Picked two more cucumbers today. I will have more zucchini to pick tomorrow.
Now is the time of eating supper from the garden every night (and sometimes lunches too!) If I had chickens*, I'd be set. Tonight, here was my recipe: a bowl full of beet leaves and swiss chard, with sliced baby zucchini on top of that. Add a little butter. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds on high, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese and microwave for 1 minute more. Delicious, nutritious, and quick! (I use the soup bowls from my dishes, which aren't really good for soup or cereal; they are too big. Soup needs a deep bowl. These bowls are great for salads, and other stuff you don't want to run everywhere. I use them for spaghetti, too. Perfect. Soup bowls should look like this, instead.)
I wanted something for dessert, but since I'm out of raspberries for the moment as well as eggs (again, chickens!), I decided to look up a recipe for an eggless spice cake. I found one--I found quite a few, actually, but most of them were eggless, milkless and butterless. I'm sure they taste fine, but I tweaked the recipe (I had some milk that's starting to go off, so I really wanted to use it up) and we'll see how it tastes. It's in the oven now.)
Oh, and the squash/gourd is turning orange! What the heck?
*Seriously, if I worked closer to home, I would have chickens.
