Some of you have said that this is your first year trying your hand at gardening. You're hooked. You don't know it yet but you are. Once you pick that first tomatoe or cucumber or the ten zillion zuccinni those eight little plants put out you'll be hooked. So the next question is what do I do will all the stuff I get out of the garden? Here is a link that explains canning, freezing, dehydrating, jams and jellies, pickles and a whole lot more:

I made up a batch of hard tac on Friday and I'll start marinating some beef for jerky tomorrow.

I actually cook quite a bit and just about anything you want. But please don't call me chef. I prefer the French word, which is chef or even the Italian word, which is chef a lot better than the blase' English word chef.

Hard tac put in a pan of frying bacon makes a good tasteing eats :D Just make sure you have enough liquid to soften it up

I was in the family room last night crunching a piece of it and my wife asked me what I was doing. Crunch, crunch, crunch. I'm eating hard tac, I told her. She just shook her head. After nearly 35 years nothing surprises her any more.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper to a saucer of olive oil (depending on how well you like pepper).

A olive oil with choped fresh chillies dip is another thing, its beter with other cooked food but i suppose it might be nice with the bread, Spicey, nice flavour and texture

Add some crushed garlic to the peppers or chillies. Pretty tastey.
