Goin' South

I'm packing my bags (and a cooler to hold produce and homemade yogurt) and heading down to the hubby's estate after work tonight.

The produce was limited to a gallon bag of Cilantro and 1 asparagus spear.  One of the chickens has found a skinny area in the fence where she can just squeeze though.  Once on the other side - she heads right for the Swiss Chard and Collard Greens.  Ugh. 





The Pluot tree is blooming.  Marcel and I planted a Methley Plum to pollinate it, but that won't happen this year.  


Over the weekend I made Pork Adobo (my way - with orange peel and mirin in the marinade also) and Li Hing Mui Chicken (I have a bottle of Li Hung Mui powder that I mix with rice flower and I dredge the chicken in the mixture and fry it - it's good!).  I freeze the chicken and use a little at a time in friend rice or a couple of ounces in a meal.

How do you make homemade yogurt?

You can grow asparagus? Wow! I had no idea it would grow down here. Does it tolerate humidity well?

Yogurt.. mmmmm. yummy

Chickens can be so destructive when they get out. I hope you get time to block off that hole soon. That asparagus spear looks delish! As do your food pics :) Have a happy time at your hubby's :)

I ♥ cilantro!

Is it pretty easy to grow? Do you think it would grow in a container?
