Eggplant/pattypan squash/red bell pepper/tomato "mesivo".
.....Sauteed pâtisson tastes a little bit like courgette, butternut squash and turnip mixed together, but it's sweet! So, it goes pretty well with the rest of "mesivo" and doesn't spoil the dish, as i expected.
So,.. yay pâtisson!

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of strawberry shortcake I made. It's the same recipe my dad used to make for us growing up, and it comes from this super old cookbook (I'm guessing from the 70s?). I really don't like those little yellow sponge-cake things you can buy from the grocery store. And I got locally-grown strawberries from the farmers market. I find that the grocery store strawberries are kinda bland.Pad Thai salad huh? I'm interested
I love strawberry shortcake! With biscuits-not the little cake some use. Baking powder biscuit with the strawberries sliced and sugared overnight to release their juices, and whipped creme. I made it once with whipped coconut creme and liked that
The pad thai salad is from Appetite for Reduction. Did you want the recipe?

I actually had one of those dolls. I'm guessing it belonged to someone else first, since I have no memory of the show. There was a TV show, right? And there were other dolls... a blueberry one with short dark hair. And a couple others I can't remember.That always makes me think of the Strawberry Shortcake doll. It was in the 1980s so probably before your time! She smelled like strawberries.

I am going to batch cook tomorrow. I am going to either boil or part bake some potatoes, roast some chickpeas in spices and prepare black beans/rice/sweetcorn/veggies/onions to keep in the fridge in my glass storage containers for easy meals.

It counts!Overnight oats - not bad, but trying again now with soya milk instead of water!
Also heated up two bean burgers which I put on slices of bread, buttered generously with cream cheese.
Not sure any this counts as cooking ...
I made a chickpea curry with cauliflower rice and roasted brussels sprouts yesterday so I will have the leftovers heated up with some added basmati rice today.
Blackeyed peas aren't my favorite beans as far as taste goes- but evidently they're not a favorite of most garden beasties such as rabbits or grasshoppers either! So that was what I wound up harvesting. They taste fine when I mix them with something else such as white beans, anyway.
Do you like marigolds? They're one of my favorite flowers, especially the tall, full-size ones with orange and yellow flowers (I think they come in other colors too). The flowers smell sweet, but the leaves really stink, and supposedly they repel animals (although I suppose if the critters were starving, they'd just barge past them and eat the beans anyway).

So last night I made Lemon Garlic Orzo with Roasted Vegetables (recipe here), and it was freaking amazing!! I'll need to go buy more mushrooms and bell peppers soon so that I can make it again. And I need to figure out what sort of vegetarian protein would taste good with it. Maybe something as simple as baked tofu would work.

That looks delicious!! What about just adding some garbanzos for extra protein? OMG, I need to make that now....

H hates chickpeas, but I think some black-eyed peas or great northern beans would work well. Hmm. Or I could make some bean fritters and throw them on the side.That looks delicious!! What about just adding some garbanzos for extra protein? OMG, I need to make that now....
Let me know if you end up making it!
Veggie pot pie and raisin-cranberry scones, all going to my parents.

Ohh, veggie pot pie is perfect for this weather!
I've been trying to use up the last of the tomato harvest, so I made a batch of salsa and a batch of fresh pasta sauce. Both turned out really well. I'm going to freeze the pasta sauce.
