A side dish today! Stir-fry Pineapple with Ginger and Red Chilies.

Being pressed for time to post an entree, I chose to do a side dish. It is easy to do and tastes great. The next time that I make it, I will increase the amount of red chilies and the amount of ginger. I love the taste of ginger with pineapple. This recipe will be a staple for me.

The weather here in the Northeast shows some promise for typical summer weather. We have been inundated with cold stormy weather, but today it will probably get up into the high 80's.

This is the time of year that my fierce agricultural bent hits me hard. I want to plant every flower and vegetable known to man. Space being limited, I finally come down to earth (no pun here).
