I’ve finally busted out from the city, and decided to spend the next 5 days eating what I can buy, grow, or scavenge within a bicycle range of my home near the Black Creek, between Picton and Milford, here in Prince Edward County.
Fortunately for me, I couldn’t have choose to try this experiment in a better location! Vicki’s Veggies is especially nearby, separated by the Black River Cheese Factory. For a well-motivated excursion over that’a way, is Long Dog Winery, near Pete and Barb’s farm stand where I may even find lamb….and peas yet? we’ll see.
I’ve been working alot in TO , but managed to bake Rhubarb Crisp from the garden; Steven Draper came by for tea..agreed the garden was chaotic, but gave food photography a whirl instead of the taking more of his panoramic landscape shots. Come back when the Columbia Blue Raspberries are ripe.
Ah…but help with garden planning is on the way. Ruth’s Canteen continues to develope organically; meanwhile it’s time to enjoy an appetite surrounded by harvests.
Tonight’s dinner ? Crispy Potato Pancakes with slivered fresh snow peas (from Vicki’s Veggies), topped with Chow Chow from Pat’s Jam’s…a departure from the classic theme of applesauce and sour cream for latkes, with a recipe here. I actually had to force myself to save a few for tomorrow’s breakfast hash with eggs (and snow peas….so good!)
