Tonight wasn't really supposed to be a celebration of Leo's birthday, but homemade dinner, an Epsom salt bath, a massage and sex sure sounds like one hell of a date. For a lady. Or for Leo.
He spent the day helping his friend Julie get this week's produce ready. She just started up SunCoast Organics, an organic veggie delivery club for the greater Sarasota area. I'm out of their delivery range, but I get a similar service from Lancaster's Hydro Farm. Their focus is not on organic, but on local, though they persist in including apples, which I appreciate as a food but despair as not being local enough (some items being "USA-sourced" rather than "reasonable driving distance"). Long story short, he brought half of his weekly order up to my house and Tuesday is delivery day for me and thus dinner was born. It took less than 30 minutes and yet I felt really positive about incorporating so many veggies. Too simple for recipes, but the ingredients were:Pasta: Whole wheat rotini with mix of alfredo and mushroom marinara with steamed zucchini and squash.
Salad: Romaine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, Easter radishes, apple, green onions and vinaigrette. Everything but the (organic) radishes came from our baskets!
