Meatless Monday.

Yesterday's dietary overindulgence has led to today's (and possibly several days this week) menu: Vegetable Stew. Some call it "Kitchen Sink" stew, but what it really is is the last of the fresh vegetables from my organic garden in anticipation of the killing frost that's right around the corner.

Except for the corn and garlic, everything you see pictured came from the raised beds in the back yard. The corn and garlic are from a "certified organic" farm.

The carrots and potatoes grew to amazing sizes this year. Shown are not the largest - but they're all sweet and fresh. Wishing the basil had done better this year; hoping perhaps under the grow light they'll reach for the sky.

Am mixing everything together and simmering it over a slow fire in a big enamelware pot for as long as it takes the flavors to meld together. Will use home-canned stewed tomatoes as a base.

Rest of ingredients?
