Once again, the food is to die for. If you love portobello mushrooms as much as I do, you’d better check out Simply Forties’s mouth-watering tomato broth with portobellos and spinach over gnocchi…good grief! By way of gilding the lily, she also explains how to make gnocchi. I went over to see Stephanie’s post on coffee liqueur, and by golly, what should come up but the very thing my mother used to make. It’s a lot cheaper than Kahlua and it tastes the same…or better! As a bonus, Stephanie also tells the story of how the MIfS Carnival came into being. Speaking of hoots and my mother (who crocheted like a wizard), My Recycled Bags is at it again, with a pattern for a great green shopping bag. I have got to relearn how to crochet! Funny’s contribution to this edition was the recipes for black-eyed peas and cornbread. [...] [...] This week’s Make It from Scratch Carnival appears at The Daily Dish.

Unlike you, I like the dried beans. I am lucky enough to have an overabundance of greens in my garden now. I just cooked these too. Unlike you, I like the dried beans.

But the Safeway carries them frozen. They're in the frozen food case, along with (!!) collard greens. I haven't seen these items until the past couple of years. It may be that Safeway is responding to our area's changing demographics, which are beginning to lean toward more African-Americans. WhatEVER...having access to these goodies redounds to everyone's benefit. Around here, it’s really rare to find them fresh. But the Safeway carries them frozen.

Did you? I love fresh ones, when I can get them, which isn't often. I had my black-eyed peas today. Did you? I love fresh ones, when I can get them, which isn’t often.
