let's get real here, does the food ever suck?

so! i think saturday was nice weather, so we grilled out. jen and bryan came over, and figured they'd bring the baby as well. mom made chicken thighs with some sort of hickory-smoked barbecue sauce. we also grilled zucchini and pineapple, and i made grilled sweet potato and scallion salad. it has a balsamic-type vinaigrette with grilled sweet potatoes and scallions. it was tasty! for dessert mom made strawberry shortcake with whipped cream. i didn't have any, but it looked as thought it turned out pretty good.




sunday for dinner i made korean bulgogi over jasmine rice. not only did it taste awesome, but it sure did make the house smell great! the dish is basically a thinly sliced beef in a marinade of honey, chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. it's then stir-fried and you add bean sprouts and onions to the stir-fry. mmm! i also made a salad with fresh greens from the peters garden, fresh sweet peas, radishes, and scallions from ours, and alfalfa and tomatoes.






today mom and i are babysitting oliver. he took a great 2-1/2 hour nap this morning, and then we just got back from a walk to the park. we put him in the baby swing and he wasn't sure if he was scared or if he liked it. i guess the swing is like twice his height off the ground. i'd be scared too!







what's cooking tonight: cashew chard "burritos." gotta love tofu and cashews all in one!
