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!!

Listen to Dillip's journey. His native cuisine is Indian. He worked for McDonald's and he is now 100% Vegan.

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

We tried something a little different for this weeks show. We were asked by Carole Hyatt to participate in her Getting to Next II seminar and share how Heirloom Meals got started.
And we thought that it would be fun to chronicle some of the participants food memories. So enjoy these snippets!!
