Well I turn my back for a minute and we are into the food again ha ha ha I love the chayote ( mine is a very good white smooth type ) I cook 2'' chunks of it in baked vegs (you know with your other baked vegs ) or lightly tossed in good extra virgin olive oil and roasted with unpeeled garlic cloves and sprigs of rosemary ...plenty of pepper and salt ...cook for about 30/40 mins until tender remove from oven ...sprinkle with a little balsamic vinegar and put back in the oven for another 10 mins ...the balsamic vinegar caramelizes the surface of the choko and it is just delicious. You get hundreds off a vine and you can pickle,boil,
curry and bake them, they take up the flavour of whatever you cook them with.
I have been very busy today with errands for hubby but I confess to watching two movies ...one last night that I just could not resist
Moonstruck (love it) and tonight I could not resist Fried Green Tomatoes ( by the way I think chockos par boiled first and dried then cooked in a similar fashion would be most acceptable) Both of these movies are great favourites of mine :)
Oh the salvias are just lovely ...aren't salvias great plants? I just love them and the edible one is very pretty when in flower as well as delicious to eat!
I did not have time to take pictures today let me see what I can find
Sorry if you have seen it before ...I can't remember
