all by myself

ojp looks up, "dad?!  i'm here!  is it time to eat?!" so, not completely by myself.

chopsticks is working tonight and the storms are rolling in.  no grilling here.  and, after having lost 15 minutes to one of those "i had no idea i was tired" naps, i'm in the mood for something a little lighter.  

the menu (15june10):

• pesto tuna salad, served open-faced on spelt bread with tomato, cucumber and mixed greens

open-faced pesto tuna on spelt

the perfect storm

i'm hungry.  chopsticks is cranky.  it's like the perfect storm.


thankfully, it's saturday morning which allows us to get out to the the western wake farmers market.  produce, cheery local vendors and samples.  inspiration and food cures crankiness and hunger.  perfect storm averted by a great local event


had the opportunity to meet paige from great harvest bread company.  after sampling (cinnamon roll for chopsticks, spelt bread for me), we ended up with a loaf of the spelt bread (had never heard of it or had it before, but, wow, is it good... i can't stop eating it).


only drawback was not brining the camera to show off some of the sites, including the massive zucchini (chopsticks mind wanders "imagine the amount of fries we could make with that thing")


update (14jun10, 11:02am):  i strongly suggest trying the spelt bread with a bit of the lilly's maple butter if you get a chance.  great combo.  i've also added a link to wikipedia for more detail on spelt
