Mid-Summer Bliss straight from the dirt. Grown & harvested with hard work & care by the hands of many! Working on the field crew this season has been absolutely life-changing.
Gonna wash and disinfect these compostable pots and get them ready for the 2020 season. These pots will hold tomatoes and peppers and we will start our seedlings in the next four days (January 15-18). Our planting zone here in Atlanta is a rapidly rising zone 8a. What are you planting now?

Wrapped Salmon Packets from ‘Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi’
With as many food mangas as there are these days, sometimes it can be hard to pick a favorite. Still, TSdIHM manages to be right up there at the top. Not only does it have some wonderful cooking scenes, it also has fantasy, magic, adventure, and a giant wolf! What more can you ask for? Anyway, here’s or take on one of the dishes from chapter 10 - wrapped salmon packets!
- MJ & K
Ingredients:
(Makes 4 servings)
8 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided use
4 large salmon fillets
Salt and Pepper
1 large onion, chopped into strips
Mushrooms (Enoki, button, or shiitake), cleaned and halved
8 Tbsp soy sauce
4 Tbsp Mirin
4 Tbsp sake
Vinegar (optional)
Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Asparagus (optional)
Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Begin by creating four foil boats to hold the ingredients. Tear off four pieces of 24x12 inch foil and fold them in half to make a square. Use the bottom of a metal bowl to shape the foil into a pouch.
Put 1 Tbsp of soft butter into the bottom of each pouch and spread it around a little. Season each side of the salmon with salt and pepper and lay one into each packet on top of the butter. Top with the chopped onions and mushrooms. If you are using cherry tomatoes, add those in as well. The asparagus should be lightly boiled before being put into the packets, to ensure that it cooks completely. Mix together the soy sauce, mirin, and sake and pour equal amounts over the ingredients in each packet, topping with one additional tablespoon of butter.
Close the foil packets and roll the top to ensure that no liquid escapes. Transfer the packets to the rimmed cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Open the packets, top with a small splash of vinegar, and serve with a wedge of lemon, or pour the entire contents over fresh rice. Enjoy!
