Sałata z młodych ziemniaków, kalafiora i zielonych szparagów z sosem jogurtowo-kurkumowo-curry

Trudno im się oprzeć! Są delikatne, jędrne i rozpływają się w ustach! Młode warzywa: ziemniaki, kalafiory, marchewki, pietruszka, kapusta, bób, burak ćwikłowy itd. Do kompletu krótkosezonowe szparagi. 

Przypominają o tym, że czas płynie szybko i trzeba się nimi cieszyć, bo za chwilę przeobrażą się w starsze wersje siebie, już mniej nieskazitelne, mniej niewinne, nieco bardziej gruboskórne, ale za to pełniejsze zdrowia i smaku.

Warto pamiętać, że większość dostępnych w sprzedaży nowalijek uprawiana jest szklarniowo z zastosowaniem nawozów azotowych. Brakuje im słońca, a ich dojrzewanie przyspiesza się umieszczając w płytkim podłożu lub jedynie w roztworach soli mineralnych (hydroponika), co zmniejsza przyswajalność wartościowych związków.

Tylko bez paniki. To nie jest tak, że nowalijki są niezdrowe. Posiadają cały przekrój witamin i minerałów, są źródłem błonnika oraz przeciwutleniaczy. Należy jednak zadbać to, by przed spożyciem dobrze je opłukać, wybierać drobniejsze sztuki, unikać przechowywania w foliowych torebkach (bo uwalniają się szkodliwe azotyny) i decydować się na warzywa z ekologicznych upraw. Z kapusty czy kalafiora można wycinać głąb, oskrobać ze skórki warzywa korzeniowe, gdyż to tam gromadzi się sporo niezdrowych substancji. 

Zanim się obejrzymy pełne wibrujących barw i soczystości nowalijki przeminą i docenimy dojrzalsze, wartościowsze pod każdym względem warzywa. To one będą nam służyły przez większość roku. Potem się pomarszczą, stracą część wody, a niektórym wyrosną pędy. Co z nimi wówczas zrobimy?

Niedawno odkryłam w wiklinowym koszu takie ziemniaki. W moim rodzinnym domu zostałyby obrane i wylądowały w zupie lub obok kotleta, w kluskach lub pyzach. Ja - patrząc na nie ze smutkiem - wrzuciłam do kubła na śmieci.

Dobrobyt nie służy naszej wrażliwości.

Składniki:

7-8 drobnych młodych ziemniaków 1/2 główki młodego kalafiora pęczek zielonych szparagów kilka gałązek kopru

Sos jogurtowo-kurkumowo-curry ok. 300 ml jogurtu naturalnego łyżeczka soku z cytryny 1/2 łyżeczki kurkumy 1/2 łyżeczki curry sól i czarny pieprz do smaku

Wykonanie:

Warzywa dobrze wypłukać. Kalafior podzielić na różyczki. Jeśli kalafior jest duży, głąb usunąć. Szparagi jeśli nie są cienkie obrać. Odciąć twarde końcówki. Główki odciąć o odłożyć na bok.

Ziemniaki ugotować w osolonej wodzie. Gdy będą miękkie, wyjąć je łyżką cedzakową na duży talerz. Do tej samej, gotującej się wody wsypać łyżeczkę cukru i włożyć szparagi. Gotować dwie, trzy minuty. W ostatniej minucie dorzucić główki. Szparagi powinny pozostać jędrne. Odcedzić.

Mniej więcej w tym samym czasie, gdy będą się gotowały szparagi, do niedużego garnka włożyć sitko do parowania, wlać wodę poniżej poziomu sitka i wsypać różyczki kalafiora. Przykryć pokrywką i gotować ok. trzy minuty. Warzywa wyjąć z garnka.

Ziemniaki pokroić na talarki, szparagi na 3,5-cm kawałki, a koper drobno posiekać.

Jogurt połączyć z sokiem z cytryny i przyprawami. Dosmakować solą i pieprzem. Przelać do sosjerki.

