Black Bean Soup Ingredients:
Miso Soup Miso salmon the previous night left us with an entire container minus 3/4 teaspoon of miso so now we are experimenting bi-nightly with miso soup. We really just raid our fridge and follow our hearts on this one (we as in Carlos): vegetable broth, tofu, crimini mushrooms, asparagus, kale, soba noodles, cilantro, ginger, garlic, sprouts, onion. We combined two or three vegetarian tortilla soup recipies
Not really too much of a departure from black bean soup but I like Carlos's method of adding sour cream, avocado, and tortilla chips at the bottom of the bowl and pouring the soup over it. I am thankful for his innovative approach to presentation, as well as his grasp of ingredient #10. We were both starving and he kindly held off on indulging in our feast while I coughed out a too-large tortilla chip for 10 minutes after my first impatient bite. This is only the beginning of going down the rabbit hole with Dan as our farm coach. It looks harmless enough but Dan + seeds + plaid/camo + impressionable minds could = revolution. I don't know if this is what GoFarm had in mind. New ideas I'm trying to grasp:
Do you really need to buy fertilizers and soils? Preferable to take soil from your own farm to start seedlings in. At GoFarm we have some vermicast, turkey litter, and other fertilizers to mix in our potting soil to start some seedlings, but have to be conscious of "spoiling" the seedlings with a super nutrient rich environment and then shocking them with the soil environment when they're planted in our plots.
This sanitized environment and "don't let the seeds/package touch the ground" is quite different than the seedling making i'm use to. Now i'm self-conscious about the casualty I take to making seedlings at Ted's and surprised he lets me do this task with 4 year olds! Beginning to understand farmer's hesitation for volunteer "help" on farms. |
