zucchini and chard stems saute- then throw in greens
I broke up and discarded a 4' kitchen base cabinet and counter this morning. With the new pantry shelves and such I can enjoy more room in the kitchen. I also moved my mini fridge into the new fridge recess and made even more room in the kitchen. I am in no rush to buy a real fridge yet, but maybe one day. I enjoy low electricity use and rarely need more fridge space. My July electricity use was only 201 kilowatt hours($31.10 + some taxes)- and this house is all electric.

chard bed keeps me in fresh greens
The chard is still producing fine and I have some about every evening. I put some olive oil in a pan and put in the stems to cook first. Tonight I also added zucchini. After that cooks covered for a while I then throw in the cut up greens that basically steam cook in a few minutes. It turns out very good and Petra even likes a share.
