I took a few photos that I meant to use for the April food blog, but then forgot to write it, but here they are anyway. I mostly forgot to take photos or keep a record in April. It was a busy month.
This is our Berkey water filter. It will filter a gallon and a half or more at a time. We love it..our well water, while plentiful, has a taste we don't like. The Berkey takes care of that.
I have written before about canning "marinated salad", but I don't think I have shown a photo of how it looks in the jar. So pretty. And tasty! Layers of cucumbers, onions, and red and yellow tomatoes in a pickling solution. The recipe called for cherry tomatoes but I had slicing tomatoes that needed to be used. I just chop this up and mix with pasta and dressing, maybe some shredded carrots and chopped celery and have a quick pasta salad. Delicious.
A good idea to date the eggs... especially as one needs older eggs for boiling and fresh for poaching or omelette making
ReplyDelete...today we will enjoy the first asparagus from the garden.
ReplyDeleteDating eggs is pretty unusual (to me) and clever.
ReplyDeleteI would love those eggs! The eggs I can get from the supermarkets are simply WHITE. Hardly see any brown one.

DeleteThe marinated salad looks delicious and is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteOur son had canned some venison last fall. None of us have the courage to try it. I know you have done it and say it is very good, I just cannot get over the look.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea for the marinated salad. That sounds so interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe marinated salad looks good. I never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteI have a set of pot holders hanging in my kitchen that match your Spring Makes me Smile tea towel 💗
ReplyDeleteYour marinated salad looks very tasty indeed. I am a big fan of that kind of food.
ReplyDeleteFascinated by the filter. My grandparents' well had sulpur and so my grandfather designed and built a 'drip' in the well house to control the taste and smell. It fascinated me as a child. He sure could have used one of those machines; I have to report that the 'drip' did not work too well and the grandkids whined about smelly baths, etc. We were, um, brats.
