(e:ladycroft)-- I never thought to just toss a bit on top of just about anything. I have some experimenting to do. And yes, ofcourse I will share!! :)
(e:zobar) --I love tzatziki! HAHA, that is my kind of recipe! If I throw this and that together it will form this.. I can follow that logic. Tzatziki, here I come..
But if I really want it to turn into tzatziki, maybe I will try the detailed recipe route. I have learned that not all of my creations or 'very loosely followed' recipes turn out spectacula..or edible. Thanks (e:dragonlady7) :) btw, I feel kinda silly asking.. but how do I start a new crop of dill? I think mine has gone to seed (thats where the flowery things are on top, right?).. and I have plenty of room to grow more if I know what I am doing.
(e:leetee) hmmmm dill butter sounds good. I think I could handle that. ooh, especially with corn season..
(e:pyrcedgrrl) failed to mention that the Noodle Recipe is all that she thinks I can aspire to. "I thought you might try the noodles.. how bad can you fuck up noodles??" heh.. I am quite capable of fucking up anything in the kitchen, pardon my language. Ive burned, melted and exploded cookware. And annihilated food.
Maybe I'll try making the butter first ;)
oh Daaannnnnnnaaaaaaaaa, I have two eggplants in my fridge, waiting for you to come over and make babaganoush.. its been almost a year.....
So, thank you very much, peeps! I appreciate the time all of you took to help me out, as (e:mrmike) said, in the great pickle I found myself in. har har.
I recall making pickles as a kid. Didnt have anything like a dill-crock as (e:jenks) mentioned. We made them from home grown cukes and sliced them up with the herbs and other seasonings before tossing them into the freezer. Now I need to ask my mom about the recipe.
My herbs are growing really well; they are not cooking in this heat yet. Basil smells so good, as does the lavender and lemon balm. I love the mint as well-- it makes my nose tingle.
(e:libertad) , which herbs are your bunny's favorite?
I have basil, lemon basil, oregeno, parsley, sage, dill, lavender, rosemary, thyme, mint, ornage mint, chocolate-orange mint, spearmint, catnip (?? stuff I made mojitos with, haha), stevia, maybe more..
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH! Friday night (e:pyrcedgrrl) and I stopped at Wegmans. We raided the produce aisle and looky what I found, to my delight and to the confusion of other shoppers:
(WIKIPEDIA - Lychee)
Lychee nuts. Juicy!
(e:ladycroft) and I scoured New York state last year looking for these damn fruits. Nice that we can finally buy fresh ones..
To ensure that your dill comes back, wait until the flowers get kinda dryish, then pick one and shake it over a piece of paper, or run your fingers over it and catch the seeds. The seeds are small, oval, darkish.
Put them in dirt. Water it. New crop of dill should come up in a couple weeks. Dill's ready pretty fast. I have little clumps of it all over my yard. They kinda get everywhere. Oh well! Must eat more!
You noticed that too, huh? I agree.. they look like gonads.
Oooh, did you try your Florida Avocado yet? Mine was a bit squishy by the time I got to it, but it tasted just like a Haas Avocado...but with something like 1/2 the fat and calories? Good stuff! (Oh, I tried mine on a turkey sammich w/ that sabrosa spread we both have. It was EXCELLENT!!)
P.S. Yes, it's true, I have enough faith in you to believe you could not screw up egg noodles...BUT I'm sure you could make a fine 'ole mess of the rest of those recipes....and I'm sure when you were done that's turn out even better. ;)
now that i'm thinking of it not sure if he can have herbs like those. I have read that they can treat various illnesses, but if he is in good health maybe they are harmful? not sure, better wait out till i have more info. Rabbits can get sick and can die very quickly because of their small body size and sensitive digestive system. Now wab is esentially eating just timothy hay and leafy greens. (Rabbit pellets equal eventual premature death) If you know of anybody selling top quality hay in your area let me know. Generally, if its good enough for a horse, it is good enough for rabbit. Horses and rabbits have similar digestive systems. Both are also in danger of molds in the hay, so it has to be fresh. quality hay in the stores is making me broke.
'We raided the produce aisle and looky what I found, to my delight'
Gonads?
If you let the dill go to seed, it will come back on its own - probably in more places than you'd expect.
Another excellent dill recipe is gravlax: raw salmon pressed and cured with aquavit or vodka, salt, and enormous amounts of fresh dill. It tastes a lot like lox but more subtle.
