What are you doing to enjoy your food today

Re: What are you doing to enjoy your food today

I'm experimenting... making something different today for a side dish: Puntarelle salad. It's a labour of love because you have to trim chickory stalks like matchsticks, and then soak them in freezing water (with ice cubes) to make them curl. The dressing is tip top extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic and anchovy paste. It's a salad that needs marinading for a while before eating. Deeeelish (though I've never made it myself).

We too always eat at the table and not in front of the TV. Makes the meal much more of a family get together.

Trying new things... I made Linda Sue's White Castle casserole, didn't have the heavy cream, but it still turned out very good - and oh so easy!!! I'll be making more of these things to freeze and have on hand - prepared!

These are all great suggestions! I agree, eating at the table with it set nicely makes the experience much more pleasurable. Also trying new recipes is fun and having a variety of dishes... with lots of different colors and textures of vegetables. I really like the different sized tomatoes. The little ones that are all different colors and shapes. They're so cute!

I have always been big on variety and experimenting! I love creating dishes from other countries, and of course, these days, converting them to low carb. I grow a lot of herbs (spices aren't so easy!!) and even now in the dead of winter, there's a pot of rosemary, thyme and dill sitting near the back door

This time of year, I get my jollies going through seed catalogues seeing what unique veggies i can grow this year. So far, I've decided on cardoon and ground cherries(related to the tomatillo)
