We had a wonderful supper last night that was 80% grown in our garden. There were Chiogga beets, green beans, brussel sprouts, new potatoes, summer squash, red onion, garlic and Thai basil. Plus I picked some lettuce, baby kale and dill, but decided a salad was going to be just too much! Add to that a grilled ear of corn from the corn and tomato guy and a chicken brat (1/2) and a burger for the Mad-Accountant and you have a great and filling meal.
I made the beans, beets and potatoes plain, but sauted the brussel sprouts, onion, garlic and summer squash with some Thai basil for a simple stirfry, plus cooked and then grilled the corn. Add a bit of light sour cream, whipped butter and seasoned salt- yumo!

Here is the latest on the little cabin in the woods- the ceiling is complete. All those boards between the logs were applied, and then filled with foamy stuff and the edges are filled with chinking.

Interesting how some of us can keep our cabin up and has problems putting their coat away at home! Hmmmm.
Until next time, find your joys at home, even if they DON'T put their coat away! :)
What a gorgeous dinner!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO jealous! How do you have all of that produce already???
ReplyDeleteWhat time is dinner?
ReplyDeleteNeat, Debi! The MA is doing a wonderful job with the cabin... apparently not so much when it comes to his coat.

So I'm guessing the chicken brat wasn't homegrown...otherwise I want a cutting from your chicken brat bush! He-he!
