Hey Sam, why don't you go and sample corn to the fine people of the market, said the father to his son.
This picture is a true story, no posing. He's usually a sampling machine, but this day....
A. He looks like an advertisement for childhood entertainment...Batman hat, Minecraft shirt.
B. He's not sampling, he's looking at.....birds? planes? Superman?
The orchard is open now, which means....
I have to start working out to burn off all the
doughnut, corn salsa, hot cider, taffy apple, (insert other tasty fall foods here) calories.
Living 5 minutes....The temptation is just too much for my undisciplined personality!
Tomorrow we're taking our first field trip. To the very educational beach. ;)
The weather is going to be superb. 95 and sunny.
Friday is supposed to be 67...so we're taking the beach while we can.
Plus..the beach is a great morning motivator! Work will be finished quickly I'm sure.
Finally, if you still have cucumbers growing (or not :)....these were incredible!
Here is the recipe.
I changed a couple of things though...I used blue cheese (they were out of feta at the farmer's market)
Also, I used sun dried tomatoes AND peppers.
Oh...and I didn't roll them like the picture in the link.
My cucumbers weren't slicing nicely, so I gave up and put the mixture on top.
Definitely, definitely a recipe worth trying.
Hope your Monday was a great one.
Happy Evening to you.

too funny about Sam! I love that, I totally thought he was posing.
ReplyDeleteThe orchard stuff looks amazing. I had a big greasy cider donut this weekend and gained five pounds (LOL) so I'm with you on the working out.
Love your pictures, as always!
