Hello all and I hope all are safe and well, I am not a vegetarian,

but I will make sure not to offend anyone with my life style. I am

slowly adding more and more plant protein over animal, but I have a

long way to go. I enjoy eating any type of food, although some

Curies are a bit to strong for me. I do eat a lot of hot spicy food

that use a lot of peppers. I have a large garden each year and grow

lots of peppers along with a wide range of veggies, just some of

what I grew this year was tomatoes both red,yellow and white

varieties, peppers sweet and hot, Okra, green snap beans and soy

which I grew for the first time. Summer and Winter squash, Corn,

Watermelons, cucumbers, greens of all types including Amaranth and

quinoa. I also grew some wolfberries and a tonic herb called

Ashwadagadha

and a plant from the Andean region called Maca. I plan to add many

other rare medicinal and culinary herbs to my garden next year. This

year I grew some edible hibiscus varieties one of which is called

Roselle which make a very nice tea. The seedpods leaves and flowers

are used. I like to add rose blooms along with honeysuckle flowers

to it for added flavor and fragrance, then too this time I also

added elderberries.

I enjoy making fresh garden soups and eating as much fresh raw

vegetables as I can from my garden. As I am disabled and no longer

can work ,I try to grow as many vegetables and fruits each year as I

can. I discovered a large source of wild Goumi fruit this year, this

will be added to my source of wild fruit that I will dry or make

jelly from.

Well I guess that is all I have to say. I hope everyone had a great

season this year, I will enjoy reading all the recipies and hope

that at some point add one or two of mine.
