Productive Results

I know you have all been waiting with baited breath to hear how we enjoyed the produce from the Farmer's Market. I apologize for leaving you in suspense for so long! We have eaten almost everything now, and here's how it went:

The beets were interesting. It was very... educational... to make them. They turned out to be yellow beets, and were sure good to look at. We decided though, that beets are tricky to eat. The first bite is kinda like "Wow! That's something!", but by the third or fourth bite, you're kinda "something'd" out. Powerfull flavors can be a bit overwhelming. But, we're glad we tried them.

That same night, I made a tomato salad with the tomatoes and yellow pepper. It was deeeeeeelicious.
So here's a picture of a half-eaten dinner- pork chops, beets, & tomato salad.

A night or two later I made fajitas and topped them with guacamole from the Market Avocado. We also were adventurous this night because the fajita meat came from our local hispanic market- all prepared and ready to go. It was amazing. Here is Greg, singing to his fajita.
Here's a shot of some of the squash cooked up for another dinner. We gave some to Addie and to Grant, who we had with us for dinner, and they both liked it! Now that's good squash!





There are no pictures for the rest of this report, but here's what else we did:
-we sliced the nectarines and served them with pound cake and vanilla ice crem for a dessert with the Kropfs.
-the peaches never made it to a pie because we were so excited to eat them we couldn't wait. They were a great snack.
-and the apple was added to a salad with walnuts, bleu cheese, and a great poppyseed dressing.

Hope you all have enjoyed the eating adventures of the Spanglers!
