The Great Spinach Switch. A Fast Easy Lighter Version Of An Old Favorite by kathy gori

Still getting whipped around by the weather here in Sonoma. We've gone from perfect warm spring weather to hail and rain, to sun lashed by cloudbursts and windy gusts. Last night my little olive tree blew over. Time to replant. This morning it's crisp,…

Quali flower pickle-Indian

Quali flower pickle-Indian by sharmila sanka

This is a typical Indian spicy pickle. Most of the ingredients will be found in the Indian Store. Quali flower pickle goes well with paratha/tortilla, curd rice or plain rice. It will remain until 10 days outside and atleast a month in the refrigerator. This can be made even without garlic.
