As a tenant it can be hard to make too many changes to the place you live and being without my green house and vegetable garden has in many ways been challenging. First of all because I have had to do without the freshly picked tomatoes and just dug up potatoes but also because of the lost joy of the actual labor that seems to soothe the mind and give birth to sound thoughts and ideas.
To compensate we built a herb garden and what a treat! The crisp flavors have enriched our meals ever since; yesterday's spaghetti squash salad tossed with chopped onion, tomatoes, olives and feta cheese was topped with freshly picked Thai basil and the Tilapia filets that I baked in the oven with chili pepper, lime rind and garlic was delightfully boosted with a handful of fresh, chopped oregano. Waiting for the sage to grow strong enough to get picked and make boneless chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella and sage, cooked in a creamy lemon sauce...
