Breakfast: no Chinese today so we got to eat breakfast together. I sauteed spinach and put it in a bowl. Then I sauteed tomatoes and Jason made omelette using that. Yum! Cress and Phyllis ate two pints of homemade applesauce and some canned apricots. The first two pints Cress brought out, we tossed because they weren't full and looked darker at the top. We didn't even need to open them to make the call, but when I was cleaning the jars one had mold - so good call.
Lunch: Dai and Cress went to Grandma Susan's house to help her garden and Phyllis and Jason had volleyball so I was home alone. I cleaned a bit and also made lunch for them. We had penne pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach and pine nuts. The recipe called for sausage but I didn't have it so we just didn't have it. We also used the remaining four rolls - halved and toasted again. Cress didn't eat much and Dai only ate maybe half a bowl - apparently they had two blueberry muffins each at Grandma's.
While they were gone, I also started unpacking the CSA stuff. We had beets, which I pressure cooked, and beet greens attached to those, which I chopped and washed. I also chopped and washed the mizuna, kale and chard. Jason is making basic greens with it. It was a lot - but it always cooks down to so little.
I also prepared creamy turnips - we had three bunches of turnips. I have never made it before - so we shall see.
Dinner: Flat iron steak that Jason BBQ'd - the BBQ caught fire again. Jason needs to address it or we have to go back to charcoal grilling. Greens and creamy parsnips. Phyllis loved the parsnips - not the greens so much. The other two felt exactly the opposite. All the girls had more meat - they thought it was great. Cressida likes A1 but we just give her a little on the side to dip so she doesn't ruin the flavor of her steak. Followed by milkshakes made with strawberry ice cream and some bananas that we have that need to be used up soon.
