Ali Ansari was truly an inspirig and wonderful guest. His close connection with the women in the kitchen - his Persian and German grandmothers had much to offer - recipes, artistic inspiration, cultural differences, and harmony. LIsten up - this one should not be missed!!

In my house we eat salsa a lot! In fact, it's my favorite snack. But there is nothing better than putting up 50 pints of salsa from the produce of your own garden to enjoy all winter long. I encourage everyone to try it and if you are afraid - email me, call me, comment here and I'll talk you through it.

Ok, so admit it, I expected my garden to produce some food but it is truly extraordinary how much food a 20 X 48 foot garden can yield. I can't keep up with the tomatoes despite our eating 2-3 a day, canning 50 jars of salsa, roasting multiple pans of cherry tomatoes and freezing and of course, giving some away. I think one needs to take a week or two off and just put up your food!
So here's my harvest thus far - at least 2 small bushels of jalapenos, 100 lbs tomatoes, 20 eggplant, 50 garlic cloves, who knows how much kale and Swiss chard, 10 heads of cabbage, still waiting to harvest onions.....
And now I am getting ready to plant for late fall harvest, so stay tuned!!

Walked down in the cellar, and there was this snake in the window well. Looks like he caught lunch.
