Summer Pride

      The other morning a school called me to sub for the day. I bathed, changed and made myself a lunch of potato salad with with onions, potatoes and banana peppers, all of which I grew. While I did not make the mayonnaise or lay the egg in it, the cucumbers and red peppers in the hot dog relish in it were from last year's garden.
      Likewise, the carrots in second salad—a Turkish thing with sliced carrots in vinegar and oil dressing--a multicolor carrot variety that flourished  this year. And though I did not grow the olive oil, I did press and make the apple cider vinegar.

Though the carrots are a bit of too much of good thing, I got a critical eye on a carrot cake.

  1. Mmmm delish! What a fantastic garden. I bet they taste so sweet and have flavor. That is what is missing in the supermarkets.

    Turkish salad - would love to try.
