grumpy gardener
YumSquash casserole. Fried squash is excellent, but if you want an easier, cheesier way to eat your yellow squash, I recommend a squash casserole!

pickle it all!
YumI've been a quick-pickling machine this summer! Cukes, zukes, squash, carrots, and onions--nothing is safe!

yellow bellied
YumIt's incredible how quickly a wee, 2-inch squash can grow into the size of my foot!

Who decided to put pineapple on pizza? I'd like to know, and I'd like to give him or her a very enthusiastic hug.

enough is enough!
YumI'm slightly ashamed to admit it, but if I don't see another tomato for 6-12 months, that would be fine with me.

the next big baby name?
YumChutney. That's my prediction, anyway. After some of the ones I've seen, it's not out of the question, amiright?

it's so hard to say goodbye
YumI can't help but feel somewhat agitated by all the pumpkin recipes I'm already seeing*. It's still summer, folks! Please don't wish it away before it's over!
*I blame Starbucks completely a little--this pumpkin spice latte craze is madness indeed.

YumEven though I haven't been what would be considered a bona fide scientist for several years, I don't think I'll ever stop overanalyzing problems and running experiments to prove or disprove a hypothesis. The setting and equipment (and necessary degree of precision) are just a little bit different than they were in my school days.

rotten luck, rotten plants
YumMy family is full of green-thumbed gardeners, and they all told us* we were nuts to nurture five squash plants for two people. They might've been right, but we'll never know.

it's rotini jerry!*
YumIf I had had some fusilli in my pantry, I would've used it.
*I think I reference Seinfeld on this blog more than anything else, not that there's anything wrong with that. I maintain that it's the best sitcom ever made.

an oldie but a goodie
YumThis is the kind of recipe you'll find in church cookbooks from your grandmother's youth, and really, aren't those the best kind? They use common ingredients and simple steps, and happily, they yield repeatable, attainable, and tasty results. The very fact that many of these recipes are still being made speaks to their total awesomeness.

backyard-to-table
YumI like potato chips, but I loooove zucchini chips...especially when the zucchini being used comes right from my very own garden.

how our garden grows
YumLongtime readers might remember my first attempt at container gardening. The results were mixed.

brown-thumbed
YumThere are great gardeners on every branch of my family tree, but the gene seems to have missed me. (There is a gene, right?)
You may recall my porch garden adventures back in 2008--the results were far less than impressive. Fortunately for me, Triscuit (one of my favorite crackers--could they be any more sturdy and dip-friendly?) created a handy-dandy website that includes information about growing vegetables at home, a crop guide, community forums, and more. They've also done something really innovative and included plantable herb seed cards in 4 million boxes of their crackers to help encourage people to grow their own vegetables and herbs! Further, they hope to help create 50 community-based home farms in cities across the country during 2010, a noble goal.
Bella, on the prowl!
Home farming has a nice ring to it, does it not? Considering how much I enjoy eating the produce that comes out of a successful garden, I suppose the least I could do is grow some herbs to accentuate the green (and red and yellow and orange and purple) goodness. Thanks, Triscuit--you're doing a good thing!
*Triscuit sent me two boxes of crackers (with seed cards, obviously) and a gift card to help with the expenses of growing my herbs. read more words!
