Lately in the kitchen

It's been a slow week in the kitchen lately between summer fun, swimming, checking off my list of major projects and some crochetting and gardening.  But here is what did happen.

::  Spent time browsing The Big Book of  Preserving The Harvest.
::  Dried out herbs parsley, dill and cilantro.
::  Enjoyed from the garden lettuce and broccoli and more herbs.
::  Froze garlic scapes pesto.
::  Made smoothies and homemade popcicles.
::  Spent afternoons at the pool cooling off.
::  Collected more sea glass and pottery.
