We Burned the Veggies!
I told you yesterday that my hubby grilled some veggies for some soup I was going to make today. But, it kills me to report that over half of them didn't make it. They were burnt beyond recognition. As I scraped them into the sink to run the disposer, my husband starting humming the "Taps Song". It was a sad moment.
We grilled the veggies in two batches; one batch for our supper and then one batch for soup. I think the grill was too hot for the soup veggies and they became chard. When I got them out of the fridge today, in the day of light, they were goners. So, I didn't have enough to make the soup. So, we're just going to eat the ones that survived with our leftover chicken.
And, I promise I'll make this soup next week. I don't give up that easy. Plus, it's a recipe I'm anxious to try.
Breakfast - We exercised in the yard today by pruning bushes, cleaning out weeds, and mowing. It took us over 3 hours, so that was a pretty good workout with lots of squats and lunges. To fuel our bodies I made a Tomato & Mushroom Frittata (SS web site) and pre-packaged turkey sausage patties. The recipe called for salsa as a garnish, but we didn't feel it needed it with all the tomatoes inside the frittata. This dish was delicious and fresh tasting. I'd enjoy having it again sometime.
AM Snack - We had a bowl of fruit with fresh pineapple, melon, and grapes.
Lunch - Leftover Thai Beef with Cucumber Salad from Day 5.
PM Snack - Brown rice chips and fresh salsa. My husband had a cocktail, because he said he deserved it after working so hard in the yard. I admit I was tempted, but decided to put some lime juice in my water instead.
Dinner - Leftover Crunchy Lemon Chicken from yesterday and the grilled veggies that we were able to save from our burning disaster.
Beverages: I drank more than my eight 8-oz. glasses as I was plenty thirsty working in the hot sun all day.