Na talerze wykładać warzywa, obsypać koprem oraz świeżo zmielonym pieprzem, z boku wlewać po kilka łyżek sosu. Podawać.

I wish there were more restaurants with affordable prix fixe or tasting menus. I would love for nice but not ridiculously fancy restaurants to basically say "here is what we're sure is good today, you can eat that or maybe one or two other things. Otherwise come back in 2-3 days and see if that's more interesting."

#I just want (a) cooks and chefs to get creative or think outside of the box; (b) menus that reflect changing seasons #I want you to have a seasonal menu! foods are better at different times of the year! #I would love restaurants to serve root vegetables and stews in the winter and then spring greens in the early summer #really lean into pickling and preserving; meats from animals in different developmental stages #obviously the fact that we can get access to so many different foods out of season is an incredible gift #(it involves labor and more bodies at work than I can contemplate without going mad) #but still. I think we should be occasionally reminded that chicagoans should not be able to eat bananas in february. #...........and (c) I want someone who isn't me to do all this. #no love sincerer than the love of food

question: how does the "...losing several of our men, by the way" "mm kinda their job. they're pirates" exchange & Ed's face to Izzy being an angry little due and resigning, translates to izzy was manipulating Ed and he always had the upper hand? cause to me they seem like that old married couple, with the wife complaining about how she does everything around the house & takes care of the kids and the husband doesn't seem to give a fuck, right until she says she's leaving him

#izzy hands #edizzy #I am genuinely asking #ed just seems to be the fun dad that takes his kids on trips! and to the cinema and has parties on a school night!!!! #and izzy is the mom that tells them to study to eat their vegetables and come home early! #and then slowly the kids realize that maybe fun dad isn't what they need #and...that's even before the whole situation during kraken era #which is another much darker territory #myedizzy

I love long, meadow-y grass so I don't mow my lawn. (Except the strip by the sidewalk, which is part of the public right-of-way.)

Today I discovered a ground nesting bird (a dark eyed junco) has built a nest on my yard, hidden by the long grass! Several little eggs in it.

#birds #dark eyed junco #even leaving a small portion of your yard unmowed will increase biodiversity #in the spring the early insects shelter in the long grass #in the summer the grass lays flat sheltering its roots and keeping them damp #in the fall the seeds develop on unmown grass #which the little birds eat #in the winter the old vegetation shelters plants and creatures from the cold #and the older vegetation biodegrades and renews the soil

sometimes dinner NEEDS to be a carton of plain mushrooms, butter, and shallots ....

#impromptu anxiety attack at work sent me home early and it snowballed from there 😭 #so my last 4 hours of the day have been miserable #except of course when my gf called me and made me laugh and feel so much better #but my ass was so overstimulated at work and on the drive home that i had to take a gymmy eat a comfort food and vegetate

gonna become the captain of the ‘deancas ranch universe’ because it’s so Them to retire to a ranch with gardens and bees and horses and cowboy boots and lassos and cattle and dean gets to be a cowboy and cas gets to have land to tend and it’s perfect for them

#dcru #deancas ranch universe #let them be ranchers #let dean have horses and cows #cas has bees and little gardens #they get up early and take horse rides together #dean cleans the stalls while cas grows herbs and vegetables for them to cook with #it’s this little slice of heaven #destiel #dean winchester #castiel #spn #supernatural #deancas

IT BEGINS

never started this early before, this will force me to work on the garden so I have somewhere to transplant these guys when it's time

Onions, spinach, broccoli raab for now, I'm really trying to simplify the number of varieties I'm growing simultaneously. Aside from peppers and tomatoes, I think I'll stick to one variety each (for now).

Now that I've plotted out what I have left in my seed box, I can get a cart of the things I'm missing. The only things I can think of at the moment are Broccolini and decorative pumpkins, but I'm sure the seed catalogs will entice me into getting more.

