Today's harvest was turned into cream of sorrel soup and a lovely mixed green salad .. accompanied with chicken patties (similar to crab cakes).
The Youngin' ate four plates of salad .. he's still a growing teen.
The soup recipe came from this book, The Lewis & Clark Cookbook .. picked up yesterday at a neighbor's garage sale for 25 cents. Ha, if you look at the price on Amazon at over $3,000 .. one might think I got a great bargain. Someone either made a mistake .. or just doesn't want to part with the cookbook. Ebay sells it for about $12. The book contains historic recipes from the Corps of Discovery & Thomas Jefferson. First published in 2002, the book is delightfully woven with hand penned notes written by Lewis and Clark. Wouldn't it be fun to host a meal and use just this cookbook?
Sunday ~ the clouds roll in and out. Right now it's clouding up and wanting to storm. Yesterday there was a break from the rain .. and the neighborhood was abuzz with lawn mowers. Today the Mr. is trimming.
Time to scoot and clean up the kitchen. Then I'll put on a nice old fashioned movie .. boy meets girl .. prairie romance.
What's up in your world?

I had my first crab cake a couple of months ago for dinner at the shelter one night. I'm not a fish girl, so I was surprised that I liked it. I bet I'd love chicken patties! Do you have a recipe?
Hi Marie .. Yes, I used this salmon patty recipe substituting canned chicken. Simply simple! http://this-newhouse.blogspot.com/2013/12/grain-gluten-free-salmon-cakes.html
