 The air is getting cooler, the kids are going back to school. Fall has arrived and not too long after that, it will be cold and snowy winter. Or at least it will be here where I live. Some of my favorite foods to eat in the winter are soups, stews and chili. There is an easy thing that you can do now that will make cooking all these dishes quicker and easier this winter: Make a big stock of soup, stew and chili base. Doing so will make cooking these items a breeze all winter long.

 Here are the bananas, after 12 and 1/2 hours of dehydrating. It was very late last night when I was satisfied they were done, so I just turned off the dehydrator and went to bed.
BIG MISTAKE !!! When I tried to remove them from the tray they were stuck tight. I mean, I could turn the tray upside down and not a banana moved. To get them off, I had to pry them off with a knife. That was fun!  I was fixing myself some lunch today and I noticed a bunch of six banana on the counter. They were very ripe. I mean the one more day and they will be compost, ripe. I went over in my head, the options I had to save these poor bananas.  I went outside yesterday to do some weeding and I was shocked to see how many more vegetables were ripe and ready to be picked. So much for the theory that my plants are winding down for the season.
I picked a bunch of green beans (I thought they were done for the season!) and a bunch more red peppers, green peppers and banana peppers. I harvested two beautiful Romaine lettuce plants (there are at least 8 more) and a ton more leeks. I also noticed that about half of the yellow Spanish onions heads were big enough to pull up. I toted a large bucket full of veggies to the kitchen for cleaning. I didn't even get to the tomatoes yet, I will pick them later in the week. Whew! I thought the summer planting was coming to a close. Not even close. |
