The salad has six greens from Victory Gardens in Derry NH, which has both hydroponics and aquaponics. (One has plant roots immersed in a pool with tilapia fish... pooping. It's a great system!)
Added to the salad is Black locust tree flowers and peas, lilly shoots, and fresh radishes.
The wild carrots were steamed for 20 minutes, a bit of salt and pine tips syrup. And finally the Tourtiere I made with a bit of mustard for dipping.
(A bit of red wine for a beverage. )

There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!

Happy garden with all the heat, humidity, and occasional rain.
I made a yummy zucchini chocolate bread for my sister's visit. Going to air fry some of what I just picked.
