Blog Posts of the Week I

Google Reader tells me that I have 108 blog subscriptions. If I were to check into Google Reader every day and read all the posts, there would be somewhere between 20 and 40 posts to read every day. However, I have a bad habit of not reading blogs or just reading select blogs until the number of unread posts gets around 500+. To help solve this problem, I'm starting a Blog Posts of the Week feature on my blog. I will feature the posts that were most helpful, most amusing, might be helpful someday, the recipes that sound delicious, and anything else that catches my fancy.

Bay-Friendly Garden Tour Highlights: Edible Kitchen Garden
As The Inadvertent Gardener says, this garden is brilliant and perfect! I dream of someday having a kitchen garden. This dream includes a kitchen with a door that opens out onto a patio right next to the kitchen garden. For now I am making due with my little herb garden beside the shed. It is closer to the house than my veggie garden, which is nice when making pizza sauce - you just dash out with some scissors a get a bunch of whatever you need. I also love the idea of using wooden utensils as plant markers.

Shrimp and Feta Orzo
I am not sure I would enjoy this dish, but it intrigues me. If I ever make, the recipe will probably be altered a bit. Posted by An Herbal Bedfellow.

There are a lot of blog posts being composed in my head right now. My Sis's wedding is making me a little crazy, so you may not see them for a while. In the meantime I will try to keep up with the Blog Posts of the Week.
Enjoy!
