Today was less hot, but you wouldn't know it from my kitchen.

Bagels!
This was my first time making them and man did the kneading give me a workout.  It is high gluten dough and it needs 10 solid minutes of kneading.  I was dripping sweat by the end.  Also I am not very good at making them shaped like bagels.

Ready to bake


All done!

Dinner!

Swai with lemon and dill, purslane with garlic and gruyere cheese and rice.



Turns out Steve likes purslane which is awesome because he is not fond of most vegetables.

Redball:
Where do you get the swai? And the purslane? The wikipedia entry for purslane makes it look quite nutritious, and interesting that it has a different taste depending on what part of the day it's harvested.

You can pickle just about anything! Last year we made carrot sweet pickles, and some awesome summer squash sweet pickles - the summer squash ones were my favorite out of the bunch.

Papersatan:
I got the swai at Kroger.  The best thing about Swai is it is cheap.  That filet was a dollar. 

The puslane I got at Eastern Market, though the market in Ypsi has it too.  I had never seen it for sale in New York, but I used to eat it out of the yard when I was little since it grows as a weed.  I always ate young purslane as a salad green, these last two meals are my first experience cooking it and I think I will be buying it all summer.
