FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

“Food is an important part of a balanced diet.” Fran Lebowitz

Today’s title is the name of a song from the musical”Oliver”. Love that musical. (I bet the workhouse boys back then would have appreciated a balanced diet.) When I was in grade 12 my high school did a production of it at The Confederation Centre of the Arts.

I had the role of ‘Bet’. What an amazing experience. Memories that last a lifetime, with more learning experiences than you can imagine. A prime example of the importance of ‘the arts’ in school programs.

So I haven’t posted in a while. Haven’t been doing very much. Just working around the house and the yard. Not very exciting. But there have been some interesting meals and I’ve been saving the pictures to share with you. Today’s the day.

I’m starting with tonight’s supper. This recipe may be meant to be eaten as an appetizer but it was delicious and filling as a meal.

Pineapple Avocado Salsa

The next three we enjoyed over the last two weeks. Even though Meatless May is done we’re still including many vegetarian recipes in our diet.

The centre is Mango, Beef, and Rice on a bed of lettuce.

The far right is Cheese Omelette topped with Garlic Scapes.

The eggs are local from Kool Breeze Farms https://koolbreezefarms.com/. The garlic scapes are from our garden. For those who haven’t heard of garlic scapes (we hadn’t until last year): Garlic scapes are the tender stem and flower bud of a hardneck garlic plant. (Hardneck garlic is the kind of garlic that typically grows in Canada and the northeastern U.S.) Scapes first grow straight out of the garlic bulb, then coil. When harvested, they look like long, curly green beans.

So we’ve been working, exercising, and eating healthy. Or at least we’re trying. always a work in progress.
