Last week I planted some vegetables seeds in pots on the veranda. They are sprouting now. I look forward to having fresh, home grown lettuce, onions, and broccoli in the coming weeks and months. If I don't kill them.
Today I did some cooking for a picnic tomorrow. I made a farro salad with soy beans, bits of vegetable, and a citrus dressing. That was also part of our dinner tonight. I also baked brownies and Castagnaccio, an old Italian sweet made of chestnut flour. They are flat little bars that are dense and moist underneath and slightly chewy/crusty on top. They are odd and I can't decide if I like them. The recipe is vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free, too. In addition to chestnut flour, then contain water, pinenuts and rosemary. And that's all. Peasant food, for sure.
