Ganga<p>Also, just to catch up with things I have been doing in the kitchen..... The other day I went wild with the dry grinder that I have for the vitamix. Usually I grind some flour in it when needed, but it is not often used.</p><p>However the grinding of the dried tomatoes was such a success (and I also made a gorgeous tomato salt from some of the powder, such deliciousness).</p><p>So I turned into powder:</p><p>🥕 the remainder of the vegetables that I dried last Summer (a mix of things from the garden)</p><p>🌿 a jar full of herbs from the garden, dried last summer</p><p>🍊 slices of dried orange, again from the garden and from last winter/spring. i can only do a little of this at a time as it goes clumpy from the oils in the skins.</p><p>🔴 anardana - dried pomegranate seeds. These are so hard, but the vitamix whizzed them in a second! Now beautiful fragrant anardana powder.</p><p>These will be used in all sorts of dishes, but I am also putting them in my healthy smoothies as well. They will be used up in no time.</p><p>I can't wait to dry off some nasturtium leaves (which I will pick today in one of my garden outings) and grind that up too - and make some nasturtium salts.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheGarden</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/grinding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grinding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vegetarian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cookingAU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookingAU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a></p>
