Gardening update, May 27

Mm… there’s not really anything that beats food grown in your own home. Jalapeños, cherry tomatoes, rucola and basil, all homegrown. (Bought the mozarella and the baguette, due to a certain lack of buffalo around here and being out of flour :) )

My art classes start again tonight so I’m bringing a snack bento to [...]

Bento #209 – pizza pockets

Homemade pizza pockets with mushrooms on lettuce, some spinach with garlic in a cup, sundried and non-dried tomatos, cress, grapes, a bottle of vinegar and a minimuffin.
The BF’s pizza pocket got prettier. I don’t know why mine fell in and didn’t get as nice and poofy!

They’re filled with tomato sauce (the best pizza sauce is [...]
