Homegrown Mess

Our dinner came completely from our own garden.

To emphasize the DIY nature of the meal, we cooked it in our solar oven--making this almost a zero-carbon meal (except, of course, that fact that all the food was previously living and made of carbon).

We dug our very first little tiny pearls of new potatoes, then added our first-of-the-season tomato, a zucchini and a yellow squash, a few green beans, a chioggia beet, some yellow-stemmed chard, and a little basil.

It isn't the prettiest dish we've ever made, but I have never been prouder:

Pretty isn't always delicious. It Certainly was salubrious and nourishing, and made in a enviromentally friendly manner.:D

Good food doesn't always manifest in nice pictures. You must feel so satisified eating a meal completely from your garden!

I haven't commented on your blog in ages, but I have been reading! And I just want to say that I really appreciate all of your food posts, pretty pictures or no. (And I happen to think that looks delicious anyway.)

And on a side note, do you know of any good vegetarian food blogs? I read some vegan blogs, but haven't come across any good ovo-lacto vegetarian ones.

I'm so impressed. I bet it was the best tasting meal you had.
