Sweet peas & Turnip Greens
Comments (2)I bet you are right, Azura. I've grown various violas by planting in the Spring really early in open ground and, of course, they start growing & blooming in late Winter if they become established outdoors. It has been decades since I've grown turnips (much prefer bok choy and such ;o) but they are super hardy. And, sweetpeas are one of those round-seeded peas that generally aren't inclined to rot even if it is too cold to germinate. You'd need to wait until next season for these things to come up, however. The link below shows that turnips will not germinate if the soil is 41°F or below. I see that optimum germination temperature for pansies is 65, but that doesn't mean much. Probably, a much safer choice would be something more closely related to johnny jump-ups. The soil in my backyard a couple of days ago, before yesterday's rain and this morning's frost: 42°F.

Comments (11)It's white with purple shoulders, so probably a turnip. For some reason, my parents never grew them, so turnips are a new food for me. That what I love about the community supported agriculture: it sometimes forces me to try new things. We love turnip greens, so it's time to get acquainted with the rest of the plant. I needed a pot roast anyway, and now the turnip is forcing my hand....See MoreHave You Used Your Leftovers To Make Something Else?
Comments (11)I always make planned-overs, and they are usually different from the first meal. Easter's left-over roast lamb was eaten the second night just as the first, because it really was just that darned good, LOL. But now the rest is divided up into freezer dishes - one for lamb curry with couscous and vegetables, one for shepherd's pie, and one small one for pita sandwiches. That one is for tomorrow's lunch. It will probably be 2 or 3 weeks before we have the other lamb dishes. I think it's silly to heat up the oven for any kind of a meal without making enough for more than one. It just requires a bit of creativity and planning. I absolutely hate when I hear someone saying "Oh, we NEVER eat leftovers!" More stupid they!...See MoreLeftovers vs. No Leftovers
Comments (50)If I'm making pancakes, I try for only what I'll eat, since I can't deal with reheated ones. Otherwise, most comfort foods are in the category of cook (hence clean up) once, eat twice or more. I'm very open to utilizing things in other ways but don't get hung up on "it has to be 'different'" philosophy. And I choke back vomit when I see someone try to make a meatloaf and mashed potatoes look like a cake. UGH! I grew up eating leftovers. I still aim for "premeditated" leftovers. It more economical, just as tasty most of the time and often it can taste better. If it's too much, a freezer can be your friend. And I am a strong supporter of saving energy, both appliance and mine. Since the health issues set in, standing at the stove for hours is no longer a regular option....See Moreritaweeda
