I have a recipe for pickled vegetables that’s really good. Similar to giardiniera, very colorful, and should keep 2-4 weeks in the fridge. If you don’t like one of the veggies just leave it out but I’d keep the onion and the capers. Serve as is, on salad, or as part of an antipasto platter. #Recipe

We got café au lait and beignets at Café Du Monde (and got covered in powdered sugar), a hurricane and a muffaletta at a well known tourist trap, BBQ with friends, and a nice dinner at a little French bistro. We also saw the botanical garden, went on a “true crime” tour, and saw the aquarium too.

We made it home. Got an emergency alert about a flash flood warning 20 minutes from the house. Yes, ok, if we can just get to our house we will not attempt to travel anymore this evening. Unless told to evacuate. 😳

For example, I’ve been buying this “baby potato medley” and it counts as three different plants because it has red, yellow, and blue potatoes (PS: the blue ones are a pretty purple color on the inside). I boil them 10-15 minutes until tender, then top with a little olive oil, parsley, and garlic.

Soy products could maybe help with perimenopause symptoms, so I got some of these Crunchy Roasted Edamame Beans. They’re pretty good, especially with mixed nuts.

So this is happening. We covered husband’s car with moving blankets and a tarp over that, before the rain started. The power went off immediately. Tiny hail so far.

I didn’t buy spring mix for years because it’d always have sketchy bits, but I’ve been trying spring mix blends from HEB or Central Market and they’ve been fine. There are several options (such as “Herb Garden Blend” or “Super Greens”) and I just buy whichever one has the latest best by date. 🥗

Today’s working-from-home lunch is Coconut Curry Soup. Green beans, carrot, green onions, corn, ginger, ramen noodles, and leftover Thai chicken. And a few other things. The soup is based on an Everyplate (meal kit service) recipe, “Lime in the Coconut Curry Noodle Soup” and it’s really good. 🍲

Have I mentioned this stuff before? It’s frozen crushed ginger. If you ever use ginger when cooking, this is the best thing ever. So much better than peeling and mincing ginger roots yourself. Look for it in the freezer section of the grocery store (they also have garlic, basil, and cilantro). 👩🍳🫚
