Broccoli Yes or No?
This broccoli on the stovetop was sautéed with garlic and olive oil. .
Growing up I never really cared for the taste of it.
I feel differently now.
How do you feel about this vegetable? how do you like it prepared?
Origin- Italy. Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head, stalk and small associated leaves are eaten as a vegetable. Broccoli is classified in the Italica cultivar group of the species Brassica oleracea.Wikipedia
Annual Gift of Garlic
My brother grows the most delicious organic garlic. He mailed me this wonderful gift from Okanogan Washington. Just opening up the box and looking at the bulbs is inspiring.
Pesto Yes or No ?
Pine nuts, garlic, freshly grated Parmesan, olive oil and a couple of cups of basil leaves whirled in the food processor. To me it tasted like summer.
The Harvie farm box arrived on the front porch today. When I unpacked it, it was the fragrant basil that motivated me to think of pesto.
Pesto- yes or no?
Purple Things July 2012
Reblogged from July 2012 there used to be weekly word challenges. If you’ve followed me for a time you may remember these images.
I enjoyed participating, coming up with photos to match the word of the week.
July 2012-
What I discovered is I shoot a lot of red.
I blurred my eyes to spot purple in the archives.
Yes, I made the rainbow jello to photograph. It took 5 hours. I got the recipe from my daughter Laura who found it on the web here
The one pictured is not spiked and no one ate it either. It is still in my freezer to slice and photograph with light coming through the jello like stained glass.
Purple views, white balance setting askew but it works for the challenge.
A compendium of purple.

Roasted Mushroom Ravioli
Roasted mushroom ravioli – From Leonard Labriola’s Italian Store on Freeport Road.
I boiled it in salted water first. Seven minutes maybe. Drained. Sautéed in pan with chopped portabellas cooked in olive oil and a bit of butter and garlic.
Summer Garden Soup
Garlic, onions in olive oil, cabbage, carrots, celery, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, and white beans. Even better day two. Add some Parmesan.
Annual Garlic Shipment from my Brother
Thanks David.
Annual Gift of Organic Garlic
I can count on my brother to ship the most delicious garlic. He grows it in Okanogan, Washington and sends it to me in Pittsburgh. So fresh and aromatic when roasted, sautéed, baked, minced, smashed, rubbed- you name it! Thanks David. ❤️
Happy Birthday to my Brother
David grows the best raspberries. And The best garlic. You’ve seen the garlic on the blog before. He’s an excellent gardener, working long and hard hours every day.
I’ve stood in his garden by the raspberry canes. Picked the delicious berries. Nothing like eating a berry warmed in the sun. I can eat about as many as I put in the pail.
Happy Birthday David.
