A Veggie Feast

I'm getting very behind with posting because I'm getting so busy at work and getting ready to go to Berlin in September and October. As a result of our trip, we won't be able to do a fall harvest in the garden. But things have been very dry and a lot of plants have withered so there may not be much to harvest come October anyway.
In effect, we had our harvest feast early. Last weekend I picked the few decent beets and carrots, the last of the green beans and a few of the heritage tomatoes. Since the beets were very small, it didn't make sense to boil them. Instead I shredded the beets and carrots into a small salad dressed with sesame seeds, lemon and a little olive oil.
The tomatoes just got the basil and salt and pepper treatment, while the beans and beet greens were steamed. Rick did a masterful job of transforming left-over rice into a beautiful spicy biryani and created his own home-made falafel balls, which included home-grown coriander seeds. We topped the falafels with plain yogurt.
It was a very colourful and delicious feast. I'm going to miss the garden.
