Being Sarah-esque

My friend Sarah is a wonderful cook. She always finds these delectable recipes and so many of them become my family's favorites. Her blueberry whipped cream pie is just one example. Mmmm! It's not uncommon to see her blog-post about food. Well, I am feeling very Sarah-esque after a wonderful meal that we enjoyed tonight.

Tee-Roy and Avandra came in from the garden with 3 large cukes, a large bowl of green beans, and tomatoes. We enjoyed the bounties of T's hard work like this: Grilled Salmon with Cucumber Salad (the salmon was done on the BBQ and we didn't use quite as many red onions in the salad), fettuccine with pesto, steamed fresh green beans, and fresh tomato slices. We ended it all with Breyer's M&M Cookie Dough Ice Cream. It was a beautiful presentation, delicious food, and the kids totally didn't like it. Oh well, they got their blue box of mac n' chee yesterday with the babysitter. And the caveat, in case you want to try this meal: we were fasting today. And we have noticed that new recipes are quite successful on Fast Sunday, but tend to disappoint the second time around. Food just tastes a whole lot better when you're hungry!

I'm so honored you'd call yourselves "Sarah-esque." Really I think you've come into your own with that meal. It sounds amazing!
