You might notice two veggie burgers in the background. I couldn't help it. I know they're not local, but it's a freakin' holiday and the official beginning of the summer grilling season. But I gotta say, the local squash was the highlight of the meal. See how much I'm enjoying it here:
I did stick to my local food rules for lunch when I made this giant garden salad:
It's a mixture of baby lettuces, arugala, snap peas, French Breakfast radishes, organic cucumbers, carrots, green onion, toasted pecans, and tofu. Very satisfying! And though it's not pictured, I had a big ol' bowl of peaches and strawberries for a mid-afternoon snack.
I've always hated grilled season, but this year I bought a grilling wok! and I hope I will enjoy it! Your squash looks so great!
ReplyDeleteWay to keep up with the local eating!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fantastic Memorial Day!
I don't know how to grill!
ReplyDeleteI wish I did, I love grilled food. There are even BBQ grills outside our apartment building, though I'm sure there is meat 'goo' all over it.
Don't feel bad about the veggie burger - it's MEMORIAL DAY! How could you not have a burger?
The squash more than makes up for it. ;-)
Looks like you had a tasty Memorial Day; and hooray for still being a locavore!! Terrific!!
ReplyDeleteGrillin is the way to go on Memorial Day! It's an all-American day so as long as the food you ate was made in America, I don't think it counts against you. (okay I'm assuming bocas are made in the US....)
ReplyDeleteWoah, this is soooo creepy (but cool at the same time): I have one of those “Little Miss” shirts, and I wore mine yesterday too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE GRILLING SEASON! your squash looks great... i had some myself yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteAnd its ok to "go off" your food morals once in a while (to an extent obviously!) my mom always says one day wont kill ya!!!! but all in all it seems like you had a great day!!!!!!
