I don't know about you guys, but the last month and a half has flown by! I blinked and now, it's nearly August, the humidity is oppressive, college football is right around the corner and I'm looking at the calendar for the Fall to determine when I need to ask for leave for a mini-vacay. It seems like just yesterday Laurie and I were camping out for Memorial Day Weekend!
This weekend, one of my best friends in the world, Anna, was up here visiting, so I didn't really dig too deeply into the CSA box. I've been eating pretty healthy lately, so this weekend was a big splurge for me. We picked up Lost Dog (my favorite sandwich place) and picnicked while watching How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days outside in Rosslyn and brunched at some awesome spots in Alexandria (chicken and waffles is all I can say), so the only meal I really cooked was Saturday night.
Since Laurie worked late last night, I was bored and decided to make Mexican pizza with the leftover fajita stuff from Saturday. I wish I could share the recipe with you, but I simply threw shrimp and onions in a pan, toasted tortillas, added a little shredded cheese and topped with pico de gallo and a fennel, cabbage and radish slaw I made this weekend. Sometimes the simplest things are the best, and I love playing "Chopped kitchen".
I also made pickles last night, and I promise I'll share the recipe with you tomorrow if they're any good. We're starting to have the same problem with cucumbers that we did last month with lettuce - way too much! It's my first time making bread and butter pickles, so it may be hit or miss with them. Regardless, I'll let you be part of the experience.
