The sliced potatoes frying in the skillet looked in need of some fresh chive. I quickly slipped outside to the edge of the garden and cut some of the green beauty that was blowing in the strong Indiana wind.
After a quick rinse and a few chops of the knife, the chives were tossed into the skillet to join the potatoes! It made for a delicious side dish at dinner last evening.
“Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.”
—Proverbs 15:16-17
Lovely pictures! I love it when simple things can be beautiful.:)
Thank you for the reminder and verse.
Beautiful! Simply Beautiful!
I absolutely love your pictures! you are so talented. :) What camera do you use?
P.S. I love potatoes and that picture is so tempting. :D
Beautiful pictures. Always enjoy your blog. Could not believe your chives! Where do you live in Indiana? I live near Notre Dame and our chives are up but not even one bud on them yet. We actually had sleet one day last week. :+) I love to gather a bunch (aprox 1 ” worth) of chives, rinse, let dry on hand towel, then secure both ends with rubberbands. Next I put handi wrap around them and freeze the bundles in a lag zip lock bag. When I want some I simply push rubber band down to where I want to stop cutting and slice through the bundle (still frozen) about 1/8th inch slices. I reroll in handi-wrap the remainder of the chive log and return to freezer.
Lainie, thank you! I use the Nikon D7000 camera body, paired with the Nikkor 28mm f/1.8 and Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lenses.
Nummy! Ahhh … that sounds soo good! I’ll have to experiment with that for sure :) Did you put garlic or any other kind of spice/herb in there? Mmmm….
Mmm! Looks so delicious…
Love the colors in the top picture!
Will you be returning to Six Angles soon?
This looks wonderful! I have chives in my herb garden and new potatoes in thr fridge. I may have to work this into tomorrow’s menu.
Rachel, this time around it was just potatoes fried in coconut oil with onion and chive. But garlic is always a great addition!
Your blog is so beautiful. The pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
