Bitter melon at the market. No idea what to do with it. The girl at
the stall said her mother boiled it with chicken.

So, some frozen chicken legs into the crock with a sliced bitter
melon. Some water, a splash of lemon juice, onion, garlic, one super
hot pepper. Probably a pear. Held off on the mint and ginger that
seemed might to be appropriate

After an hour or so on high, yow! way too much flavor. Added a sliced
long green eggplant thing, a big handfull of last week's frozen
"chineese spinach", half a pot of left-over rice.

Still a little pointy, needs some fine-tuning in the middle flavours,
but just now finished off the pot for breakfast. I think I'll keep
her.


And, while I was making pie, that NPR Magnificent Kitchen woman was on
the radio talking about green tomato/apple pie. So, of course I did
it. Dad liked it, twice, but he's not a picky eater. I haven't
tasted it yet, but frost is coming, gotta do something with the late
greens
