I somewhere have a bizarrely delicious recipe for a cold beet buttermilk soup (actually, it’s a Moosewood cookbook – but not too sure if it’s the same M’wood book that you’ve got) – I made it once on a whim figuring that I’d totally loathe it (cold? beets? buttermilk????) but found myself drinking it straight from a glass like the most luscious milkshake.

If you think you two would like to give it a shot let me know and I’ll find it and shoot it your way! :)

p.s. my tomatoes NEVER grow in the ground – I’ve got 90% sand here on the E. Shore – but hmmmmmm……..in the corner of the compost bin? BRILLIANT! I’ll have to give it a try next summer!!!!!!

I absolutely love your garden! How wonderful and healthy it looks! Looks like an order to Amazon is in order to get that Moosewood cookbook. :) Thanks for posting the link.

I love eating from a garden. My Dad has always had one and we usually get lots of squash and tomatoes from him. Looks like you guys are doing a fabulous job!

Delectable garden and dinner photos….not a big beet fan either but you’re inspiring me!

Love seeing your garden photos and hearing about your learning process! I also love that you posted a recipe from one of my favorite sources…the Moosewood Cookbook series!

OK–I have a ‘lazy’ chili rellenos recipe in the form of a casserole (which we love and I make frequently during the summer when my Anaheims are ready). And I have an authentic version from a good friend who is Mexican…her and her mom certainly can cook and I’ve been squeezing recipes from them as much as they allow over the years! That one is definitely more time consuming but well worth it! As soon as I find the latter (my recipes are sort of in an embarrassing state of disarray at the moment), I’ll shoot them both to you via email.

Oh… I’m green with envy!! This is the first year of my adult life that I’ve ever lived in a place that was suitable for a kitchen garden. Of course, I had to go and get pregnant again and ruin my spring with the first trimester blahs, which meant that no planting –or wedding, or cleaning up–was completed this year. And the weather has been absolutely perfect for a garden this year. Sigh. Hopefully I can still get some herb containers planted out. And I’ve got packs of seeds to start seedlings for next year… there’s always next year.
