Tamales with salsa
Red leaf lettuce with carrots, red onion, brocco sprouts, lime, and guacamole
Pineapple and cantaloupe
DPappardelle with tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil
Green beans
Strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple
The tamales are the ones I made and froze. Pop'em in the steamer and heat some salsa and it is done!
The pappardelle elicited a "this is the best dinner I have ever had in my life" from Ashton and a subsequent "this is the best dinner...I never...heard" from Juliet. And the beauty of it all is that it took me maybe 30 minutes from start to finish. I chopped 4-5 cloves of garlic, saute in oil, add a can of diced tomatoes, freshly ground pepper and salt, a little veggie broth to make it soupy, and fresh sliced basil (I use kitchen scissors). Let simmer while the pappardelle cooks. When the pasta is ready, I transferred it to the pan with the sauce and let it all simmer together while I finished washing the fruit and sidestepping the baby at my feet. Then I threw in a little extra basil. I'm with Juliet, it was the best dinner I never heard. And that is the honest truth.

I wish more people around here liked pasta...
Last night, flying solo, I had a wonderful fresh-from-someone's-garden tomato sandwich.
And the night before that was Cajun Stuffed Peppers (good, not outstanding) from Veganomicon. I think that it was my first ingestion of black-eyed peas.
I've wondered about those stuffed peppers. They sounded good but since my family wouldn't eat a pepper like that, I haven't tried it.
I love a good tomato sandwich!
