ON THE TIPS OF TONGUES
14 June 2008
And there is, of course, what I like to call "dumb fucking garbage": recyclable cans and packages strewn on the street and in the regular trash bins. Apparently the Germans (namely Berlin) are on top of this shit and got the recycling up and running in full form on the city streets; likely in any given number of other European cities as well. Food wrapped in plastic wrapped in cardboard wrapped in plastic in a little plastic bag to be placed in a plastic tupperware thing. Who needs that much shit?
Given that, we've been growing a pretty sweet garden in the backyard of our place: spinach, salad leaves, watercress, carrots, garlic, dill, thyme, and peppers. In tandem with this rad little activity we've been making a lot of food pretty much from scratch:
pizzas / vegetable pies / aduki bean and potato curry samosas / hazelnut loaf roast / mushroom gravy / baked beans with molasses / Welsh rarebit / scratch-made flour tortillas, corn tortillas, and naan / lasagne / marinated veg skewers with halloumi cheese / salads with blue cheese and balsamic-mustard-olive oil dressing / vegetarian worcestershire sauce / west african peanut stew / apple empañadas / giant soups
