"Has been to hot to cook much while doing this course. Borrowed a rice cooker. Potatoes 3 ways. Excellent. Like the balsamic, and the pepper version. Will try with tomatillos, out of curiosity. Loving the green of salsa verde as every lawn and tree is turning brown ; ((
The whole experience has been a gift to me, helping me heal. Wish I could doing the actual cooking more.
Thanks for the great work, site and recipes that have me drooling and waiting for cool weather."
