Parsley and Dill

Oh, the parsley and dill! It made us think of our favorite new potato recipe. There are so many variations, but the basic is this:

Boil red or new potatoes (with or without skin) until cooked but still firm. Put in glass pan with butter or olive oil to taste. Stir in fresh parsley and dill - add a little more or less of whichever you like. You can add some sea salt or pepper to taste. That's it! You're ready to eat.

Happy Greens

All the rain may make the potatoes cranky, but boy, are the greens ever happy this year!

Our favorite easy recipe for spinach, kale, or chard:

1 or 2 bunches of greens

2 cloves of garlic

Olive oil

Sea salt

Slice garlic, sauté in olive oil, greens, stir till wilted and thoroughly warm. Remove, add salt to taste, and eat!

Perfect timing too as some of our squash seeds did not germinate and some tomato plants suffered in the 100 degree heat earlier this month.
