[Lilah Charm]

Tonight my little Vikings and I (with lilahs accompaniment and supervision of course) gathered most of our dinner from the garden. We picked beets, lettuces, various tomatoes (mostly cherry style, mostly sun golds), carrots, slicing cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, zucchini, and a ton of surprise August strawberries!

We made a major salad (I topped mine with tender steak from a recent BBQ and delicious blue cheese) and had beet greens sautéed in butter with onions and garlic, fried zucchini and corn on the cob (mine is still growing so that didn't come from our garden- yet). We topped off dinner with a dessert of strawberries and blueberries covered in cream and sugar and I will proudly note my six year old begged for me to cook four little overlooked beet greens before he ate his berries (I happily obliged). I hope that makes up for our fair day indulgences of yesterday! Lol.
