I'm tired !
Wow! What a weekend!
I spent Saturday at one of the most unique, and in RJ's words "boring" festivals I have ever been to. We went to the Tomato Arts Festival in East Nashville. Now, I was hoping for tomatoes and other assorted summer vegetables. What we got, was a parade of people dressed like tomatoes! Oh yeah, a really out of tune band led the parade! Well, at least we got some exercise.
When we left the Tomato Festival, we went to Farmers Market. Now, it's been years since I've been to the market, but what a blast! RJ and I walked a lot further than we have in the past. And we got some really fresh fruits and veggies.
We bought some peaches, which were delicious!
We also picked some tomatoes, jalapeños and onions which Beth made into pi-co DE gallo! Yum!!!
When I saw green tomatoes, I could not resist! If there is one thing in the south that signifies summer...it's fried green tomatoes! Now, I have not had them since surgery, so we will see what kind of gastro intestinal distress the grease will cause.
And for some reason, I could not resist the watermelon and cantaloupes! This is what I call eating good in the neighborhood!
Now that was on Saturday! Sunday was just as busy. will it ever slow down? Who knows! Anyway, we had a joint service at church today. Several months back, we retired out part of our church to a local Hispanic church that was looking for a home. So, today we met together for the first time. What a beautiful service. We had 4 baptisms, praise and worship, communion, and ended up with dinner on the grounds.
Beth and my class had to supply desserts. So we did a Sugar free Sour Cream Pound Cake with strawberries. The recipe can be found by clicking on the picture!
After church we came home and prepared dinner for Beth's mom and dad. Yesterday was Beth Mom's 66th birthday. We joked and told her that she had a full house...08/08/2008...8's and 6's! She had requested a cheesecake, so we obliged by making her my Strawberry Shortbread Cheesecake! Once again, click on the picture for the recipe!
I think I need to go back to work , just to get some rest!
