Weekend Food Recap
This weekend being a holiday meant large quantities of food shopping. Add to that, the fact that my mom came to visit, so it was an extra-special food extravaganza.

Sunday Supper
We had a delicious dinner tonight, courtesy of E’s fantastic cooking skills, the Falls Church Farmer’s Market, and our little garden. Sweet potato bisque (Trader Joe’s), fabulous goat cheese pierogies from… [Crap! I can't remember the name of the farm.] with onions and a mushroom mix, and cucumbers with red and yellow grape tomatoes.
The dressing for our cucumbers and tomato salad was made, in part, with herbs from our garden, which is very exciting for me. I love being able to use things from our garden. I can’t wait until the tomatoes are ready to eat!
Food Surfing
Seen today on Food Network:
Pomegranate Margaritas. I wish I liked margaritas, because this sounds really good. The reality is that I can’t stand Tequila or Triple Sec, so it’s not an option. It does give me ideas for yummy pomegranate summer slushes though.
BBQ short ribs and grilled pineapple, and Blackberry hand pies (can we say empanada?). Not sure what’s up with the cake flour, though.

Computer-Free
Last night I gave myself permission to leave my laptop closed, and focus on other things. Not the best plan in light of my participation in NaBloPoMo, but I think it was a needed break. I “compute” all day, and I come home and spend more time on my computer, and it just gets to be an unhealthy cycle.
I felt sort of guilty for not posting or answering emails, but it felt really nice to ignore the banking, blogging, emailing, and everything else that I feel like I have to do when I open my laptop. I snuggled with my kitty and our puppy, and my honey. It was a fabulous evening.