A dumb lil headcanon I have is that Yamato was assigned Naruto’s legal guardian in shippuden. (And that before it was Hiruizen, then Kakashi, then Jiraiya) just for convenience because he’s watching over Naruto all the time anyways.

oh god. sorry my response got really long but the fact is anyone even breathes a word of yamato being fatherly to naruto and i lose my shit and start beating my fist against the earth sobbing and shaking and etc.

now TO BE FAIR. i think if anyone should be naruto's legal guardian it should probably be iruka because iruka was the one who took care of naruto when naruto needed it most, and canonically naruto thinks of iruka as a father figure so much that he like, asks him to act as his father at his wedding, and he has this whole moment as a kid

THAT SAID. i like ur ask, and when it comes to the idea of legal responsibilities, i find the idea of Yamato being granted (even temporary) guardianship over Naruto to be extremely funny and entertaining.

i think yamato would personally take a lot of pride in that and really enjoy it. i think he would love nothing more than to have a practical, obligatory tie to enable him in his desire to take care of the people he loves. i also think that he would be obnoxious about it, at least a little bit. partially because his sense of humor is a little weird, and partially because he has no idea how to act as a guardian figure.

like i think he'd say shit like "bedtime! that's an order!" and naruto would be like "oh, piss off!" and then yamato would use his scary face and naruto would get even more frustrated, and the whole time yamato would be like "wow, naruto is a great kid (if a little disobedient!) and this is such a fun game we are playing, even if it tires me out :)"

unfortunately i think, out of all the guardian/mentor figures that naruto has had, (sandaime, iruka, kakashi, jiraiya, tsunade, those elderly frogs, yamato...) i think yamato is the one he is least close with, and would least like to be a permanent fixture in his life.

i'm not saying that he doesn't like yamato, just that...i would be really surprised if there's a point after yamato gets captured, where naruto is like "man, we should really save yamato!" y'know?

i could be wrong! i haven't gotten there yet. but like. i'm not anticipating it. thats okay tho i love naruto and hes got a lot going on.

picture below is more related to the tags than the text

#yamswers #agstudio9 #sorry for SUCH a long response but i am constantly thinking about them bc yamato seems to care so much abt his stepstudent #that said. the idea of a story where yamato gets put in charge of naruto PURELY bc he has the mokuton + naruto has the 9tails #and naruto confuses and entertains tenzō #and tenzō upsets and frustrates and unnerves naruto #is an EXTREMELY funny concept to me. #especially if it happens before the shippuden timeline. now. listen. im being very silly here...but hear me out #imagine your name is [actually you don't have a name] and your ninja president tells you its time to be a ninja guardian to this ninja kid #and the kid is freaked out by you because you're impossible for him to get a read on and you scare him sometimes #and on top of that your former captain is laughing at you and the young man who was taking care of this kid is pissed and maybe jealous? #like it has all the makings of one of those wacky early 2000s movies about fail dads and their rebelious children #''THIS SUMMER...WATCH AN OUT OF TOUCH BLACK OPS SOLDIER TRY TO RAISE...KONOHAS DEMON FOX????'' #now in theatres! #oh agstudio9. now im thinking on this. now im really dwelling on it. #iruka being over all the time bc he does not like the way this is shaping out and feels frustrated that naruto's guardian was assigned— #—not based on care or relationship to the boy. but on kekkei-genkai. but trying not to take it out on tenzō whose just Doing His Job #tenzō who has to learn how to make food more complex than vegetables in a pan/reheated frozens/Survival Gruel #ah. and. and maybe kakashi + tenzō dual-leading team 7 from the get-go... :) bc sasuke needs a sharingan-using teacher :)

The roots of civilization supposedly lie in the transition from hunters and gatherers to farming life. But research shows the farming life wasn’t as easy as the nomadic lifestyle. So why the change? This researcher believes we need to look elsewhere to find the real roots of civilization.

an oc interaction based on prev

#if youre wondering about the other members #jules was asleep and regretted not being able to suggest “garlic bread” #luna cierra and tora were having vegetable sandwiches at a nice café #and when they opened their phones to check on their friends...they were horrifed to return to that cursed interaction #sean was fully aware of the conversation as early as the first message #but as soon as taylor replied he knew where this whole interaction was headed. he promptly deleted the app. #oc stuff
