First a brief Gardening Roots update

It's past pea time!  So I set up a "trellis" and planted snap peas. It's a mixture of old seed from a couple of years ago and new seed from Ferry Morse, which I don't like much. But it's what I had.

Yes, I know this looks awfully boring: 

While I was turning over the bed where lettuce, radishes and carrots is going to go, I found this. How it got there, I have no idea.

To-Try Recipe #19: African Vegetables

 

This is technically a re-try, not a to-try. But it had been a long time since I made it, and I didn’t remember why I thought it was so good. Basically, it’s a vegetable stew seasoned with peanut butter, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. And since I hate cinnamon in spicy dishes, it’s just peanut butter and cayenne pepper. And tomato paste, which gives it a rich flavor.

And yes, it is indeed still as good as I thought it was the first time. The only change I would make is to use unsweetened peanut butter. I have a jar of it, bought for the purpose, but it seemed silly to open a jar just to use a quarter cup when I already have an open jar of Peter Pan in the fridge.  But yes, that was a mistake.

Keep or Discard?  Keep. And do it right next time.
