Phyllis says: Tonight we cooked this after scrounging our food stocks. We used slices of polenta and a little hot pepper. We were out of basil and garlic but it turned out quite tasty nonetheless. Next problem: I'm out of olive oil!
Good enough to eat
Phyllis followed up to say her neighbors had dropped off chicken, veggies, and olive oil (I'm thinking of all the meals she'll be making with those raw materials). Here's a snap of the recipe.
Brother Chris is a master of the home arts. So is his son, who I think heads up their basement brewery team. Yes, they make (good) beer.
Chris says: We made a stout about three weeks ago and we always save a few cups of the spent grains for making bread or muffins. A wonderful client gave me some of her 30-year-old sourdough starter...

Soften some butter and let me in there! Thanks for the tasty submissions, Chris and Phyllis. We have many more to come. Tomorrow we'll look west to Arizona, where a friend is making something with fruiting cactus, which are everywhere.
