Food and others




Well, finally I'm feeling much better and had finished all of the canning. I ended up with much less tomato sauce than last year but still I made about 15 jars. I went wild on the chutney though and made 3 different types! I also conserved some organic pears and apricots (when they were in season). I can not wait to open one of them in Christmas. Oops, someone is thinking Christmas already :) For now, I will share with you some photos of the different food I made this summer. All veggies were from my plot and the others, like pasta, cheese, etc, were sourced from local and organic producers. I did not follow any recipe, I just used what I had and all turned delicious :) 

 Pasta with aubergine and seeds
 Potato fritters topped with cheese and tomato sauce then in the oven for few minutes
 Crustless, wheat-free potato Quiche (Grate the potato, add some corn flour, oil, a bit of water, mix, then mould into quiche/pie dish, add your desired veggies, add the egg mix (eggs+milk+Salt+some spices), top with cheese and cook in the oven till ready. so yummy and light and addictive :)
 Vegetarian Moussaka :) For the yellow to I added a bit of turmeric to the egg mix
Salad (fresh tomatoes, garlic, peaches, cooked meglio, parsley, and a fried egg (extra virgin olive oil, salt and vinegar)

    1. Thanks Anna, I've been cooking like mad; I guess my accident made me want to enjoy life to the full and one of joys is food. Plus, I have lost a lot of weight, I'm so skinny now and need to fatten up for winter :)
      I wish I can send you some grapes; in the nearby fields there are lots and lots of them; so much I was thinking to turn them into raisins. I made lots of grape juice though :) Next year I will be more prepared and make some raisins

I left my well paid job to pursue a life as an off grider, living off the land, eating only seasonal and local food; growing my own food, raising checkins for eggs. I live on a very little money but I'm happy and content. Never been this happy before. Welcome to my world.
