Eating what's in season in the garden can get tricky.
You get what you get
It's easy when the lettuce, tomatoes and cukes are ready at the same time, but what about 7 zucchinis, random baby eggplants and squash, 9 ears of corn and an oversupply of tomatoes, green beans and bok choy? Be grateful and find surprising winners and compost material.
Green Beans and Salami
Check out #5 on Why Vegetable and Bacon are BFFs. Very simple. Unlike bacon, no grease sopping necessary.

Bok Choy and Bacon
#6. Works perfectly and there is nothing simpler.
Thai Corn Cakes--Ix-nay on these Akes-cay
The texture was a little to biscuit-y. Sent to compost, and replaced by far fluffier, more flexible and just-plain-tastier jalapeno corn cakes. Click here for the new improved Jalapeno Corn Cakes.
Zucchini/eggplant/white squash Parmesan--Winner!
Simplified Spaghetti Sauce II to include only fresh mushrooms, onions and spicy turkey Italian sausage. Instead of only eggplant, I used a combination of zucchini, a few baby eggplants and some white squash in the Eggplant Parmesan. This was out of necessity, but we'll have this mix again, just because.

Roasted tomato pizza--Winner (duh!)
Fresh Roasted Tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella on a Boboli whole-wheat crust. Impossible to go wrong. Kids ate the whole thing so I need to make 2 next time!
BBC(tm) [Bacon, Bok Choy, Tomato and Mozzarella] Pizza
No and not even close.
We ate it, but only so as not to go hungry that night. We love BLT sandwiches and so the the logic was this: bok choy and bacon work; bacon, tomato and mozzarella work. Therefore, Bok choy, which has similar properties as lettuce (both being green and kinda leafy), bacon tomato and mozzarella should work.
Please note that while the transitive property is absolute in mathematics, it absolutely failed in pizza application.
Eat Well = Be Well. Be Well = Eat Well. The reflexive property always works.
