Ot - Cooking and can you growing herbs indoors . Hi Jenn

[Guest guest]

Hi Jenn,

My niece just arrived from Chicago. She's on an assignment at UCLA hospital for a month. I made her a sauteed portobello mushroom sandwich and we enjoyed steamed green beans with Chanda's Thai sauce over the top.

I have never grown herbs inside the house. I did work with a guy that had his whole garage full of herbs growning. Some where a few feet tall. he had special lights, etc. I have a patio I put them on and have grown lavender (it's really doing well), a new purple basil, chives, rosemary, my beloved epazote and oregano. They didn't take much room and grew wel.

You can direct a question to Gary in the group, he's very helpful with herbs, flowers, etc.

Off to the kitchen soon. Making tequila salsa for my nephew and his buddies and enchiladas stuffed with my Mexican rice recipe and homemade pinto beans.

Hi. I'm cooking squash - lots of it. I bought three pumpkins for pie and two other squashes. My girls love it. I made some baby food late this past week and it went awesome! I also bought some garlic and want to have some baked garlic. I have to get off my bottom and makes some bread. I've been craving homemade bread.

 

On a side note, one my cats ran away about three months ago. I hope someone picked her up. She was very nice and friendly. However, she was a huge plant eater. Now that I don't have her around, I'm going to have Troy put up a plant light and table for me. I'd like to grow some herbs since I didn't get anything done this summer. Has anyone grew herbs in the house? What I'd love to do is - get a pot (like a houseplant) of cilantro going and other herbs. Any ideas?

 

Have a great cooking day and weekend

What are you going to cook up over the weekend??? It's nice when the weather cools down, I love using the oven but it sure heats up the house during the summer months. DonnaJennifer <jj_73molly wrote:

I'm in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My parents for awhile lived in Tuscan. I used to pick on them about it being a "dry heat." After I visited them for a week in August, I stopped picking on them. It was amazing how much heat one can tolerate if there is very little humidity.

 

Hopefully next summer will be more enjoyable. I want to try to grow some Thai basil since I've been getting into Thai food. Or all sorts of food, now

 

Have a great day.

 

Jenn
