Hi everyone!  Are you all alive and well?

I actually managed to cook an entire meal last night!  Pasta, with Italian sausage and some of Chris’ leftover home-made marinara sauce, and Swiss chard from the garden, cooked in butter and brown sugar.  Nothing fancy, but it only took about 20 minutes because I had harvested, washed, and chopped the chard ( Read more... )

I'm alive! And I like what you do with Swiss Chard! For some reason, my CSA box decides that I need lots of it every week!

Greetings McPants! How are things going with you? Gabe and I just successfully ventured to the grocery store.

One thing Chard is lousy in is lasagnia, btw. I haven't tried including it in anything else yet.

As an experiment, I froze a box full of washed and washed chard. I'll report back when I cook it.

I'm glad that the grocery store trip was successful! I'm looking forward to my own such adventures come January/February!

I think after the CSA box is done for the season, I may just have to admit to myself that I'm not a big fan of swiss chard. But only after I'm not having to figure out what to do with it every week.

But I do adore dino kale...

ORLY?! :D :D Congrats!

Let me know if you'd like any advice. I don't want to be one of those annoying people who give advice un-asked-for. :)

Woot!!!!!
