Burgers with herbs from the garden on homemade bread; salad with garden mesclun, avocados (NOT from my garden, alas), and local tomatoes. Mine aren't ripe yet.
I'll probably have a beer with that.

Picked up lots of good stuff at the farmers' market yesterday. Last night was bow-tie pasta with fresh cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil and mozzarella. Tonight is a curry chicken salad (stopping at the store for roti chicken to make it quick and easy). Tomorrow night citrus-marinated grilled chicken with grilled asparagus and Sunday night is an asparagus and chicken stir fry with lemon thyme from my garden. I like to cook.
It's the last of the asparagus in these parts - so good, so short a season.... But I eagerly look forward to what comes next! Beets are just starting to show up, and zucchini, soon green beans and everyone's fave starting in late July, fresh sweet corn. Is is lunch yet?

Totally disjointed dinner last night. Made ginger glazed mahi mahi on the grill. Steamed some broccoli and topped it with some old lemon garlic butter I found in the fridge. Tossed a salad with avocado-basil dressing. I threw the leftovers of all that into a bowl today for lunch, wonder how it will taste...
Finished off with homemade berry popsicles

Tonight was "clean out the fridge a bit" night. I had a couple ounces of leftover flank steak (I'm impressed-I got five meals out of a little over a pound of steak!) coated in coarse-ground pepper, garlic powder and rosemary. Leftover burrito rice for carbs, and snow peas for veggies.
Turns out that veggies are much tastier if you cook them in a bit of butter and garlic.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
