Harvest Monday (12-17-12)

Freeze kind of liquified my lettuces, despite the fact that they were covered.

It tried to get the carrots, but for the most part, the carrot tops survived. I went ahead and pulled some, and they are very small.  I replanted some, but don’t know if they will keep growing. Time will tell.

I decided that since they were so young and small, I’d just cook in butter and let them caramelize a bit.

They were yum.

The Book That Launched the Contest is Now for Sale

If you read romance novels or know somebody who does, I’d love you to buy my new romance, Scandalous. (How is that for subtle?) Okay, I’ll be even more direct. It’s available on Amazon and Kobo and at Book View Cafe!

    Those carrots look delicious, especially with the manner in which you prepared them! Will have to check out your book.

      Thank you on both counts! As for the carrots, they really did cook nicely, but I forgot to take a pic after.

    Liquified lettuce doesn’t sound so good, but carrots caramelized in butter sounds really yummy!

      I don’t know if the lettuce plants will survive with the loss of foliage or if the entire plants are goners. But the carrots were delish!

    Glad I have my lettuce in windowboxes and bring them into the garage at night for protection not just from the cold but from the deer. I don’t think I would like liquified lettuce.

      Sounds like a smart system. My greens handle the cold much better than those poor, tender lettuces.

    One of my favorite ways to cook carrots, especially the baby thinnings, now made better with the addition of ginger — brilliant!

      Ginger is a great/grate idea. Yum! I might even do that for Christmas.
