I turned over some soil today. Gonna plant some garlic. I use a lot of garlic and I'm not satisfied with the current price trajectory on garlic in the grocery store. I went to Walmart to get a few things yesterday and they wanted $3.28 for two bulbs of garlic. That's when I decided, yup, time to pull out the ole shovel again and turn over some earth. I wouldn't grow pinto beans, wheat, or potatoes at this time, because it's still really cheap to just buy those. My bell pepper, acorn squash, and various pepper plants are really thriving; producing a dozen acorn squash, and 5 or 6 lbs of peppers a week. I'm up to my eyeballs in em making indian squash recipes, Naan, paneer (from whole milk with a cheesecloth thank you very much), Chile rellanos etc. Last night we did stewed beef cutlets with Mexican rice I stole from the commercial crop of tomatoes nearby that I reduced down to a paste before adding a lil chicken bullion to before steaming, and pinto beans with vegetable shortening and spices (Cumin, Chili Powder, Smoked paprika ((seriously get the smoked paprika it's worth the markup in price/lb)), and a lil garlic salt) Ive been thinking about getting a good food dehydrator, but really I should just figure out how to dry peppers with the sun; shit's free. Anyhow, I keep a 10lb bag of potatoes on the roster because if shit hits the fan and you can't just buy em for 25 cents/lb at the store, it's nice to know I have some potatoes on-hand, to cut and bury to make more potatoes in the future with. Mmmm potatoes from the Future | |||
