Diary of a Garden – Episode #2
Yield! Bounty! Harvest! My garden has proffered 8 radishes so far!
This is the first of the season’s offerings. Having such little experience gardening veggies, I can’t hardly believe that just 1 month ago I was putting these seeds in the soil. I ate one fresh out of the ground – I couldn’t wait to wash all the dirt off – it tasted fantastic!
The rest of them I decided to use as a garnish for tonight’s dinner – Mexican Lettuce Wrap ‘Tacos’. I used this recipe for inspiration, but instead of marinating chickpeas, I steamed some chunks of tempeh in the marinade for about 20 minutes. Great flavor and the veggie garnishes offered lots of crunch and freshness. Radishes are a perfect addition to tacos. (Thanks to my brother for the tip).
Hey, want to go paragliding? Yeah. Me neither. My kind of ‘stunts’ are more centered around the home. I chronicle the ups and downs of my domestic adventures in hopes of offering creative inspiration to folks like me. And failing that, some friendly commiseration at least. Check out my ‘about’ pages for more. Glad you’re here!
