But only knee high to sourdough.

Whenever I have friends, who have traveled in the US and have had those crappy breakfast pancakes, you get for breakfast in Denny's or such places, I ask them over and do some sourdough flapjacks, fried in a cast iron skillet. That is a hit, every time!

Jim, you ever do sourdough hotcakes or squawbread? I learned that when I buckarooed in Idaho. Goooooooooooooooooooooood!

The last tomatoes from the poly tunnel, succhini, red bell pepper, cauliflower,garlic and onions chopped coarsely, coated with oilve oil , tossed with the kast herbs from the garden and broiled., The mail order bride made a late patch of dill, which is really good chopped finely and mixed with...

Now, that did make me envious. Finding good avocadoes is rare here. I didn't encounter ripe avocadoes till I went to Israel in -75. Talk about having an epiphany.

Rösti: Steam the unpeeled potatoes the day before, then let them sit over night. Do NOT put them in the refrigerator. Peel and grate them. Slice some onions finely and then chop the slices up. Melt some butter ( Using anything but butter for Rösti will cause you to lose your Swiss citizenship...

Fondue rates higher with me. How long are you letting it sit in the oven for? Instead of parboiling, try steaming them. The Swiss don't boil potatoes for Rösti, they steam them. Makes them way easier to grate.

Since I'm one handed ( Again) the mail order bride cooked, which is a rare treat. A Swiss version of potatoes dauphine with mushrooms added and a salad of baked, grated red beets with a vinagrette dressing and red onions and garlic. I always enjoy eating something I haven't cooked myself.

I was going to make strudel, but got lazy and made it into a pie instead; onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach and a lot of Turkish goat Feta. Turned out really well.

Ratatouille and rice. Not by choice, but I'm going away, so the poly tunnel needed to be harvested. I can't stand all the self loving " celebrity cooks" but Jaimie Oliver does have a geat recipe for Ratatouille: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/classic-ratatouille/

Practicing for Mars on behalf of humanity, Jim.

I have a large polytunnel, where I grow all the good stuff that won't grow outdoor, here.

That first picture sure made me drool. I picked another crop of tomatoes and am cooking spaghetti sauce for the freezer as I write this. So we'll have spaghetti with tomato sauce for dinner.

Melanzane alla Parmigiana. AKA Eggplant Parmesan. The difference beeing that the Italians don't bread the eggplant. Since I don't eat eggs, I don't go for that either. Melons and eggplant have all decided to go ripe at once. I've given a load to the neighbours and Richard and am trying to eat...

I'm sure the "eat a lot of meat to lose weight" thing works, but on the other hand, show me a fat vegetarian. I've never seen one. We'll be having Gazpacho today. Orange Gazpacho. I picked all the ripe tomatoes in the tunnel today, some 40 pds. I have a great orange cherry tomato " Sun Gold"...

The heat wave, we are having has made the vegetables get way ahead of me. So right now the meny is determined by what needs to be eaten. Baba Ganoush, to wipe out some eggplants, beets cooked under the broiler with some Creme fraiche with garlic and a salad with Turkish goat milk Feta. A Wheat...

Holy shit, Carl. You actually posted pictures of veggies. The World as we knew it, has turned upside down.

I had some Eggplants in the polytunnel, that were trying for World domination. So after coming home from the hospital, I spent an hour chopping and made a huge batch of Ratatouille. Everything fresh from garden and tunnel. We'll eat it again tomorrow and as soon as it has cooled down today, I'll...

Looks like you are doing good, Jim. We are finally getting to the part of year where the polytunnel and garden start producing. I harvested Basil today and made some 6 pds of pesto. So we had new potatoes with pesto genovese and a salad with lettuce and radishes from the garden and cucumbers...

Came across some fine white asparagus at the farmer's market today, so we had those for dinner. Not something one finds often in Denmark, but just south of the border our German neighbours are mad about them. So we decided to take a trip down there next spring, find a little quiet village inn...
