A week or so ago, I was in a class where I learned about Square Foot Gardening. It's quite an amazing approach to gardening. As soon as our teacher said there was no weeding involved... EVER... I was sold. After the class, my mother-in-law and I decided to start our own square foot garden together. She's a lot more experienced than I am when it comes to gardening. She also reads the directions, which I am notoriously bad at. Anyway, this is our progress so far. We got the building and set up out of the way, so now we just need to plant and let things grow! I will keep you posted on our garden's progress. Square foot gardens definitely have the potential to make it as one of my favorite things...especially when it comes time to harvest! I can't wait to come up with, and share some new recipes inspired by our garden...
It seems that on every cooking competition on TV, pureed this, and foamed that, are all the rave. I don't get it. All I know is, as Moto Moto the Hippo from Madagascar says, "I like 'em chunky"... at least when it comes to potatoes... and babies. Here is one of my favorite ways to make them... potatoes, that is. Super easy and amazingly delicious! Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cubed water for boiling salt to taste 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives 4 ounces Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese Directions 1. Boil the potatoes in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes or until they are tender. Check with a fork. 2. Drain the water and mix in the 'cream cheese', and chives and stir with a large spoon, breaking up the potatoes as you mix. You could use a potato masher, but like I said, "I like 'em chunky". 3. Salt to taste.
