I just kicked off the weekend at the Hillsboro Farmer’s Market. There aren’t any tomatoes yet, but oh, my! The berries!
On tap for this weekend, more blueberry muffins, a raspberry yogurt smoothie, and some cherry scones.
This week also marked our first sighting of our favorite garlic grower. He has so many varieties, and if we store the bulbs in a paper bag with a few ventilation holes, we can use them all the way until Christmas.
This is such an odd weather year – it’s been relentlessly cold and cloudy. And yet, we’ve seen bumper crops of lots of produce, like the aforementioned berries. And, look at these immense pattypan squash!
I wish I could find a way to eat radishes that I liked. These are so gorgeous, it was hard to leave them there.
To balance out all this healthful produce, we made sure to eat some Pancake on a Stick. That’s a link sausage, dipped in pancake batter, and then deep fried. Awwwwwwwww, yeah.
Anyway, if this kind of thing interests you, there are lots more pictures in the ever growing Flickr set.
Happy Weekend!

Do you read Orangette? Her book is amazing. She has a “recipe” for radishes that is TO DIE FOR. Take a baguette, and slice it into thin rounds. Lay them all out onto a sheet and toast them slightly. Take them out of the oven and butter them all. Put a few thin slices of radish on top and sprinkle with quality salt. It’s amazing.

Be glad for the colder weather. These past few weeks in Oklahoma, we’ve had such hot temperatures, the ducks stopped laying and the chickens have slowed down to a crawl.
Makes it really hard to get good eggs!

In Australia, we call those sausages a Dagwood Dog. You can only get them at carnivals. They’re dipped in a giant vat of tomato sauce before they’re served to you. They bring back memories of rides and crowds and grease. =)

Here we eat radishes right out of the garden, without doing anything with them. For our little ones it's a treat, they love them!
But how about stir-frying the radishes in a wok (do you call it a wok in english too?), with some spring onions, some soy sauce, some honey and garlic? Would that work for you?
Lovely pictures by the way!
The little ones here love radishes, they eat it as a treat, right out of our garden.
But how would you like this: stir-fry the radishes in a wok (do you call that a wok in English too?), add some spring onions, some garlic, oregano, honey and soy sauce. How does that sound?
Pretty pictures by the way!
Now that sounds really good! Thank you for the recipe – I'll
definitely try that one.
I hate radishes on their own, but I had a salad of them at my Aunt's that was fresh and delicious! She thinly sliced the radishes and chopped a green apple. Then she made a dressing of 1/4 C olive oil and 1/2 C apple cider vinegar with salt and pepper. It sounds too simple to taste like anything, but it's really good! The picture you took of the pansies is really really beautiful; even with a fabulous camera I find it difficult sometimes to capture that colorful luminosity of really fresh flowers, but you did! Lovely!
Thanks, Katie – that sounds really good – the apple would cut the
bitterness of the radishes. Definitely trying this…
Thanks as well for the compliments on the photo! I can't take any
credit – it was one of those point-and-shoot things that happened to
work out. :-)
