We're digging the Bok Choi!

It's our first year growing BokChoi, and it's going great! We harvested tons of it today. Belle is doing a freezing bok choi test today. She's going to blanch, freeze and then thaw some leaves to see how they do.

If they freeze well she'll chop and freeze the rest for stir fry.

If the freeze not so well she'll chop and freeze the rest for soup.

If they freeze terribly she'll blend and freeze the rest for smoothies.

It's a win, win, win situation.

Oh and yes, we're going to thoroughly enjoy as many fresh dishes as we possibly can. I know you would too!

    It looks beautiful. Though I have never gotten into those green smoothies.

    Thanks Daphne, we're not into "green" smoothies either. We mask the vegetable ingredients with berries, bananas, peaches... whatever sweet fruit we can find!

    I just enjoyed my first bok choi of the season. It was cut up and used in stir fry. Keep us updated on the freezing experiment.
