The recipe called for red, I only had green curry.  Plus some extra veggies.

Canning

part 1 - broccoli pickles

After some initial missteps with my Green Bean Delivery, I was left with 3 heads of broccoli in 2 weeks!  Ach!
I decided to try pickling it.  In my typical fashion, my planning was a bit off.  Here's how it happened:

I was shopping for groceries when I saw a sale on pickling spices.  Yeah!  I'll pickle that broccoli.  I picked up the lids and $0.49 pickling spices and was off.  To a home with no vinegar.  So I improvised with raisen-jalepeno wine from an Iowa winery and some balsamic vinegar and got to canning.  The results were delish.

Fried Green Tomatoes and Eggs

A few of my heirloom tomatoes fell off the vine early this year, so I tried my hand at fried green tomatoes.

I dredged thick slices of tomato (1/3" slices) in buttermilk and then in cornmeal with a bit of salt and pepper.

Sauteed in a hot pan with a little spray of olive oil.
