Cobbler

Made cobbler again last night - one of my favorites - pear ginger. The topping I am currently using is one adapted from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. A must have cookbook. Since it is just me and my hubby, I've been experimenting with smaller portions for cobblers and such, something we can eat in one sitting.  This is not one of those recipes, sorry.

Collard Greens and Grilled Chicken

It is summer today in Sacramento - triple digit temperature. We pruned roses. Those roses. There are so many bushes here and while just dead heading is not such a chore - it is when there are so many of them. So we got up early and pruned for about an hour got the front yard done - we'll finish the back yard next weekend.

Afterward we had muesli with plain yogurt and fruit - strawberries, apricots, blackberries and apples - and just a touch of honey. Hit the spot on such a warm morning.

Endive Recipe

This is a great salad - very elegant and delicious! My hubby loves watercress. Adapted it from a recipe off the endive growers website:

Wowzers and Gooseberry Meringue Pie

Just checking out some other blogs - some folks have real extensive blogs and great add on things. Maybe I'll have to experiment some more - right in my spare time - as if I have time to actually write as much as I do on this blog.

So Craig loves pie - in particular gooseberry pie. I found a nifty recipe for gooseberry meringue pie that we both really liked.

Off to Baltimore and Roasted Celery Root

Tomorrow we are flying to Baltimore. I am going to the NDRN Annual Conference http://www.ndrn.org/index.htm. I am currently the president of NDRN's Board of Directors and have been for nearly 2 years. I go off as president in May - terms only last 2 years.
