Food, glorious food!

I love food!

How cute is this heart-shaped goat cheese from a local cheesemaker?

Dinner last night was so good. We had tuna, marinated for a short time in lime juice and soy sauce (Mr. Bittman, you're a genius!) We then cooked it on the grill.

And then made a lovely pasta with these ingredients. The cheese and the whole wheat pasta were bought at the farmer's market yesterday morning. The woman selling the cheese happened to be right next to the pasta seller. She saw me buy the linguini and said that the chive chevre and some butter would make a wonderful sauce for it. Twist my arm! Butter and goat cheese? How could that be bad? I used about half of the cheese and about 3 TBS of butter. Salt and pepper finished it off.
Here is the finished dinner. It included these wonderful green beans, also bought at the farmer's market.


I didn't eat all of my tuna, which made my husband very happy. He gladly finished the rest!

Can't wait to eat the rest of my farmer's market finds!

Wildlife and pseudo-wildlife I saw on my run this morning

Ok, in the real life wildlife category we have a lovely bluebird. Said bluebird followed me by hopping from fence post to fence post until he ran out of posts and flew up into the trees. He made me smile and did not poop on my head as I feared he might. He also made me say, "Thank you!" to the Creator. (Does that count as church?) Also real was the thing in the tall grass by the railroad tracks that I have no idea what it was. It was huge and flat and disappeared into the grass. A giant turtle? Perplexing! Lots of birds and squirrels and a rabbit also were around this morning.


Pseudo wildlife include sawhorses that I thought were deer, a log I thought was an armadillo, and a stick I thought was a snake. You might say I need glasses, I say it was freakin' early and the sweat was in my eyes! All in all a very good run!
