Yesterday, I was at the whim of my desire to work in cafes and yet it mostly just lead to some frustration and less than exciting food choices.
Today made up for it! Breakfast was the same, but I have intentions to make exciting changes in that. After eating, Xerxes and I whipped up some might pretty Hummus Sandwiches with cucumbers, tomatoes, and a bit of provolone.
We met our friends at the library for the rainy afternoon and this particular library is nice and let’s families discretely eat in the kid’s area. This was perfect since we couldn’t exactly go outside for a picnic.
One of our friends also brought a basket of Berry Muffins. She has been gluten-free for a long time and loves to bake, so I felt compelled to try one since I imagine she is a good baker. Of course, it was also obvious that they certainly had sugar or a sweetener in them. She mentioned it was unrefined and I reminded myself that we were just skipping desserts this week. Juliette and I split one. Speaking of Juliette, she adored her sandwich as did I.
While we were enjoying our library time, I was also making arrangements to swing by a friends house to help her with her over-abundance of cherry tomatoes. She also ended up with a Colorado grown leg of lamb that had to be slow braised tonight. I couldn’t help, but agree to assist her with eating it.
We came home and I got to work preparing a simple Braised Summer Squash & Caramelized Onion dish, topped with a crumble based on the topping for my Mushroom Crumble. Unfortunately, I decided to pulse the mixture in the cuisinart, somehow used too much butter, to compensate I added cornmeal. In the end I created these herb-pellets that were okay on top, but not great. As I discussed the situation at dinner, we all agreed the taste was still good but it is good to try and fail in a recipe to at least know what not to do.

Our other contribution was a Mint-Basil Pesto. At first I wasn’t crazy about the finished product, but after it settled it worked perfectly with the lamb- which did I mention was perfectly medium-rare and delightful. Now, to find out the name of the company that grew that fine animal.
After dinner, I ducked outside and filled a bowl of bright orange cherry tomatoes and a few baby red cherry tomatoes. It was drizzling and with Zed in the pack sleeping I wasn’t able to pick nearly as many as I would have liked, but I did a pretty good job. At one point, I bumped into a large white spider and her web. I am not really afraid of spiders, but touching it creeped me out a bit to say the least.
The evening ended and we needed to pick up Xerxes, but we needed to kill sometime prior. So, we headed to a drive thru Starbucks. And then I realized that would not be nearly enough time, so we ran into Whole Foods for eggs, a few dairy products and fruit.
Now, moments before bed, we discussed how we are all doing on with the sugar fast. It seems everyone had a slight indiscretion, but for the most part we are all skipping the big old desserts we were having way too often, so we decided we were still on a good track. Trying to stay away from sugar is a challenge!
Good night, sleep tight,
