We Go Together Like Peas and Carrots

This evening, we shelled the English peas together and "Bob" made the herbed peas and carrots. We also finished up the rest of the romaine head (it was getting quite droopy) and had some turkey meatloaf (delicious as always).

The recipe (from Chow.com) for the peas and carrots was good. Next time we'll add ginger as "Bob" suggested. The recipe (we halved the amounts that it called for) made enough for four servings, so we'll have some for lunch tomorrow along with the kohlrabi slaw.

The spinach is looking like it won't last much longer, so that'll have to be made tomorrow. Despite all the produce we started with, we're staring to make a dent in a lot of it (giving my mom a head of romaine and 2 green squash didn't hurt).

We're going to have to start a new composter. The materials in the one we made a few weeks ago appear to be decomposing, but we'll never have any compost if we continue to add new waste. Speaking of waste, we're doing very well with our garbage output. We're down to less than a bag per week. Most of what we use can be recycled or composted. We'll have to start paying attention to the types of plastic containers we buy though. I want to make sure that we only purchase the most recyclable types.
