3. I am roasting veg too

Two pans in the oven resplendent with garlic and fresh herbs-rosemary, oregano and parsley. One has Basalmic vinegar added before going in the oven. Oh the smells right now - its only 4:30 in WA haven’t eaten yet.

Tonight veg will be served on the side of pumpkin and sweet italian sausage pasta.

Tomorrow the veg will join the italian sausage on pizza-piled high with an italian blend cheese mix. I have morels soaki g to add to the pizza...And fresh herbs. I found a tasty apple, greens and red onion salad recipe to have with the pizza.

I will blend up the rest of the veg tomorrow too with some bone broth and cream to make a soup for Monday. No cook, no meat. 😁

5. I'm going to try a cracker thin pizza crust tomorrow

Found self rising flour! Not easy in WA.
The recipe is just self rising flour, water and olive oil. Will have to cut the toppings small because the crust will be thin and somewhat fragile I think. Looking forward to trying it. Have never made extra thin cracker (St Louis style) crust with no yeast - and I’m from MO!

7. We decided upon ...

Ground turkey burritos garnished with a pico, squash (freshly picked out of the garden), and a cucumber salad (with cucumbers also freshly picked from the garden).

Bon appetit!

There are serious, agricultural advantages to living in the Southern United States. This year our squash are the size of melons.

9. This year our squash are the size of melons.

you don't let them get that large, do you?

[Laelth]

10. Didn't pay attention for a few days.

That was a mistake. We’re still eating and enjoying them, mind you. They’re just growing more rapidly than usual.

12. do you think the taste declines with the larger size?

that's what the RG tells me.

If I had some, I'd still use them for stuffed zucchini, though.

[Laelth]

13. I do.

It also depends upon the water content, but sometimes a “less flavorful” squash can be a good thing, especially when it comes to zucchini. The bigger problem I have with large squash is texture. They can get mighty tough. The baby squash are more tender and have more flavor.

Each to one’s own taste.

8. Tried a different pot roast recipe

Came out wonderful!
Rough chop an onion and put on the bottom of your slow cooker. Place roast on top (you could brown the meat but I didn’t). Mix a packet of au jus gravy mix, a spoonful of beef bouillon granules in 3/4 cup water and pour over meat. Cook on low all day. Right before dinner I poured the juices from the crockpot into a saucepan and thickened with a cornstarch slurry for a rich dark onion gravy. Served with mashed potatoes, green beans and coleslaw. I think I’ve found the Holy Grail of roast beef recipes. Used a 2 lb. eye roast, came out fork-tender.
