Good Eats
Last night we had such a fine meal, I thought I’d share it with you. Nothing fancy, didn’t even have meat. It was just good summer food and all of it was pick moments before it was consumed. We had summer squash and zucchini fried in butter in a big cast iron frypan. We had a big batch of broccoli side shoots and sugar snap peas cooked to perfection and drowned in a liberal dose of butter and sprinkled with sea salt. We had fresh dug beets, the finest tasting beets we’ve ever grown on the hill (its the kelp I believe). And to top it off we had the first cukes and first ripe tomatoes sliced and soaked in apple cider vinegar, water, and sugar with some fresh chopped Italian parsly. Moments like like that meal make you forget that your even poor. Good food is one of the great blessings of agrarian life. Not the greatest blessing though, that would be growing that food with your wife and children. Work that has purpose and work done together for the glory of God.
