Rain in drops and a clean garage

We're getting some rain tonight. Smells nice.

Made tomato paste this morning with san marzano, orange banana and cream sausage. Added in some brown berry and a juane flamme. Cooked down pretty well. Hadn't ever done it before--had always made sauce or soup. Now frozen for a later date. So sweet.

Also made a zingy gingery (too much.) green juice.

Redventure Celery
Shogin Turnip thinnings
Golden Streaks Mustard
White Satin Carrot
Ginger
Curled Leaf Parsley Stem
Di Cicco Broccoli Raab Stem
Large Abruzzese Tortarello Cucumber.

The white satin was sweet enough to balance all the greens -- but not the ginger. N liked it anyway.

N made a roasted tomatillo salsa. Thanks Josh and Dani!

tomato(boxcar willie)
numex anaheim chili
garlic(not sure what type. Have to be more careful in the field trials! ;)

For dinner we had wilted greens of baby spinach, bulls blood beat, and five beet chard. beneath thyme rubbed seared scallops, kochoba squash(bought), spiral pasta, and shitake. Earthy but light was what I was trying to get--sorta worked.

The tromboncino, oh my. Still going strong. We have three large trombones in the house. Still 2 more on the plant... This late with no, and I mean none, powdery mildew. Zuchetta Rampicante, just rolls right off the tongue.

Finally, brought in another muskmelon. It is sweet like it should be. The other one maybe did get the cucumber pollen.
