There is a skill to
photographing food, making the plate look appetizing. I lack it.
…
That admission aside, I want
to share the first course of my simple lunch yesterday, vegetables in lemon caper sauce. That
may seem like overkill before a sandwich of deviled ham, but I can explain.
You see, SO plated the remaining leftover
sauced salmon, finished heating that last serving as I strode toward the kitchen. We passed through the entryway, at which point I noticed the
casserole dish with some vegetables inside still sitting on the counter.
“I guess I’m supposed to put
that away,” I said, tone acerbic.
“What? It’s just some
carrots.”
Looking closer, I replied, “And
water chestnuts.”
“So?”
“In lemon caper sauce,” I answered,
thereby winning the argument.
Well, I took a minute and found some tiny broccoli florets plus two sugar snap peas buried
beneath capers and the cold, hardened butter sauce. Yum. And I hate wasting
food.
Did you eat your vegetables
today?

If "today" is Wednesday, no. I ate a banana for my healthy food of the day. It was a hectic day. If "today" is Thursday, it isn't "today" for me yet, so I still have a chance! Your leftovers look great, but for the capers. I eat so many more vegetables in summer.
ReplyDeleteSorry for a hectic day! I didn't think about the wording of that question in regards to the time it posted. ~blush~ Silly me. I bet you grow all your veggies, don't you? I should check out what you've got going on your blog, maybe check the awesome archives. Be well!
DeleteI don't have a knack of photographing anything well. Me and a camera spells disaster. I do eat all my veggies though. I love veggies.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Darla. ♥
Ah, I bet you're being too hard on yourself. ~hugs~ Glad to know you like your vegetables. Good for you!
DeleteDoes the SO not clean up after himself?
ReplyDeleteShort answer: no. Long answer: his mother used to say that you could always tell when he'd been in the room. ~grin~ At least I had warning.
