I may genuinely only buy bacon from the dollar store any more, this stuff is ridiculously fatty and the bacon fat is a big part of the reason I cook bacon ha

[ID: 3 photos of making mushroom and egg toast, showing 1) a cutting board with mushrooms, purple garlic, and a shallot, 2) a frying pan with sauteed mushrooms and two fried eggs, and 3) a plate with two pieces of toast piled with sauteed mushrooms and a fried egg each, plus many cherries next to the toast. End ID]

an extremely farmer's market meal featuring purple hardneck garlic + tart cherries + crimini and shiitake mushrooms from the market this morning, plus a shallot + fried eggs + toast + honey diijon + salt and pepper and maggi sauce for my favorite meal i've made this summer, inspired by lucy knisley's sauteed mushroom recipes + leanne brown's things on toast

PLANT FACT: the first "leaves" on a seedling aren't true leaves. They're called cotyledons and they usually die off once the plant is more developed. Once there's more leaves beyond the first one or two cotyledons those are the first "true" leaves!

These pepper plants are at the cotyledon stage, you can see the baby leaves coming out though. There's more than one plant in the pot because sometimes seeds don't grow or what does grow comes out wrong.

Once they get their true leaves I'll pick the best plant and pinch the other one off so they don't compete for nutrients and growing space. I've had seedlings sprout fully white before, those ones get pinched off because they can't use light to make food and will die on their when the seed runs out of nutrients to help it.

These pepper plants are a week or two older than the first set, they have their true leaves. The extra pepper sprout has been pinched off and the final pepper that gets planted in the garden is chosen.

August 2024: The Wasteland, Harvest, Salsa & Why?

In this previous post, I mentioned collecting a water lily seed head. I dispersed the seeds in The Wasteland rivulet (It is marked by that spot where the tree line extends the furthest into the field). If they take off, the lily pads would provide great cover for the local amphibian population:

Sunday harvest from the front yard & backyard gardens:

I made salsa tonight to go with our tacos. The recipe I use calls for half of a Bell Pepper & 5 Jalapenos but we didn't have any Jalapenos so I used 5 Shishito peppers (They have a similar heat to Jalapenos) & an Anaheim:

Homemade salsa made with almost all homegrown ingredients. The only thing that isn't our is the salt, red wine vinegar & cilantro. I wish the cilantro had been ours but, for us, cilantro is a Spring & Fall crop. We had some cilantro try to come up from seed on its own but the August heat caused it to whither:

Why? I thought half sheets were a dumb idea but this a step beyond. Never in my life, have I made a mess that only required a toilet sheet sized piece of paper towel. When I make an ass, it is Brazilian butt lift sized. I'm lucky if one full sheet of paper towel will suffice. This is how I know the concept of consumer driven economics is bullshit because I don't know of anyone who needed this. I can't even conceive of how this could save the paper towel manufacturers money. Who the hell asked for this?:
