Today is a Good Day
Another day and a new mood! I've really have no idea why I was in a bad mood yesterday but a combination of hot men therapy and a new morning made all the difference. Today it's gorgeous out, the kitties both got to go outside on their leash (Apollo escaped! And was recaptured! Yay!), the farmer's market was awesome, and Chicklet has been having a great time playing with her daddy in the backyard. Life is good today.
Food I got at the farmer's market:
Cauliflower - I'll make soup
Green Beans - toss with pasta, basil, ricotta cheese, and top with toasted walnuts
Pears - some to eat and some to make a tart (based on this one but I'm going to use a different crust
Acorn Squash and sweet potatoes - one baked and mashed with some butter and brown sugar - yum! and the other tbd - soup? salad? stew? pie? I don't know yet!
Dragon's Tongue beans - they're all pretty cream and purple! However Chicklet wasn't fond of them raw when we tried them earlier so I'll have to steam them (the color fades - woe).
Husk Cherries, Watermelon, and plums - eating out of hand
Lettuce, Baby Spinach, Cucumbers, Carrots, Bell Peppers - I've already made an awesome salad from these and I think a couple more are in my future
