In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
Veronica was over, she has appointed herself my office manager. We walked Zelda and CJ and Veronica pulled up wildflowers to plant at home.
I also mailed a check for Cathy to work on securing the PWGD name, and a big flat rate box of garden dirt to Mary ($10.35 for some 25 pounds... maybe this gets back at them for being so slow with the hummos i mailed last year...)
Cooked for myself and instead of saving some or all to maybe eat with Anjali, or Veronica, or anyone tomorrow, I stuffed myself tonight.
Zucchini that was old a week ago. Tomatoes that were old a week ago. By most people's standards, these would have been jettisoned. Certainly, they were on the edge, and had to be cooked. Garlic that was old a month ago. Bay leaves that were old two months ago. The celery and the onion weren't young either.
Chopped the tomato in large pieces.
Put in wok, above medium.
Throw the bay leaves in right away and start chopping everything.
Celery, chopped fine
Onion, chopped.
Small red potatoes, chopped finely.
salt, added early.
black pepper
coriander seeds
chili powder
paprika
coriander seed powder
It is really quite good.
