Chicken on a Stick

Yesterday I harvested the scallions from our veggie garden, and while a little on the thin side they were nice and crisp.

Scallions have a lighter, sweeter taste than most onions, so you can eat them raw in salads or other dishes.

I used most of ours to make dak-kochi, which is one of the most popular street foods in Korea. After assembling the chicken and scallions on skewers I broiled them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Sue from My Korean Kitchen has a nice recipe for a grilled version with two kinds of sauces that I've also made in the past. If you don't want to make your own sauce you can use a bottled marinade like P.F. Chang's Teriyaki. A great light dinner for summer.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
