushrooms and zucchini would both be good. I need to remember that for the next time we have large whole mushrooms (instead of the sliced ones). We have done the cauliflower wings...

I had breakfast for dinner, carrot slaw and grain flakes. I hadn't had any beans all day so I had some seasoned tempeh and beets. We're still eating watermelon, yum.

Since about February we've been on an organizing/sorting/throwing away/donating kick. We are limited by volume to throwing out by a big weekly bin. Every wednesday at between 3 and 7 pm, him and I go through some area of the house, boxes or storage, in every room of the house. Once the bin is...

I've made onion slabs, baked battered breaded out of yellow onions. Our long keepers are currently mostly utah yellow (the patterson's were good too) and I'm surprised how well they are lasting STILL in may this year, only a few have sprouted. Since the bee company gets their families bees out...

Today was a weird day for eating. I had beet greens, beet stems, veggie rice, seasoned tempeh, then later, a lot of seedless watermelon. Watermelon is such a nice treat!

I would use it for tenderizing meats (if we ate meats). It would also be handy in the kitchen if someone broke into your house, you have a weapon. (no joke) *newspaper headlines: woman protects family against burgler with meat tenderizer-go you!*

The best time to make fondue is when the children are too little to sit at the table or they are almost grown up. It's a hazard otherwise. https://www.thesisterskitchen.com/fondue/ This recipe page has a coq au vin broth, veggies and meats, 3 dipping sauces. You could pick all his and your...
