Apple
June 21, 2010.
After being abandoned for years and pruned and fertilized these past 2-3 years, the two apple trees in the front yards finally bear fruits and they are loaded. They are cooking type of apple, too sour to be eaten raw. Squirrels love them so we have to race against them. They made good apple pie and apple tarts.

Coriander Seeds
June 8, 2010.
We're behind on getting rid of the coriander plants' flower buds, so then they flower and made seeds and went dry. I collected the dried seeds, roast them on a pan (without oil) and then ground them in a pestle and mortar to make roast coriander powder for cooking. It was perfect!
