Red oak leaf lettuce in the middle. The nappa cabbage is new this week. I&#8217;ll either make an asian slaw (with carrots and cilantro) or okonomi-yaki, which is a Japanese vegetable pancake with cilantro, too, at least the recipe that I like. Dill will go with the potatoes and beans. Cuke and lettuce in a salad. We&#8217;ll see about the zukes.<\/p>\n<p>Not pictured, two baskets of strawberries that have already been made into ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cuisinart.com\/share\/images\/products\/icon\/ice-25.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cuisinart.com\/products\/ice_cream\/ice-25.html\">Cuisinart ice cream maker<\/a>. It says &#8220;fully automatic,&#8221; but it doesn&#8217;t have a compressor; I have to keep the chilling cylinder in the freezer. But I have two freezers, so that&#8217;s not really a problem, and it&#8217;s easy to make a quick batch of ice cream this way.<\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend>Strawberry Ice Cream<\/legend>\n<ul>\n<li>2 baskets strawberries<\/li>\n<li>1 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 cup half and half<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Blend all ingredients until smooth. Freeze in a 1 &frac12; quart ice-cream maker for 20 minutes. Scrape into a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional hour or so, until firm. After it&#8217;s been in the freezer for much longer, let it sit out for 10 minutes or so to soften before scooping.<br \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>You can extend this method to any fruit; just fill up the blender with fruit, add sugar and half and half, and freeze. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nAnd strawberry ice cream.
