Cooking K

Potato + red pesto + onion + carrot + radish + flat leaf parsley = one great meal. 

Still-warm applesauce + kefir + cinnamon = gooooooood morning!

I'm on a cooking kick. After last winter's paucity of fruit & veg (aside from the ever ubiquitous onion, potato, and beet...and there were oranges and kiwis available, too), I've decided to fill my freezer with fruit and veggie goodness to help me get through the winter doldrums. So far, I've got cauliflower, persimmons, and pomegranates in the freezer. I have peaches sitting on the dining room table waiting to be blanched, peeled, & sliced, and I'm boiling a head-sized kabocha-looking pumpkin I bought at the market this morning (for a mere 1.50 lari, which amounts to an even more mere 90 cents). This morning I made applesauce, some of which will be frozen into individual-sized portions (I'm so glad my mom sent over ziploc baggies). My freezer is small, so I'm not sure just how much frozen goodness I'll be able to cram in to it, but at least I won't feel like I have nothing to eat come the middle of February.
