Eugenia — I grew horseradish for a couple years and then it died last year. I don’t know what happened. Like you I contained it with a buried barrier and it grew big and deep and then just failed to come up again. When I processed it I wore goggles and still had to run out of the room every few seconds for air! I didn’t know that about the leaves keeping cukes crisp — great to know. I always use grape leaves for that. Good to have another option.

From what I know of wasabi (I wrote a story about local wasabi here — http://www.portlandtribune.com/features/story.php?story_id=30987) it needs a lot of attention incl. constantly circulating water. I think I’ll continue to just buy mine thank you very much!

Lovely pictures. Now I’m hungry! I’ve never thought to grow wasabi, but horseradish grows like a weed here in the PNW; anyone can do it! The leaves make lovely bushes (and you can use them in pickling to keep cukes crisp). You really do have to contain the plants, though. A runaway horseradish once tried to eat my garden path.

Thanks Lisa! Yeah, I like to add ground or chopped nuts to pasta. I also like nicely toasted breadcrumbs because they both add bite and good toasty flavor.

Awesome products. Candied pecans are good on many things but I never thought to add them to pasta. Great idea! Everything looks delicious.

Cathy — I’m hoping to cook up some of the pancakes tomorrow morning for breakfast. Or maybe for a breakfast dinner tonight…

If I were to recommend one item for starters I’d go with the maple spiced hazelnuts. Incredible.

I’ll be on the lookout for White Pine products. I shop at Whole Foods occasionally so will ask there. Wow, that butter lettuce salad is something else. Brussel sprouts and spagetti, gotta try it.
