PLANS FOR THE POTAGER

                                                         Bibimbop


This popular Korean dish above is easy to make and one I whip up when family or friends visit.  Guests are given a bowl filled with either noodles or rice and after selecting the meat/veggies, it is drizzled with sesame oil and a dab of hot sauce.  Tasty and healthy at the same time.  If you'd like the recipe try Bobby Flay's vesion : http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/boy-meets-grill/bibimbap-recipe/index.html

I cook Asian dishes frequently and so this season I am dedicating one section of my potager to vegetables such as Bok Choy, which is a tasty spinach-like vegetable with crunchy, sweet stems, Spacemaster cucumber, a very compact, bushy plant for small gardens, Chinese broccoli, a.k.a. kale, a fast growing, small plant with incredible flavor and leaf lettuce.  I will add other staples such as green onions, chives and garlic as well.

Meanwhile I still have ample time to devise ways to keep those waskily wabbits out of my vegetable patch.
