Eaten Up

Fruit and fruit in salad.

And if I don’t see you tomorrow, or even if I do, happy Canada Day!

For kado with fellowship came food…

Egg salad sandwich, quinoa salad, beet salad, hummus, carrots, bread, pesto…

Claudia’s clever peach and apple cake with icing on the inside, slices wrapped like sandwiches in wax paper.

Guy’s wife made a lemon-cranberry loaf.

We split a breakfast wrap with fruit salad brunch at Memories restaurant, and they portioned it out to 2 plates.

Later, we had some summer salad with strawberries, cucumbers, cashews and citrus salad dressing and an almond alfredo sauce topped with cilantro and macadamia nut pesto. Thank goodness we have flavorful fruits and greens again. It’s been a long winter.

Forgot to post from a week ago…

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp (about) cardamum
1/2 cup soft butter, unsalted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup (or less) almond milk
2 cups quick cook rolled oats
1 cup currants
1/2 cup or more puffed flax

Sift first 4 ingredients. Cream butter and sugar, adding eggs. Mix wet and dry gradually, folding in the last 3 ingredients. Drop by spoonfuls on baking pan. Bake at 350 for 18 minutes or until golden. Makes 4-5 dozen.

Whole wheat pita with cucumber, tomato and mayo and a wild rice salad with peaches and sunflower seeds, cranberries, green onion and balsamic vinegrette dressing.

After the soup and before the tea, the admittance meal provided for the family as dad’s put in the old age home.

Chili and bun, with juice and apricots to come. (The non-vegetarian option he went for was coleslaw, sausage, fries and nanaimo bar.)

Scottish oatcake topped with black beans, salsa and chives, avocado and tomato salad with a leaf of nasturtium, cucumber, yellow pepper and yogurt salad on our home-grown lettuce, and some heated canned stuffed zucchini.

A meal in the park of nibbles, blueberries, sliced biscotti, apricots and canned stuffed zucchini from Turkey.
