Back in the day when “cracker” was something you ate with soup or put cheese or peanut butter on, my mother used to make this salad.  I had completely forgotten about it.  Of course, there was no recipe that she left behind.  I was dicing a tomato and some scallions, and the memory of it came flooding back.  Thank goodness for food memories.

ginger root, ketchup, Mango, orange juice, Peaches, Peppers, red onion, Spices, Tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce

This isn’t exactly a chutney.  It’s really a cross between a chutney and a relish.  It’s sweet and sour.  It’s fruity, but with a hit of savory because of the Worcestershire and vinegar.  You know, it really doesn’t matter what we call it.  What matters is that it’s delicious!  Continue reading →

This is a summer salad.  Yes, it can be made anytime of the year, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in season, it’s spectacular.  It’s a nice picnic or BBQ side, too.  And as always, it’s very flexible.  But, no matter what options you choose, it’s delicious.  Continue reading →

I think I’ve mentioned a couple of times (or twenty), that The Goddess has a fondness for eggplant.  The season is in full swing now, so you might imagine that eggplant is finding it’s way into, onto, around, under, etc. her table.  She’s been hasselbacking things recently, and why should eggplant escape her vision?
