compost composition

cherish the process...the every day beauty of composting...

february 24 2013 in key west harvesting bountiful arugulas, kales, chards, mizuna, tatsoi, dill, parsley, cilantro...the best salads for me and my friends!

everyday compost compositions

here's to being madly in love with it all

biomass galore, key west, florida

give me some space, some worms, and with this key west biomass trash, i can make gold.

that's all

its a home grown pineapple people

good lordliest sweet thing you'll ever eat


note that the 'pines' of the pineapple are formed from
spirals of successive purple flowers....! wow!

the church of the tomato sandwich

the more of them you eat, the more god loves you! yay! and if you only eat one, god loves you just as much! perfection!
This particular prayer was made on Jim Thompson's homemade bread, with a tomato from Scott Minor's garden, name unknown so we'll refer to as the 'big yellow fella', with Duke's mayo, salt and pepper. Heavenly.

more on snails....

 

 
 

I found these snail shells in my friend Randesh's massive spread of a compost pile! It is exciting think about the interrelationship of snails, decomposition, organisms, slime, pheromones, mating, and the alchemy of compost....

oh, and it also a perk when your nail polish matches the bucket a banana tree is growing in.

oh, the leaves smell so good...! note the bananas at the left....

eatting the coconut EMBRYO with Randesh

Meet Randesh, one of the great people of the Isle. This man loves coconuts and sharing the joy of them with others. I ran into him on the street and he wanted me try the EMBRYO of a coco, not merely the mature coconut flesh we all know, but the matter inside the coco when it is sprouting a new tree, the matter which sustains its growth. It is a true delicacy, a fluffy airy substance like a cross between jello and pudding, a confection of sorts. You can see it there in the bottom photo filling the center of the sphere. Around it is a thick grey oil Randesh suggests rubbing on your skin and finally an outer layer of delicate flesh. What a treat!

last tomato sandwich of the season, with bacon on the side

my favorite tomato of the the season, Kellogs Breakfast....an heirloom that grows big bulbous fruit that are super meaty and delicious, great for those who like a full coverage on their tomato sandwich. a divine flavor that is equally sweet and tangy!

true love always

okay, so I am really behind on things I want to put on this blog….but the last of the tomato sandwiches must be documented here!
