2 things have happened w/in the last few days that are worthy of documenting. 1. we found the book of what/where we planted everything 2. if we hadn't found the book,the plants that we were (very poorly) guessing were eggplant plants were, in fact, tomatillo plants. don't even ask me what we were thinking. probably just wishful thinking as there is NO REASON that eggplants shouldn't thrive,but we have not been able to grow a single one, despite planting dozens.
either way,tomatillos. weird,but yay. i will seriously salsa verde-up this place.
it also looks as though a few of our heirloom tomato plants are tomato-ing!
we've gotten a bunch of potatoes this week and took in all of the garlic and a couple onions.
i made scallion pancakes the other night, which, despite what my spidzer-mom thinks, one does not eat w/syrup. they were exceptional.
i gave myself 2 blisters from "frenching" green beans, which is really the only way that i like to eat them.(i don't know why. they're just not as overwhelming) Jake got a mandoline for his birthday but i'm too scared of cutting various fingers off to ever use that,i will just deal with blisters. weird. maybe i hold knives wrong?
b/c a lot of the garlic was split and we want to be able to preserve/extend it,i chopped a bunch of it up and put it with olive oil in a jar, to be used for cooking, which is very garlic-y.
this week, we'll get the rest of the onions and will probably slice/freeze the majority of them.
greens and lettuce. lots.
