broccoli, chives, frittata, postaday2013, potatoes, wild strawberries

I was outside today taking care of the pool and the water situation and for some unknown reason I felt compelled to check to see if I had any wild strawberries growing and lo and behold, this is so exciting, I had at least three wild strawberries growing. It doesn’t take much to get me excited about nature. I’m even allergic to strawberries, but it doesn’t matter, I have organic strawberries growing in my garden around the pool. How good is that?

After I was done with the pool and my picture taking, I decided to make a potato, chive and garlic frittata. I think that frittata has become one of my favorite things to make, it is so easy and so delicious with minimal ingredients. I diced up four medium potatoes and sautéed them until they were golden and took them out of the pan and onto a paper towel. I preheated the oven to 350 and minced garlic which got thrown into an oven proof pan with olive oil. While that was on the heat, I cracked and whisked seven eggs together , added salt and pepper and threw them into the pan with the garlic. I added sliced chives that I got from my garden and then I added the sautéed potatoes. When the eggs were set on the bottom, I put the pan in the oven for about five minutes and I inverted the frittata onto a plate.

I made broccoli for myself, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, salt and pepper. I love broccoli, it’s filling and delicious.

blogging, forbidden, postaday2013, writing

Tell us about a thing you’ll never write about.

I don’t think that I would ever write about personal problems that affect the lives of my family and friends. Their issues, even if I’m personally touched by them, isn’t mine to write about whatsoever. Personal privacy and responsibility are very important and trust is an intrinsic part of that as well and to violate a friend’s trust or a family member’s trust by sharing their issues with the world even if you write about them anonymously is horrible.

I also wouldn’t write about things that I don’t know about because why share my ignorance with the world? Isn’t there enough ignorance out there without me adding willy nilly to it all. I prefer to keep my blog simple; pictures of my plants, answers to random prompts, my personal opinions and anything about food, glorious food.
