I grew up in a meat and potato family. Every night like clockwork my mom would serve up a dinner, a starch (99% of the time it was white rice or instant potatoes) and an iceberg lettuce salad at 6pm on the dot. We had a next door neighbor that was very much into gardening and quite southern. The Dyers always had a HUGE garden. I remember as a kid hearing my brother come home from playing over there and telling all of us that they were having a vegetable dinner. Thats all they were going to eat....vegetables! As a kid I could not think of much worse than that!
Fast forward about 25 years....
Yesterday I went to the farmers market here in Walnut Creek. I had a hard time restraining myself. I wanted to buy it all. My friend Karin also had brought me a sack of zucchini and cucumbers from her mom's garden. I could hardly restrain myself on all the goodness!!! Tonight I am going to do a dinner of veggies with a desert of strawberries! YUMMY!
