6/8/13: Farmer's Market day means there are lots of greens to be cleaned for the week. S&Z love using the salad spinner, and they thought it was funny that I give everything "a bath" in the sink. Of course they wanted to help.
Today we bought romaine lettuce, haruki turnips, and swiss chard. I will saute the turnip greens along with the swiss chard when Derek and I grill Southern Style Pork Tenderloin on his night off this week.
I got a pedicure this morning, and then we met up with Rhiannon at the Farmer's Market. When I asked the kids at bedtime what their favorite part of the day was Zoe said "seeing the vegetables at the Farmer's Market" and Silas said "pancakes!" (which is what they had at the neighborhood cafe for lunch).
After nap they wanted to do some painting on the deck. The idea I had of using the animal stamps with paint instead of stamp pads didn't quite work out as envisioned, but they still enjoyed the creative process :)
For dinner we had romaine lettuce salads with red pepper, turnips, radishes, cucumber, and carrots. I also made Carrot & Orzo Salad which both Silas and I had as our main courses (Zoe only wanted the lettuce salad for her dinner). I added 1/2 a sliced red onion when I roasted the carrots, and I would consider garnishing with toasted walnuts or pine nuts next time I make it. I used Bulgarian Feta cheese from the local fish market - absolutely delicious!
