Green Tomato, Green Grapes, and Brown Eggs

We had four chicks born here in the spring,
and we bought four around the same time.
Looks like someone has begun to lay!
 

The grapes are ready to harvest.
Here's a pot of green grapes, ready to make juice.

 

We have red, purple, and green grapes.

And we have green tomatoes!!!

These are called Green Zebra.
I think they are interesting.
The flavor is tart, and the flesh is firm.

 

Corn Bread

We needed a starch for dinner tonight.
We've had a lot of pasta and corn, so something else would be a change.

Found this recipe for Corn Bread at eatingwell.com.

Of course, I made modifications.

My recipe:

Preheat oven and skillet to 450 degrees.

When ready, add one tablespoon Canola Oil.

Mix 1 cup flour 

and 1 cup cornmeal with

1/2 teaspoon salt and

1 teaspoon baking powder.

Mix one huge egg with 

1 1/2 cups of milk and

2 tablespoons Canola Oil.

Add liquid to dry and barely mix.

Add to frying pan and bake for 20 minutes

at 450 degrees.

Let rest at least five minutes.

We served with butter and honey.

It was delicious.

There is a slight sweetness, even though there is no sugar.

For leftovers, I sliced it and grilled it with a bit of butter.

Even better!

 

Aren't those holes wonderful?
They scream to be filled with butter, honey, jelly, or whatever.
