New Daily Special: Food Fridays

Time to refresh the Specials board!

First: media is hereby retired as a daily special (though not as a label). I didn't have as much to share about that as I anticipated, so... outta here.

Second: travel will travel to Thursday, starting next week.

Third: Fridays will be all about food.

I love food. In fact, I'm eating -- at this moment -- cranberry-walnut-apricot bread from Central Market. It is very yummy.

Also, I'm drinking hot PG Tips (sounds dirty, but it's actually...), official tea of England (not really)(well, maybe) with skim milk and no sugar, because that's how I roll.

I'm pretty much never far from my next bite, which is why I run (see fitness / health).

Plus, I hear that some of you read daily pie just to see what Dave made for dinner. Fine. I'm too weak not to give you what you want, and hey, who am I to keep all those delicious dinners for myself? I'd be big, like a house.

Here, I'll treat you right away. This was a tapas spread created last weekend by Dave and our friend Joe. Clockwise from top left: sliced jicama w/ peanut-yogurt dip, grilled scallions w/ spicy marinara sauce, grilled pineapple, seared beef tenderloin marinated four ways, mushroom caps stuffed with pastured-chicken sausage, dolmas, roasted sweet potatoes, calimari baked in sweet chili and Tiger sauces, cucumber slices drizzled w/ citrus oil and gourmet salt, homemade sweet pickles, grass-fed bison sloppy joe tartlets (yeah, baby!), roasted cauliflower, cucumber "noodles" in Thai peanut sauce, and ancho chile prawns...



We did not eat it in one go.

Now that spring's underway, Dave already has the vegetable garden half-planted. We're just waiting on some heirloom tomatoes we ordered from a fellow in Boerne, then the summer garden will be complete. I look forward to sharing lots of fresh, tasty meals with you here.

Food with friends. Pull up a virtual chair!
