I have never tried the pineapple in it before! The rest is about the same as what I make, which is good but always seemed to be missing something that kept it from being really good. I'll let you know how I like it!

So far I have lots of zuke and squash, and green beans, but I'm really excited about tasting my first ripe tomatoe! I'm starting to see signs of some turning color, but no luck yet.

I haven't made any bread before,mainly 'cause baking seems to be difficult for me,but today I made my first attempt to bake rye-bread,
now I'm waiting it to rise enough,then it's baking it.
got some good advice,but....
it should be simple enough,while the ingredients are rye-flour,water,salt and some yeast and that's it and I made the "root" for it

 

[jimLE]

good luck with it

 

[jontte]

soon,very very soon it's ready,then a slice or two with butter on and tea or coffee....dear lord I'm nervous

 

[jontte]

little bit too much flour,better next time,this is something I will master someday..

 

[jimLE]

well at least you know your mistake..and hopefully it'll be better next time

I just re read this thread and can't wait to make some this year! I have yellow squash ready to grill tomorrow, but the zucchini isn't quite ready. Another week or so. I've been eating salads every day for quite a while now, with spinache, onions carrots beets, lettuce radishes and just started getting sweet peas (one of my favorite things). Just like last year, I'm still waiting for that first tomato, blooms, but no tomatoes yet!
