I was getting into a meal rut, and needed to work a bit harder on using the vegetables from the garden, as well as what I have in the pantry and freezer. It's nice that we can all inspire each other to do better.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-69730750418083484892011-07-03T19:47:12.542-07:002011-07-03T19:47:12.542-07:00Wow, what a lovely harvest.

Or was it the spaghetti sauce? I have leftovers ;-)<br /><br />********<br />Erin, I'm waiting for my next little Bloody Butcher to ripen, maybe tomorrow. They're the only ones that are even close, except for the Sun sugar, which has one tiny tomato turning yellow. <br /><br />********<br />Marcia, that sounds sooooo good! As you probably know, it will be a long time before I have any summer squash or zucchini. It's too bad the snap peas can't produce all summer!<br /><br />********<br />M, I have the onions, but no squash or peppers yet. I also keep a lot of lettuce cleaned and crisping in the refrigerator, for us and the pet rabbit. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can keep it growing all summer without bolting or turning bitter.<br /><br />********<br />Kitsap, stir fry is still my favorite. I never tire of eating it, and it's such an easy meal for these warm (yes, I said warm!) summer evenings. I think you're getting another cold spell coming through this week :-(<br /><br />********<br />David, I guess we'll be happy to take our gardens any way we can get them, huh? Even a small "bounty" is better than no harvest at all.<br /><br />********<br />Robin, you're just a big meanie. It's a good thing I love you, or I'd give you away! I wonder if Ginny would take you. ;-)<br /><br />********<br />Ginny, Robin is being mean. Take her away with you, OK?<br /><br />LOL, don't we have some fun times?Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-80063870377115911212011-07-02T18:39:14.227-07:002011-07-02T18:39:14.227-07:00I'm not serving anything from the garden for d...I'm not serving anything from the garden for dinner:o(<br /> I won't complain, I've been doing pretty good getting the spices into containers on the patio to keep me from having to venture into the yard come winter.

During the weekdays I often do a garden stir fry which is always fast to prep and makes good use of all the latest goodness from the garden. <br /><br />By the way, dinner fixings look fabulous and the menu sounded even better. :DkitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-41071696292652039242011-07-02T07:02:05.443-07:002011-07-02T07:02:05.443-07:00We always have a salad ready in the fridge and hav...We always have a salad ready in the fridge and have been using our fresh lettuce, up to last week.
