I like my monthly themes even when I fail at them a bit.
This month is salad every day. Yesterday, I had 2.
I don't like to cook a ton in the summer in the wee shed because it heats up.
Alas this summer, the weather is working against solar cooking most days I am home. The garden is late but greens are coming on. This morning I spent about 2 minutes picking some greens including wild greens like clover and golden rod. FYI: old mature golden rod leaves are TOUGH. I got tired of chewing. I threw in some catmint (really mild mint), walking onion leaf, and good king henry leaves from the raised bed. 2 minutes. Easy.
I had left over dressing from a trip to the Edgy Veggie salad truck yesterday (those salads are big and good...and no more costly than any other lunch out). A friend with me went to a cheese steak food truck. They are delicious, but we were on the way to give a talk in the heat outside...salad worked better. I wasn't bogged down with half a pound of salty meat.
Anyway, it's going fine. Need to pick younger wild greens or get stronger jaw muscles though!
