I harvested most of our peppers and tomatoes before I left for Alaska and in the fridge they went.
When we got back, Tom picked a few more and we made pickled jalapenos. These are very spicy, so spicy that even I couldn't eat them. Maybe they need to pickle for another week.
It's looking as if we will have at least one more good harvest of peppers. We want to make jalapeno vodka for bloody mary's and if we have enough maybe a pepper jelly.
I also made a basil pesto on Saturday. I used some as the dressing for orzo pasta with almonds and topped with goat cheese crumbles. Served with chicken, mushroom, tomatoes, asparagus, and poblano peppers ragou.
For Labor Day, Tom decided that grilled steaks were in order. Served with the usual accompaniments of mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, lettuce and tomatoes.
Disclaimer, I couldn't eat that big serving of meat. Tasty leftovers? yes please!
Finally, we had bananas that were overripe, so I whipped up a batch of banana pancakes last night. After they cooled, I froze them and on a morning of running behind, pop one in the toaster (ours has a frozen setting) and voila, breakfast on the go!
