Art Food - Food Art, & Abundance

Food can be so beautiful. Some fresh veggies have amazing colors shapes, and patterns, and of course food can be assembled into beautiful creations, like that flower covered chocolate birthday cake.

Sometimes just a particular vegetable is extra special, like that cool tomato, and sometimes you just need to look closely, like the zucchini, or chard.

























































We are still getting quite a bit of food from the garden.

That is only a small portion of the peppers we have right now, we picked them all off the plants so won't get anymore but we have 3 boxes of them, two of spicy peppers which are going to be pickled, and one of peppers for stuffing. We had a very warm and sunny October, which made the peppers, and strawberries, happy.

The bowl of strawberries on the gardenshed table in the picture I picked today, yes we still have lots of strawberries even in November. And last week Sara made a bunch of jars of strawberry jam from the berries we picked then.

A week or two ago after I picked all the basil I took off all the good leaves and had a huge bowl, really a huge bowl (it is sitting on a regular sized wooden picnic bench and is a lot wider) of basil, then made pesto.
