I’d like to thank all the participants of last month’s “Grow Your Own” roundup for making it such a successful event. 60+ participants is a huge number, for any kind of roundup! This proves that such a little thing as Winter can’t stop many of you from cooking with homegrown or foraged ingredients. And for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, you are just now getting to the peak of your Summer harvest season.
So I’m sure that you are making even more dishes using homegrown ingredients. When you post about these dishes, be sure to enter your post in our next roundup! The rules are simple: Continue reading Announcing: “Grow Your Own” #39→
This may be the highest number of participants in “Grow Your Own” history!
This edition of GYO features 61 different dishes from 8 different countries.

Why grow your own? Because it saves money and makes for better tasting food!
I am in awe of the variety of great food that’s being made in what is Winter for a majority of food bloggers out there. I’m also very thankful for the participants from Australia for showing off their homegrown produce. Check out the entire roundup below. Entries are posted in the order they were received.

Living here in Malaysia, we don’t get to watch much American football anymore. Truthfully, I haven’t been that big a fan of professional football to begin with. Like Annie, the only reason to watch the SuperBowl was for the ads, and for the SuperBowl get-togethers. I mean, where else are you going to find so many great hors d’oeuvres?
It smells like a burning tire but tastes like the sweetest custard apple.
We are really happy to be living here in Sarawak. Time and again, the kindness and the generosity of the people here simply blow us away. Last month, when we invited our friend Paul and his family over for a big, home-cooked Japanese meal of miso soup, niku-jaga, kabocha no nimono, and sesame salad with chicken, they brought over a couple of these unique fruits called “buah tarap” to eat for dessert.
