DH just figured out he may be a foodie

 

The route home includes one home with a garden plot, where a couple of teen-agers earn there summer money by selling the tomatoes, cucumbers and squash. Cause we likes our fresh veggies, and seeing kids work hard, we often stop for the latest crop. Today, in addition to yellow squash, they had red, pink and yellow tomatoes. DH got one of each, and could barely wait to get the rest of the way home. I suggested mixing his tri-color salad with a cucumber, the rather garlicky pesto my sister had given us last time she was down, and balsamic vinegar. By the time he had chopped the tomatoes and the cucumber, the 2 quart salad bowl was full. Aged Cardona cheese was shredded across the top to finish.

Supper was sliced squash (yellow and zucchini) sautéed with pesto, yellow jasmine rice, and chicken breasts served over portabella mushrooms, topped with caramelized onions and a sliver of ermenthaler cheese.

I think we’ll finish off the yellow watermelon for dessert.

DH was rightfully proud of the cooking skills he’s acquired over the years.
