Garlic braid

I got this garlic braid on Saturday at the farmer's market. I've wanted one of these for I can't even tell you how long. I just think they are so cool looking. On Sunday I hung it up in our newly painted kitchen!

Drew's Brews

Drew's Brews is the best coffee EVER! I've been looking for it since I first tried it at the Family Wash. Well, we found some at Marche a few weeks ago. It is so delicious. It goes especially well iced, served with a brownie.

Veggie Lasagna

On Friday I made Roasted Eggplant and Zucchini Lasagna. It was delicious. Since we are now back to buying only organic food, I've decided to try to make one or two meals like this a week. That way we can freeze leftovers and/or Steph can take them to work with her for lunch. I got the recipe from Cooks Illustrated.

Larb!

On Thursday evening we went to Cool Springs to have dinner at Jasmine. We went there because we needed to go out that way to pick Steph's car up (she had the oil changed) and because I've been craving thai food. Jasmine won Best Thai restaurant in Nashville and while I must admit I did not have high hopes, the food was actually really good, fresh, and refreshingly spicy. I was very pleased. For an appetizer, we shared some larb. Mmm, so gingery and limey.

Crostata

I made an apple crostata for dessert this evening. It was tasty. I want to go pick apples, but a lot of the places I've checked out in our area say they lost their apple crop this year because of the late frost. LAME! I will still keep looking...and if apples don't work out, at least there will be pumpkins to pick.
