My family is a "meat and potatoes" kinda gang so of course their responses were a bunch of moans and groans it being JUST a salad. I added chicken to "beef" it up into a hearty dinner salad and it was a hit! We will definitely be making this again. <br /><br />Thank You! =) <br /><br />- Rae.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-3313798912423116562012-07-23T08:38:59.082-05:002012-07-23T08:38:59.082-05:00Hi Candy,

Great photo. :)<br /><br />I've been meaning to make ginger scones for ages (they seem like they'd be perfect with a cup of tea, don't they?), so I'm thrilled I won't have to start from scratch coming up with a recipe.

And I know exactly what you mean about arugula's growth habits. At first I thought the leaves on this kind were going to stay really tiny and was a little disappointed, then they had a growth spurt, and then I swear the next day they started bolting. :)<br /><br />I also was afraid the leaves were going to be a little bit too spicy for my taste, especially in the heat, but I have to remind myself that nibbling a leaf plain in the garden is a lot stronger than tossing it in a salad. The taste was great. Now I just need to order some more seeds!Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-71132415352827923562012-07-20T13:13:04.125-05:002012-07-20T13:13:04.125-05:00Yeah for Missouri!!!

I love how substantial it is. Can't wait to make the kalamata vinaigrette. Never would have thought to put kalamatas in the dressing; usually put them on the salad.

I have to plant in pots and move them several times a day to get enough sun, as we're mostly shaded here on our city lot, but it's worth it to have anything that's homegrown! Have a great weekend!

Sometimes, ya' just gotta 'make do'!<br />On a completely separate note, I posted a recipe on my blog today for Ginger Cream scones and I remember you saying you like to 'collect' scone recipes! ;-) More importantly though, I FINALLY took a foodie photo that I really like!

And though I don't live as remotely as you do, I can empathize with the searching for 3 weeks to find a certain olive, since our local markets are limited.

I think I may try that one for next year. I love having arugula, but it kind of annoys me because I wait for the leaves to grow a bit large and it seems to go from small to bolting! Maybe time to break down and buy a different. (Have been saving seeds from about 15 years ago, and they might not be a good variety for me.) Biggest cheapskate I know :)! Love the potatoes too and cast iron. Stay cool my friend!Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236278932692169950noreply@blogger.com
