Today I actually began picking some of the lettuce from the Arizona mini-garden, to supplement the Red Romaine that is growing in a container. There are leaves of Red Sails and a bit of Parris Island Romaine to accompany the last of the green onions (another crop is nearly ready), a few radishes and three little vine ripe tomatoes for tonight's dinner salad. The lettuce was lovely and crisp this morning, enjoying the all too rare rain that is falling today.
A rainy day, lovely fresh picked salad fixings.......I think that just begs for a loaf of home made bread and a pot of soup for dinner, don't you?
Great harvest AG....everything looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGranny - a loaf of homemade bread is welcome at my house anytime. I love it! Glad to see your AZ garden is producing well.
ReplyDeleteWell right now it is sleeting outside, so a batch of homemade bread and some soup would sound great. The salad fixings are just perfect. I would kill for a good garden fresh salad. I was gone for a few days and let me tell you the salad I had for lunch yesterday tasted of chemicals. Ick. It didn't have that fresh taste. It makes me wonder what they spray on it to keep it fresh for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sunny! Maybe this rain will make that lettuce grow a bit faster.

EG and Daphne, grrrr....I can't find my yeast! I have a pot of chili on for dinner, and I really want those home made rolls. Guess I'll have to break down and clean out my fridge :-(
Granny that harvest looks wonderful! Soup and home made bread sounds really good too. We just cleaned up about a foot of snow here in Maine. We were supposed to get only 4-inches. Spring can't come too soon.
ReplyDeleteRachel, as much as I'd like some warmer weather, the rain is really needed here in the desert. Last year was terribly dry, which is hard on flora and fauna.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I finally found the yeast, so the rolls are rising!
We're up to our ears in rain here -- I wish I could share some with you. That looks like a lovely salad.
ReplyDeleteStefaneener, I think you are going to share with us. There are 3-4 storms headed this way from CA, and Phoenix is expecting about 3" of rain! That usually means we'll get it before Phoenix does.
ReplyDeleteYour veg looks great, almost like spring has arrived! Enjoy your salad, bread & soup, sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI heard the rain was fierce out there. Stay dry and enjoy that dinner.
ReplyDeleteDan, I did! We did! Enjoyed it very much, it's the first lettuce of the new year that didn't get fed to the rabbit!
ReplyDeleteRibbit, just gentle raindrops so far, the worst is supposed to come Wednesday and Thursday. It had better be short. Annie and Otto do not enjoy going pee in the rain!
ReplyDeleteWe must have been on the same wave length today... our dinner tonight was a turkey/vegetable minestrone with slices of warm crusty no knead bread to go with it (slathered with butter of course!). The veggie soup had carrots and cabbage greens from the winter garden harvest - the rest was storage or preserved items. Was yummy.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a fresh salad to go with that soup and bread but my greens are at a low point right now. So I will have to just live vicariously through your harvest posts. :D
LOL, Kitsap...now you can go read my second post of today and drool over the salad!
ReplyDeleteThat does look like the making for a great salad. Just the thing to accompany a nice warming soup. As soon as my honey gets home I'll be warming up some leftover soup. He's so easy to feed :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, you are lucky. Mr. H thinks dinner should be meat and potatoes, so he's not usually impressed with soup. But I can toss in a pan of home made rolls, and he'll eat anything! I would love to eat soup and bread every night if it were up to me. Heck, I could eat it three meals a day!
ReplyDeleteHi Granny! Just wanted to let you know that I made these rolls tonight - they were delicious!! I used my bread machine for the dough, then shaped the rolls and baked them. So simple! And now we have cinnamon rolls waiting for breakfast tomorrow (or dessert tonight, if we can't wait that long). Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteCaffeiated Mom, I'm glad you liked them. We sure do, the recipe is definitely a keeper.
