Football Epilogue

Some Strawberries from the garden, this is my sixth haul like this this year; not bad for a little two foot by four foot swath. Previous years haven't been nearly so fruitful. I guess it takes a couple years for things to really get going. There are more than can be eaten so I made a simple strawberry sauce taking hints from looking at a few recipes: 4 cups strawberries, stemmed and hulled 1/4 cup lime juice (lemon could work too, but was out) 1/2 cup sugar 1 tbsp cornstarch Mash strawberries lightly in saucepan and stir in other ingredients. Heat to dissolve sugar on low-med heat. Once more fluid heat to a boil on med-high. Turn down the heat and simmer, stirring frequently/continuously for 7-ish minutes. Allow to cool or serve warm on ice cream, pancakes, waffles, steak, hot dogs, sushi, kale or anything that could use a flavor improvement. :) Store or hot water can/jar for later. The sauce is definitely a "sometimes" food, but does preserve that tast...

One of my weekend loves is being able to cook a hot breakfast for myself. Here's what is becoming a favorite creation. Shredded zucchini hash from the garden. I cook it in a little butter, minced garlic a touch of salt and pepper and dehydrated minced onion. Zucchini has a high water content so I wring it out and even drain the pan during cooking. I then cook two over-easy eggs and several cherry tomatoes, cut in half and fried cut side down flipping towards the end until the skin is loose. I sprinkle over with a little feta cheese and add in some fruit (raspberries today) and of course my old friend coffee . :)
