alice's kitchen cookbook blog featured on "Grow Your Own" blog

my recent post about planting fava beans and using homegrown beans in our lebanese winter soup shourbat makhlouta was found and i was invited to submit my post to Grow Your Own roundup. the big bean in the foreground is a scarlet runner bean from last year's garden!

so of course, i did! check out the link to see the many entries for middle of the winter (except some entries from australia are mid-summer) dishes, along with my blog post.


since i garden and cook, there will be more connecting with "grow your own" cooks!


at a nursery in LA yesterday, i looked with longing at someone walking around with a tomato plant! that won't happen in portland until may at the earliest (without a greenhouse!).
