Too many radishes !

I have grown up eating radishes. I have eaten them plain mostly but like to slice them and put on buttered bread for a sandwich. (Something I learned from my Dad). I have added them to green leafy and potato salads as well. I really thought that I had them every way possible. Now our twin granddaughters like them sliced by the hand full.
We have included them in most of the gardens that we have planted over the years. Usually we plant early and then once harvested we plant tomatoes or some other later crop. We no longer have a large garden. Mostly we are planting in containers. This year we decided to grow a few vegetables so the twins can learn to appreciate where their food comes from.
Like every year we seem to plant so all of the radishes are ready at the same time. So I decided to find a different way to use them and found a recipe for Sweet and Spicy Pickled Radishes. The addition of Cilantro and Jalapeno peppers added the spice to the usual pickling brine. I wish I had spent more time packing the radishes nicely for the picture but that doesn't effect the taste. These really surprised me. Both in the ease of making and how well they taste. These are ear marked to top some Tacos that I plan to make in a few days!
I have included a picture of radishes (sharing their space with some chives) in one of our containers and some of the other containers. If you have an unusual way to use radishes let me know. Looks like I am about ready to harvest !

It was just a platter !

There was a platter in some of my grandmothers things that my father had brought home years ago. There is a picture of a turkey on the face of the platter. It is still in fair condition considering that I am sure grandma used it a lot. We celebrated every holiday and lots of Sundays eating at her house. And since she didn't have a lot of "stuff" stored around in her small house, I'm sure I have seen it setting on the table with hams, turkeys or meat loafs to be served. It wasn't until I turned it over that the true value of this platter was revealed to me! No it wasn't a makers mark from a fine china company in Japan or Germany. Nothing to convince me that this was valuable fine china. It was a piece of adhesive tape right in the middle of the back. Written in grandma's hand writing was a note. It read, From Mary Kathryn and Robert Lee, 1953. It was a gift to her from my parents in the year that I was born. Priceless! The first thing I d...

Cooking at 7200

I recently I drove to Laramie Wyoming to visit my son and daughter in law. As usual, when we get together we cook. We try new techniques and recipes that we think will compete or beat restaurant meals. I believe that we were successful with our attempts this time. Although it took me awhile to adjust to cooking at a high altitude. It takes a longer time or hotter temp to complete your dish. First up, Ty. Ty was anxious to show me a new technique. He used a Sous Vide to cook a Prime Rib Roast. A Sous Vide device brings your dish to a perfect temperature in a vacuum sealed bag in water and holds it there until you are ready. In this case it was a rib roast. After reaching the assigned temp he then seasoned the roast and seared all sides to finish. For a beef eater this was outstanding. I can see a Sous Vide device in my kitchen soon. I had a Cooks Country magazine from Feb/Mar 2020 with me to try some new recipes. I made their It...
