Growing Cantaloupe/Muskmelon
It’s been a while since I posted. Lots of stuff going on and I was just not motivated to write. But, thwack, snap out of it! The Bible says don’t worry about tomorrow, today has enough trouble of it own. Isn’t that the truth… Back to making time to write. It’s exercise for my brain.
The flavor of a store bought melon doesn’t compare to a fully ripened home grown melon.
Did you know that what we call cantaloupe from the grocery store is actually muskmelon? Cantaloupe is actually a type of muskmelon or so some sources say. There is quite a bit of contradictory information. Cantaloupe has ribs and has less to no netting. Muskmelon is easier to grow and easier to ship. Muskmelon is what you find in the grocery store year round. Continue reading “Growing Cantaloupe/Muskmelon”

Product Review: So Delicious Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert
Updated June 2018
When you go dairy-free the food you miss the most besides cheese is ice cream. These days though so many dairy free ice creams are available, for a pretty penny.
There’s a pretty big range in taste and texture available. Frankly, they’re NOT all good. Some are just not worth the money you have to spend. Like Van Leeuwen’s brand from the NYC creamery that cost $10 a pint. Sorry, not that great, even if it was $5 a pint. Lacking.
Most of them are too ice milky. Over time we have tried a bunch of them and have come up with our favorite. Continue reading “Product Review: So Delicious Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert”
Growing Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is a tan squash with a bright orange flesh. It tastes tastes like autumn. It is sweet and nutty much like pumpkin but sweeter and less stringy. Caramelizing it brings out the sweetest, richest flavor. Caramelizing is cooking it until it has a nice golden crust on it, bring out the natural sugars and flavors. I love it roasted with garlic and onion. It also makes a wonderful winter soup.
It is a winter squash, which means it doesn’t fully mature until fall. Continue reading “Growing Butternut Squash”
