spoon and chopsticks tackle dinner

it started with "you have plans for the corn?"  reluctantly, i answered "no." 

having the two of us in the kitchen attempting to cook a meal usually ends in disaster.  however, we were going to give it a go.  chopsticks was excited about her use for the corn.  i just needed to add something else.

menu (14aug10):

• corn chowder, topped with crab and scallions
• crab imperial
• quinoa stuffed poblanos

tuns out, we could survive cooking together.  

  

vegetarian fed

we've been called vegetarians by more people than i can count because we watch what we eat.  but, we certainly eat our fair share of meat.  but, with eating a little healthier and loving food, i am constantly researching anything food related.  recently i ran across the growing trend of "meatless monday."  chopsticks and i had discussed it a few times, trying to incorporate more vegetarian type meals in the house, maybe even once a week.

so, it wasn't monday.  and, while i'm aware that the eggs were not necessarily vegetarian (they were vegetarian fed, free range though!), i did owe chopsticks them from her birthday.  

menu (13aug10):

• grilled portabello, topped with tomatoes, spinach and provolone
• used my bruschetta topping as a base
• deviled eggs
• grilled summer squash

week 17: spicy sweet dill pickles? of course!

after the track record of devouring lee's jarred produce (pickled squash and salsa), the mention of another offering, the "spicy sweet dill pickles made with lee's cucumbers," it was an easy decision.  that is, other than the pickles being offered in two different boxes.


decided to go sans grapes, however, and chose box "c."
