Call me prideful, but there's just something about sitting down to a dinner that began and finished right on your own (or your dad's own) land. This feast was soooo good, and it all grew right here. We raise our own beef, so the steaks were ours, and the rest I got from the garden (I guess I should omit the salt/pepper/seasonings/butter/olive oil/vinegar - we didn't grow that stuff). I also used the bbq for all of the cooking of last nights dinner. Even the corn on the cob. I hadn't tried that before, and it was pretty fun - and pretty tasty too. The shish kabobs have red & yukon gold potatoes (I boiled them first), onions, a variety of summer squash, and green peppers drizzled with olive oil and salt & pepper. For the cucumbers I just add some vinegar, ice, salt, pepper and water to the mix of cukes, onions and green peppers. It was a good dinner.
that looks so yummy and I know what you mean about pride, we have a garden this year and it has finally produced something, we all sat on the tramp and ate peas yesterday, nothing like fresh off the vine, those cukes look good I hope I get some soon you guys are so much warmer there you are weeks ahead of us
ReplyDeleteArthur wants some Melanie...you better get some for him. Joke.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good. I also know what you mean. We have been eating our cukes for 3 weeks now and peas too and the beans are coming. I don't have any beef though :) But fresh veggies are so worth the work to put into a garden! And the kids love it!!
