june 27, 2012 dinner

sitting on the grass in the sun, taking in jake shimabukuro and leo kottke at the zoo. say, this calls for a picnic! there was a big group of us, and we all contributed to the spread. i grazed on salami, olives, pickled hot peppers, strawberries, rainier cherries, almonds and baba ghanouj, with bell pepper and carrot for dipping. i also broke out the leftover kohlrabi, beet and walnut salad.

watching the swallows overhead darting after insects, to a ukulele soundtrack - a perfect summer evening!

june 27, 2012 breakfast

wednesday breakfast is a slice of green eggs and turkey frittata, crammed to the gills with various veggies, as well as some leftover kohlrabi and beet salad (dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro and walnuts). the salad sounds and looks a little weird, but it totally rocks my socks! maybe i'll pack some for our zoo concert picnic tonight..

june 25, 2012 dinner

dinner is roasted lamb, served up rare. in the background is a mash of parsnips, turnips, onions and olive oil.

also, this was an interesting experiment - roasted beets and raw kohlrabi, tossed with lemon juice, olive oil and cilantro. the texture was a strange mix, but it was a refreshing and light dish to complement the richer flavors above.
