I love using fresh horseradish for sushi!

Oooo, you should tap one of your older maple trees and make syrup!

I was chopping jalapenos once years back and a big squirt of juice went straight up into my eyes! Oh boy was I hootin and hollering! I ran and rinsed with water and I was fine, but my eye burned for a while. Now I'm smarter. I wear gloves and glasses when I cut hot vegetables!

Our neighbor gifted us some peppers multiple times this fall. Some were piping hot while others were as mild as a bell pepper. We snacked on some of them raw with crackers and cheese and sometimes our mouths would set on fire! They were super yummy chopped and mixed into scrambled eggs.

That sounds really good right now - especially with toasted bread and lots of mayo! 😋

I think it is smart to rotate growing areas! So one year you grow tomatoes in a certain spot, the next year cucumbers, the next garlic, etc. I think it helps the soil not get depleted as much.

We spend a lot of time on our sailboat, especially in the summers and some of my favorite sea veggies to harvest are Wing Kelp (great used as sushi wraps), bull kelp (blades are good with sushi), and sea lettuce ( used in an Asian Salad)

I don't see some of my old faves----- Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, and others in their gang!
