The Edible Garden 2014

We have the garden for this year going now. Five tomato plants, a red pepper, a cucumber, some parsley and basil waiting to go in. We also have the rosemary that lives forever, a great sage plant I put in last year, and a volunteer zucchini and I curious to monitor.

 

This year I am going with fewer tomato plants and shooting for maximum production from each.

Slow Cooker Red Chicken 4/2/14

Made a red chicken recipe in the slow cooker – from: “Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker.”  Could not have been easier, and was excellent. The best part has turned out the have been the red sauce that is left over from the recipe.

Sunday Barbecued Pork Loin 5/4/14

This was a simple. I bought a marinated pork loin from Lundardi’s, and did the following:

On the propane grill:

  • about three minutes a side over high heat for a very light sear;
  • at the same time, I grilled some fresh sage and chopped fresh rosemary;
  • I wrapped the pork loin in foil with olive oil and the rosemary and sage, and set it on the top shelf in the propane barbecue for one hour;

Over charcoal:

  • I seared it on all sides over high heat

It was perfectly cooked; fantastic. We served it with white rice and broccoli, grilled over the charcoal.
