Chip's lunch: September 30, 2010

This is another one I was able to make in the morning. Much to Chip's chagrin, there was no cheese around for his hot dog...but that also means that this lunch is vegan! Also, we've been enjoying all the different apples we've been getting from the farmers' market and through our CSA. This one is a Golden Delicious from the CSA...yum!

Chip's lunch: July 30, 2010

I pulled off this lunch with the last of the veggies in the house (minus some spinach). Seems like our CSA and our farmers' market finds were just perfect for this week. This chocolate (Newman's Own organic) was on sale at Kroger this week, and I couldn't pass it up. Fortunately, it's Chip's new favorite thing, and a square here and there makes him so happy!

We have a busy weekend planned with greyhound events, house stuff, and...the Ohio State Fair! The only state fair I've ever experienced was in Maryland, and it was about ten years ago. I'm interested to see how the Midwest does it up. As my friend Lori told me today, "the Ohio State Fair...where they'll dip anything in batter and fry it." She says they do battered and fried funnel cake. Funnel cake. Which is batter that has been fried. They batter it and fry it more?! The only thing worse might be deep fried butter, which, apparently, is actually a thing that someone invented.

Chip's lunch: June 9, 2010

I think this lunch is hilarious. Partly because, come on...it's a hot dog and a caprese. Caprese is classy, hot dogs are not. Also, the hot dog looks ridiculous. We grilled it yesterday and then put it in the fridge so we could have a tasty grilled hot dog any time. But it got all wrinkly and funny looking. It still tastes great, of course, and being vegetarians, we eat lots of funny looking stuff. Let's be realistic...soy yogurt is gray and lumpy and I eat it daily.

I'm proud to say that the basil came from our garden. We finally got it in the ground on Monday, and it's amazing! I love it so much, and am so excited to get some good produce.



Chip made the beds out of our former deck stairs; they were falling apart and we rebuilt them last month. You can also see our rain barrel on the far left of this photo. From left to right: watermelon, Roma tomatoes, bell peppers (only one plant is in this photo but I added two more today: yellow, red, and purple), green beans, zucchini, and lettuce (wildfire mix and Bibb). We'll build one more small box for strawberries, and the basil is in a pot on the deck.
