Categories: What I ate

A friendly dinner

So last night, I hit up a local farmer’s market with two of my friends/coworkers, Jessie and Tim.

We were in search of inspiration for something to make for our friend’s dinner we scheduled what seems like 5 months ago….  All because you have to be VIP to get on Jessie’s calendar  …  Not pointing fingers or anything…

We did a loop around the market, to check out the goods:

After a mini-powwow on our findings, we decided to go with fajitas for our friends dinner. 

We ended up going with:

  • 2 green peppers
  • 1 lb of mixed lettuce greens
  • 1 green zucchini
  • 1 yellow zucchini
  • 2 ears of corn
  • 1 candy onion (basically a mild onion, but we were all super intrigued by the name)

We divided the remaining necessities for our fajitas amongst us, and each of us left to grocery shop/scavenge for food in our fridges/pantries.  Us accountants are so dang efficient sometimes 😉

First thing I did when I arrived at Tim and Jaci’s house was spread all the ingredients out on the counter. 

I guess I’m not capable of cooking unless I’m surrounded by a big fat mess 🙂

Jessie got to guac makin’ while Tim supervised:

I tended to the veggies:

Tim got his grill on:

Jaci got her shred on:

Then we feasted:

Here’s one with the flash for easy viewing:

Yeah, I ate that. 🙂  And it was goooooooooood!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
