Last night Ellen made dinner and it was spot on. We had roasted veggies that consisted of
potatoes, onions, peppers, squash, Brussel sprouts, and broccoli. She baked them in the oven with some garlic
powder and other seasonings. They came
out very tender and delicious. Second she
made falafel. Yes it was from a box but
still very good. She made a dipping
sauce for it from scratch with cucumbers from our garden and yogurt. I did not care for the sauce but she and
Banner-Wolf loved it. We had three
different tomatoes from our garden. They
all have a different taste. I prefer the
regular red tomato over the others but believe me they all taste and look
amazing. Nothing like fresh veggies from
the garden that you know were not treated with a bunch of chemicals. Last
but not least she made some cornbread.
Not the normal cornbread but peach cornbread with stroodle topping. It was the best I have ever had. It was very moist and held together pretty
good. It was more of a dessert than part
of a meal but who cares. I will be eating
a piece tomorrow for breakfast with some hot tea. The crunchy top matched great with the sweet
peaches and the corn bread texture. That
was a winning dish in my book. The
peaches were fresh as well. We just got
them from the peach festival we went to that afternoon.
We had dinner the night before at my parents and they made
deer steak subs with tomato from their garden.
The deer was last years kill. My
mother cooks the meat that is sliced thin and melds with the onion in the
pan. There is not a hint of gamey (is
that even a word) taste to it. Everyone
that has tried it not knowing it was deer never had a clue till they were told
and by that time they were hooked. I
topped mine with salad dressing, lettuce and tomato. This is what we all look forward to in the
summer. We do eat the same subs all year
long but the fresh tomato makes it great.
You can top your anyway you want but in my opinion the more you put on
it the more you mask the flavor of the meat.
Add a side of potato chips and that is a meal. I suggest if you ever get a chance to have
this sub at my parents do not pass on it because you don’t like deer meat. You will be sorry. But hey, more for us if
you don’t want one. I will not complain
about eating your share. That’s it for
now. God bless, thanks for reading and
see you at the table.
