We ate fancy yesterday.
Smoked pork shoulder and chicken, homemade jalapeno slaw, spinach salad with strawberries and walnuts, red potatoes with mustard vinaigrette and for dessert, grilled pound cake with strawberries and whipped topping. When I was telling my girls what we were going to eat for dinner as we headed out to watch the US Cycling Championship Race, my oldest remarked, " We eat so well in the summer. " I was in heaven! With the exception of the potatoes (of which we barely ate any) that was a meal at which most kids would balk. We seemed to have jumped a hurdle in child rearing.
Hallelujah!
In just the past week, one kid tried (and loved) raw oysters and the other inhaled crawfish as fast as she could peel them. All my hard work seems to be paying off. I have a glimpse of the foodies they will become and I am so proud.
On that note, I am a lazy cook this week. Last week of school and I am trying to get all my chores done so I can play next week while all we have is swim practice.
Life is good.
