We had a great weekend around beautiful Portland. On Saturday we went down to the waterfront and watched the big ships and small boats, which the kids loved. We thought about going to the Cinco de Mayo celebration to eat yummy fresh tortillas, but after seeing that the entrance fee was $8 per adult, plus parking, plus food, plus...we decided to wave as we drove by. :) On our way home, we stopped at the Sherwood Saturday market and walked around, we ended up buying four different organic, heirloom tomato plants: Fourth of July, Pineapple, Zebra Striped, and Cherokee Purple. I can't wait until they are ready for eating! Mmmmm. When we got home, we enjoyed a thunder and lighting show right outside our window. Great day!
Today we (Aaron) planted the tomato plants while the chickens and kids ran around the backyard playing and eating bugs...the chicks not the kids. :) I sat in the grass and watched, soaked in the sun, the laughter, the memories and made food. I brought out iced water with lemon and fresh mint for the hard workers, we had tuna with apples, celery, raisins, and chives on top of homemade biscuits from breakfast for lunch. Yummy! It tasted like summer.
Tonight I made Falafel on flatbread for dinner, it was so good! Falafel is an egyptian/middle eastern dish made of chickpeas, onions, garlic, parsley, cumin, cardamon, salt, pepper, lemon..yummy stuff all mixed together and fried. Yes, fried, that's what makes it SO good. Serve it on top of fluffy flatbread, parsley, tahini, tomatoes, yogurt-cucumber sauce (aka tsatziki-not traditional for this dish as it is greek, but SO delicious) and enjoy. The kids gobbled it up before I had even finished half of mine and were already asking for seconds, thirds, and fourths. :)
Taking pictures and blogging about food and fun happenings around our home has kept me distracted from these long few weeks before baby comes. Consider yourself warned: you may hear and see way more about food and daily life than you ever signed up for. :)
