So, I thought I'd do a photo post of the photos that I took the past few days and link back to the posts for which they were originally intended.
Last Saturday found LB once again commandeering my computer between naps
and told you about my lazing around the back patio with my paper, cookbooks, food magazines and computer.
Of course you remember my McGyvering of the tomato plant to my neighbor Erica's porch.
What LB failed to tell you about was the wind swept tomatoes from last Thursday's storms that I rescued from the yard and have been ripening on our picnic table
the late season cucumbers growing on the vine
and the basil plants that something is munching on.
If anyone has any ideas about what is eating my basil and what I can do to prevent it, please let me know. The soapy water isn't working and neither is the organic bug spray.
One of the first things I made when I got back from Sun Valley was a batch of Thai noodles. I had some left over so I tossed them into a salad with some chicken breast, Mandarin oranges, some edamame, and some nuts for dinner one night last week.
While I was away a really good friend's parents sent me some Key Limes from their back yard tree.
So on Sunday, I made Tart Reform's Easy Key Lime Pie.
It was about the best Key Lime Pie I've ever had.
And Kelly of Sass and Veracity's fabulous Non Cowboy Caviar for a backyard gathering of my house mates.
I'm telling you, go over to her site, get the recipe and make it this weekend! You won't be sorry you did.
I've got some pictures from a down and back trip to New Jersey I made today and a fantastic, light and easy fish dish from Cooking Light to share with you in the next few days. Luckily, I can actually post both the words and the photos together now!
