A Big Thank-you to everyone for all the Birthday Greetings!!  It is really nice to receive such warm wishes!

And Life Continues so here is the post of the day:

We have got tonnes of Malabar spinach (Basella alba) on the farm and so this means we are eating this mostly everyday!  You quickly have to learn different ways of eating it or else it can get very boring.

Here are a couple of ways in which we have been eating this green with imagination and innovation!

It is great uncooked as a salad accompaniment to home-cooked  Pan-Fried Chicken!

Easy Fried Rice with Malabar Spinach.  Simply fry the rice and towards the end of cooking (last 2 minutes) add shredded malabar spinach and mix well.

It is wonderful growing, harvesting and cooking our food here on the farm!!  And people ask us why we never go out for dinner…well, it’s because of this.
