Because really, is this not some seriously photogenic food?
I grew everything but the onion . . . and the tofu.
Is this really what my life has become? Is this the most excitement I can offer you today? Dirty vegetables and tofu?
Yes. Don't be so demanding.
You also didn't grow the cotton for the tablecloth. Or the wood for the table. (I'm assuming, because the little bit of wood I can see looks like it's probably older than you.) I'm just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteSee? Demanding. The day I start growing my own cotton is the day you can have me committed.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, that's not a table--it's a daybed. And that's not a tablecloth--it's a sheet. Yes, I put the food on the dogs' couch in the kitchen (they weren't on it at the time). It was the only surface that had enough natural light for a non-flash photo.
Another post I can really get behind! What are you making? Finally something I could eat?
ReplyDeleteYeah, when was the last time you slaved over a hot stove for us? Huh? Huh? When???
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try potatoes next year... did you do the box that keeps getting taller as you fill it method?
I love your food pic! Just wait until I whip out mine when I do an update post on moving my garden (which has yet to happen)...I am not a photog at heart but I loooooooved taking pictures of my homegrown veggies! In the words of pop star Christina Aguilera, "You(r) [veggies] are beautiful no matter what they say..." Okay, that was super dorky but it seems I can get away with such things in the blogging world!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sara, you could have eaten it. I made curry last night.
ReplyDeleteMeadowlark, I don't know what method that is you're referring to. We just plant the potatoes in a hole in the ground and then hill the dirt up around the potatoes as the plants get bigger. The hilling is a total bitch, but it only has to be done once or twice.
Mmmm...curry! Care to share your recipe? (If it's easy; if not, eh.)
ReplyDeleteCurry . . . recipe? I don't really use a recipe. The basic method is heat oil, add curry powder to fry a bit (this is necessary, or else the curry powder will taste really gross--trust me), then the aromatics (onion, ginger, garlic, etc.), then you add chicken stock/water/coconut milk and vegetables in the order it will take to cook (i.e., carrots and stuff first, potatoes and the like last). I also add a bit of cream at the end if I haven't used coconut milk. That's all. Way easy. Like stir-fry, the worst part is the chopping of all the veggies.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. I've never made curry. It's on the list of things I only eat when I go out because it seems too difficult to make.
