Maggie found this recipe for gluten-free and grain-free granola. It looks good. We'll have to make this soon.
The "Eggplant Paprika" didn't turn out that well. I think I put in too much vinegar. Oh well.
My wife rescued it by turning it into a soup! I don't remember exactly what she put in, but it was good. Maybe I should try making soup the next time I have an eggplant to cook.
That's what I'm calling it, anyway. I just made it up and put it in the oven. I'm putting it in writing so I don't forget in case it turns out good. ;-)
Cut up two large eggplant and place in enameled cast iron Dutch oven on stove with some olive oil. Cook briefly. Add a generous amount of Hungarian paprika. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add some caraway seeds. Add extra olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add one bag of frozen roasted peppers. Cover Dutch oven and place in 400°F oven until done. (I don't know how long it will take ... maybe an hour?)
I'll report later on how it turned out.
I think I have twitterfeed.com working now, so future blog posts will be posted to Twitter (not the whole post, of course, since Twitter has a 140-character limit). I also put a widget on the left side of this blog that shows my recent Twitter activity. Fascinating stuff, I know. ;-)
I'm on Twitter now, under the rather unimaginative name of BP814. I'm trying to come up with a better username, but this one will have to do for now.
These blog posts should appear on my Twitter account. I just signed up for twitterfeed.com.
Tropicana has a new orange juice beverage that is sweetened with stevia. Check out Trop50 at the Tropicana website. It contains 42% orange juice (not from concentrate). This reduces the sugar content to 10 g per 8 fl. oz. (regular Tropicana orange juice has 22 g). This may be a good way to reduce your (or your family's) sugar and calorie intake without giving up orange juice completely.
With a large garden, several fruit trees, and numerous fruit bushes, I like to think of my backyard as a small farm. I hope to produce plenty of food for the family, and someday I may have enough to sell at a Farmer's Market. But ... how can I sell at a Farmer's Market unless I'm a farmer? Well, that's what I am. I'm a backyard farmer!
If you have a small farm in your backyard, let people know with this shirt! It is available in a variety of colors and styles, including men's and women's styles.
Add a little color to your morning with this mug!
