if my name was Rosemary

If my name was Rosemary it would be kind of weird, not in the bad sense, I would get funny looks "Hi, my name is Rosemary." Especially in my line of work, and being a dude. But maybe it would be a 'boy named Sue' type of scenario. I would have grown up with gravel in my guy and spit in my eye. I mean I love my name I have now, and I did have to learn to be tough, being called Jessica from kindergarden to even still people think it's funny now. I learned, 'my fists got hard and my wits got keen'. But Rosemary would have gotten me in more trouble.



 On to what this is really about FOOD!.... Easy peasy, lemon squeasy.

Roasted Veg. and Rosemary.

 4 cloves of Garlic
 1 Onion
4 small to medium Potatoes
4 Carrots
4 smallish to medium Beets
2 Sweet Potatoes
Salt n Peppa Rosemary

natural sunlight from the back door made this glow.

 Cut all your Veg. Around the same size varying dimensions are not an issue, make it fun and easy don't be worried about it, it's just food and it goes into your belly. Crush Garlic leave in skin.
 Add everything in a 13x9 pan, oven@ 400°, drizzle olive oil all over those suckers, add as much salt and pepper as you want. I like pepper so I make sure there is lots every piece, same with Rosemary, Mix it all up, use your hands its fun. Put in the oven, dish uncovered, for 45 mins, stir the veg in the pan after 25mins/halfway. done when all veg is cooked.

Lack of sun made this photo terrible.

I will post pictures soon. This has been sitting for a while and I haven't actually made this in a while so I couldn't take pictures, don't get mad at me, I am too damn awesome.

Peace I'm OUT

Community Garden!

This is a video K. took while visiting the community garden plot. This was the first year we purchased a community garden plot, we enjoyed it. Reasons for the plot this year was because we don't have enough room for Cucurbits.

Cucurbitaceae is a plant family with hundreds of plants, Squashes, Pumpkins, Gourds, Cucumbers, Melons and lots and lots of things. Among all those things, they also like allot of room. We had three plants in there two watermelons and one squash, which we trained to just go around themselves many, many times. We ended up getting 4 Moon and stars watermelon and probably 12 to 14 Delicata Squash.

Also in the garden were Bush Beans, Garlic, Onions, and one poor nasturtium that was swallowed up by the vines but was still alive at the end.

6 experimental garlic, that were trans planted from a cell pack to the plot in mid spring. It really didn't have much time to make it. The garlic we did get from it was strong, it would have scared away any signs of a cold coming on, it burnt the tongue.

A bunch of Onions which only half started growing, and the ones that did ranged from small to 1 very large all red.

Beans, Bush Beans of the green variety. Well they did really, really well 6 plants, which were a struggle to start due to 3 or 4 year old seed, numerous attempts soaking, drowning, sprouting in paper towel, and just sowing directly in the plot. Beans,beans, beans we did get, were never with out, those 6 plants left us with 2 meals a week, for the two of us which was perfect.

                                         

Peace,
Time to get something done around here!
