It's November
The garden is done. We did cover one of the raised beds with plastic, making an impromptu greenhouse. Lettuces and swiss chard are coming up. One of the harvested celery plants was moved to the greenhouse bed. We'll see if it takes! Dahlias and a few tomato plants are hanging on though the temps at night have dipped into the 30s. Herbs have been dug up and transferred to teacups for the kitchen window. From the kitchen counter we're still enjoying a few lovely heirloom and big girl tomatoes.

February Eats
In the mood to munch, made a light bean, spinach and artichoke dip. This modified recipe to includes 3/4 C light cottage cheese as a filler, grated frozen lemon for the fresh lemon juice and just a bit of grated parmesan on top; for the white beans, I used white kidney beans.

For dessert, I made date bars. However, since the dates were chopped, and very dry chunks, I combined them with the required oil and an applesauce pak - heated for a minute in the microwave and then allowed to sit until the dates plumped, about an hour. The bars turned out moist and delicious - required a companion glass of milk. Possible variation - addition of 1/2 C of mini chocolate chips - next time! Here is the recipe: Date Walnut Bars
