Veal Stew

Is delicious. I highly recommend it. Cumin, veal, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes...Whatever secret ingredients Tyler adds. Yum. Savory. Delicious. 

Yeah, I know we need to clean it! Whatever.

                                              Healthy looking shallot chives.

               Loonng chives!

               Must be time to dig them up, right?

Why do our shallots look like fingers? Where are our shallots? Were we not supposed to dig them up yet? The chive shoots are 3 feet tall!

Chocolate Doughnut Waffles!

Cold Thursday night right after a sick day. All our blankets are at the laundry for winter cleaning. What do I want for dinner? Waffles! And Tyler, like always, obliges to my cooking cravings. In return I had to boil and peel the tomatoes for backyard sauce. So I go to get the waffle maker and see the little cake maker that we use to make doughnuts. So now I want chocolate munchkins. Tyler makes them so good! What do I get? Chocolate waffle doughnuts! My husband is the most creative! And they are DELICIOUS!

Chocolate Doughnut Waffle Batter                                           We listened to the new Mastadon album - The Hunter and its awesome awesomeness. I boiled and peeled heirloom tomatoes. Tyler sang and swore. Good thing he put those paper towels down - the batter was leaky! Any excuse to use powdered sugar, right? Welcome to Tyler's test kitchen!

     Prep and cook. 
It took a few test runs to find the best cook time. Third time's the charm! Light and fluffy!

VOILA!

Our burgeoning backyard in the spring.

Straberries, Rhubarb, Peppers, Cucumbers, and TONS of Tomatoes

 Peppers - bell, habanero, scotch bonnets - bring on the salsa!

And also brussell sprouts, lettuce, and eggplant. The peas didn't makes it. 

 Vining Cucumbers. Babies - you should see them now!
