Enjoying the fruits of my labor?

We are currently at my brother-in-law's house in Murfreesboro, TN. I brought some of the produce from our garden, because I knew my sister-in-law would appreciate it, being something of a gardener herself. I brought about 10 grape tomatoes, and 4 or 5 romas, along with two cucumbers. Tonight we had a lovely "veggie night" for dinner. It consisted of baby red potatoes, corn, asparagus, fried green tomatoes (I brought those too, because I couldn't wait to enjoy those tomatoes!), sliced cukes, and a delicious spinach and grape tomato salad.

I am trying to get the hubby to branch out on which veggies he will eat. I love them all, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the veggie night tonight. I think it is nice every once in a while to have a nice simple meal with no meat to prepare. Somehow it seems like so much less of a hassle to just have fresh produce for dinner. And oh, so good for you!

Your family feast sounds really good. That was sweet of you to take some to share with your family.
I am looking forward to my own homegrown vegies next summer.

That feast sounds great! We sometimes do exactly the same thing during the harvest season.
I really do like meats with meals...but I don't feel that I HAVE to have it.
A meal of all freshly-picked veg witha picked salad is really some of the best eating there is...and there are so many ways toi do it with or without a wok.
Well done, you!

Yeah, my husband didn't say anything because we were guests at someone else's house, but I'm pretty sure he was thinking... "Must... have... MEAT!"
