Mmmmmmm: we've had: fajitas - chicken, sweet onion and red peppers from the grill - whole wheat tortillas from Whole Foods (we usually use El Rey's though) - sliced, ripe avocado - organic blue corn chips and Mrs. Renfro's salsa...after Graham's Boo Bash (he had a hot dog there) we had a late dinner (if it were me, I would've ordered a pizza) Jason made chicken sandwiches but of course, not just any chicken sandwiches...topped with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and organic spinach with a side of Trader Joe's Chimichurri Rice...bravo! For dessert, a slice of Jason's winnings at the cake walk - he totally beat Graham and 8 other 5-12 year-olds. Tonight's labor was a roast (from the pig Aunt Dar buys and shares) that Jason preconceived last night to make pulled pork sandwiches and hand cut roasted sweet potato fries. The forethought and planning boggles my little mind.
Graham's school had 'Boo Bash' on Saturday...we had a ball making his 'American Hulk' costume...a fun time at the party in the gym...even though the fog machine set off the fire alarm and we had to evacuate...the kids got a kick out of seeing some real costumed fire fighters.
Oh and one more thing - we carved our pumpkins and made roasted pumpkin seeds! Four kinds: salt & pepper, Lawrys, cinnamon/sugar and curry. Makes me think of Jason's/our cousins, Jay and Ken and their pumpkin farm...and then how gourmet they are with their breathtaking gardens and the goods they trade with neighbor farmers...they should start a blog with their cooking...they do have a website with fascinating and inspiring things already: www.hayriver.net
