There were some that weren't quite dry, so we put them into a pasta with some of my fresh pesto. It was really good. What is blitzing them and dust? I have so much to learn. <br />I was just showing my neighbor the little dwarf apples. My tuxedo cat Beamer, decided to dig and prepare to piddle right on my garlic.

I actually read something recently about blitzing them (after drying) to dust, store and just add to soups etc. Sounds interesting. Think I would miss the 'bite' though. <br /><br />You are very busy in the garden and it is good to compare ours on the east coast to yours on the west coast. Got my garlic in too,high five.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-76781863153101654112011-10-17T22:14:47.536-07:002011-10-17T22:14:47.536-07:00Erin, you must do us a post about how you use thos...Erin, you must do us a post about how you use those dehydrated tomatoes.

I just popped in to see where you were and I saw your book reading list. I have a spiritual/metaphysical/self help type store. Hard to define. I call it 'a candy store for the spirit'. I carry books by Brian Weiss, Caroline Myss and Greg Braden. It really is a small world isn't it? My store brings me nearly as much joy as the garden!! :-)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-80797867318168716362011-10-17T17:40:24.924-07:002011-10-17T17:40:24.924-07:00Hi Erin, I smiled when your 13-15C is considered w...Hi Erin, I smiled when your 13-15C is considered warm. I can't imagine the feelings of our countrymen who migrated to Canada, and i think there are many! Our coldest temperatures in Dec-Jan are from spillover winds from Siberia, which just go down around 20C. This months we feel heaven. From then on it goes soaring again reaching peaks in Mar-Apr at around 33-37C, coupled with high humidity, making you really hot, sticky, sweating profusely when outside. Can you imagine that!!! hahaha. And we cannot plant anything in those months.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
