Grilled Chicken Kebabs

I have been known to get, shall we say, creative with salad (and pasta and risotto and…).

Why not?

Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t.

When it doesn’t I quietly decide not to do it again.

When it works I post it here.

Easy peasy.

Maybe I watch too much Chopped (is that still on?)

This is the last lettuce salad of the season – I think. There could be one more hiding in the camera. There was a rush to get the lettuce finished before the 40C (104F) temps wiped it all out.

I’m still waiting to see if the rest of the potager recovers. I think in my zeal to save it from the extreme heat I may have over-watered.

It just looked so pathetic with all the leaves wilting. And because they were wilting they weren’t shading the dirt to keep the water from evaporating.

So I watered… heavily.

Now the leaves are all turning yellow.

I don’t know how farmers do this for a living. The stress of my little vegetable patch is overwhelming.

Of course they may know what they’re doing….
