Just have a minute...

I'm on a lunch break, but I wanted to check on my blog. I didn't follow through so well with the challenge, but I'm still wanting to do this. And, actually, I have been doing much better, and have been experimenting with various things and making more on my own than I used to do.

I cooked vegetables while home for Thanksgiving, and all were delicious. Turnips cooked with a bit of salt, sugar, and seasoned with a bit of butter and crumbled bacon and fresh chives. Turnip greens (or were they mustard greens?) sauteed in bacon fat, with a little lemon juice. Fresh carrots with butter and fresh parsley. Asparagus barely cooked and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh parsley, thyme and chives. And I changed the Spanish rice recipe to use the fresh herbs and a can of plain tomatoes - delicious, as I said. I guess I could call that Riz Provencal, since it was with thyme.

Well, this is not the ideal place to write. I'm glad I checked in, though. I have been keeping a food journal (the old-fashioned way), and I also intend to start yet another blog. More about that later.

A bientot.
