Yum!

Yesterday was a good food day for us. Our CSA box was ready to be picked up ad we got some delicious organic fruits and veggies and a loaf of bread to enjoy this week. Naturally, us being the carbaholics we are, the bread is almost gone. But we have plenty of oranges, tangelos, lemons, leeks, salad greens etc to last us the week. The box was a teensy bit smaller than I expected, so we'll see if we can continue this. We like our veggies here. A lot. It really won't take long to blast through the box each week.

We had very limited time for dinner last night and then we had to rush out to a church thing, so I made sandwiches for us with the bread and salad greens and some salami I had here. It. Was. So. GOOD. Good bread makes me very happy. :)

I also baked like mad while the kids napped and made both the kinds of scones I set out to make. They are good, but I can never tell if I make them right. The scones my aunt makes are buttery and full of nuts and raisins and just soooo good. These weren't very buttery, and I put the amount of cranberries the recipe called for in, but they definitely need more. I like me some cranberries! I would have put nuts in them too, Aaron is anti-nut in baked goods, which is really too bad because they are so yum! Regular scone makers: are they supposed to have a buscuit-like quality?

At any rate, yesterday was full of good food and today will be too. I'm making sausage and leek soup. No recipe. Just goin' fer it. If it turns out good I'll post what I put in it, but I doubt I'll know quantities. So much for me being a chef.
