This time of year what I like best is a tuna melt with a bowl of Campbells.

Anyone have any wonderful ideas, more ways to consume more fruits and
vegetables [besides just tossed salads and fruit salads]?? Any ideas,
recipes would be greatly appreciated... Thanks! :-)

I like a pita sandwich stuffed with sprouts, cucumber, tomato, green and/or
black olives, and some ranch dressing.

Salade Nicoise with a wedge of fresh bread from the Great Harvest.
Cold berry soup with a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream.
Barbeque Chicken and Corn on the Cob (locally grown, of course.)
A BIG FAT Sandwich from Zingermans in their back yard!
Scuse me, I'm hungry now.

Hi denise! Salade Nicoise consists mainly of lettuce, string beans, cold
cut up new potatoes (skin on), black olives, chunks of tuna, (and I add, not
knowing or caring if its authentic) slices of red onions, anchovy strips,
cubed hard boild eggs (when I throw cholesteral caution to the winds). Then
you douse the whole thing with an oil (olive for purists) and vinegar
(balsamatic. . er. .balsamic) and serve with a fresh chunk torn off a french or
sour dough bread. Oh yea, I also add wedges of tomato.
The berry soup I make is a variation from the Moosewood Cookbook. From
memory. . .A quart of OJ mixed with two cups of any mixture of sour cream,
yogurt (I use vanilla) or buttermilk, dashes of cinamon, a few tablespoons
of fresh lemon juice, honey to taste. Then, I scrunch up a quart or so
of any fresh berries or combination of same in my blender. Mix the berries
in with the OJ mixture, taste (adding what you think it needs) and then
let it chill for a few hours. Serve with a "dollop" of yogurt or sourcream.
Um mmmm, delicious on a hot night.

Thanks!

We have been cooking up a pot of potatoes in the late evening, when it starts
to cool off, and eating it all the next day, to avoid having to cook when it
is hot. Or cold rice or millet. For breakfast, rather than heating the
kitchen with oatmeal. I am getting tired of cold potatoes - any other ideas
of things that don't need cooking (or can be precooked), are locally grown
and organic, and vegan? And not refined, or cooked by someone else. This
is getting difficult, I am looking forward to the corn season, and the
tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers.... Last time I was at the
market still just lettuce, spinach and kale. But we have raspberries and
strawberries ripe now, and some bush cherries. And mulberries, and black
raspberries, and juneberries, and wild amaranth and onion tops and chives (to
put in the beans along with last year's tomatoes). When will the first corn
be ripe this year?

This year the raspberries and juneberries are later, and there is still not
too much at the market. Peas in the pod, beet greens, chinese cabbage, and
some greenhouse tomatoes and zucchini and cucumbers, We are experimenting
with freezing mulberries, which are pretty fragile and bland but maybe we can
combinethem with dried apricots for tang.

resp:12 nah-- what Scott is referring to in resp:11 is that if you
pick maize like that, you'll be eating more sugar, less starch. Much
sweeter.
I enjoy cooking it in the husk over coals as opposed to boiling. Full
husk, mind you-- once the husk has been burnt, your cob is done.
resp:13 I've never seen wild amaranth.
re: gazpacho all over the place, I'd love to make it, but I understand
it's expensive. Anyway, I enjoy falfel in pita bread with tomato,
cucumber, sprouts, and tiki sauce.
Anything about a BBQ is wonderful. I'm looking forward to one on the
12th for my gaming group.

Gaspacho is cheap in the summer.
Layer in a blender or food processor, bottom to top:
Red onion 1 small
Garlic 2 cloves
Green pepper 1 small
Cucumber, peeled 1 medium
Tomato 3
Salt 1 tsp (or less)
Pepper some
Chicken stock 1/4 C
Basil leaves 1 fresh
This grinds onions and garlic but leaves green pepper in larger
chunks. Much better if left for 24 hours.

None of the above ingredients other than basil are yet available at the
market except greenhouse grown tomato and cucumber. I will wai, and continue
being inventive with peas and Chinese cabbage and very small homegrown
carrots.

The Gaspacho recipe was given to me by Bob Parnes, an historic figure in
computing.

In all the grocery stores I use, the ingredients are available. Most of them
are shipped from parts of the country that are further south than Michigan,
and are not greenhouse-grown vegetables. Most of the ingredients are on sale
at reduced prices on a regular basis. For everyone but Sindi they are cheap
and readily available.
