Kitchen Notes
What is Ghee
Ghee also is known as Ghrita, is a class of clarified butter that originated in India. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine. I found it at Aldi years ago and enjoy using it instead of oil or butter. It gives my saute vegetables a nice rich buttery flavor. One thing that really stood out about this product is
- Naturally sodium, gluten, and trans-fat-free
- High smoke point for high-temperature cooking
- made from grass-fed butter

Growing Soup Ingredients
I’ve been told by many people that they struggle with growing celery in their home gardens. Over the years I’ve started my celery from start plants purchased at the local garden center in early spring. The celery plant seems to most of all enjoy cooler temperatures well, in fact, they grow best in cool and moist soil in my raised garden bed. As a result of our cooler temperatures in NW Ohio and using starter plants I think my celery does well. Because I plant the celery in the raised bed (photo above) that will get late afternoon shade when summer arrives I think the harvest does well.

The ‘loaded potato’ variety from Walmart is super yummy with steak and this recipe too! You would be silly to not ‘cheat’ these days when putting together an amazing meal.
