Sunday and strawberry crepes!

Yesterday we woke to a lovely and sunny Sunday morning. We had two morning glory blooms and a couple ripe black raspberries to nibble off the bushes. In the fridge were the last of the fresh strawberries from this week's farm share. A little birdie put the idea of pancakes in my husband's head and away he went. He stores recipes in his head like some people know their sports trivia. His crepe recipe follows the Joy of Cooking French Pancake recipe pretty closely, I believe. And he is a big fan of making sweet and savory stuffings for them. This morning it was a sweet strawberry filling that won out.

First, he made a puree of about a pint of strawberries.

Next, he mixed this with creamy goat cheese for a smooth, pink filling. After he had cooked a plateful of pancakes he started rolling them up with the strawberry cheese filling. Next it was breakfast on the back porch!

Thursday night.

Dinner tonight...steak fajitas, green salad, and dessert!

I found some sirloin strips for a good price so I snatched them up today at the store. I had planned to make lamb saag tonight but the beef changed my plan. I stuck the meat in a marinade of chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and oregano. I think I over did it on either the chili powder or the cumin because the meat cooked so fast and one of those powders didn't get to cook off enough.

I grilled green peppers and onions in oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes. And then in a hot pan I cooked the meat in small batches. We ate the fajitas with some guacamole, salsa, cheese, cilantro, and lettuce. YUM!

The green salad was greens and radishes from our farm share and cucumbers and carrots from the grocery store.

And dessert...strawberry and rhubarb cobbler with fresh fruit from our farm share. Only it wasn't as delicious as I'd hoped. The rhubarb needed to be cooked before going in the dish as it was still crunchy. And I added baking soda instead of baking powder and so the topping tasted metallic. And finally there is too much tapioca in the recipe for my liking as a serious jelly developed leaving no juices to be sopped up by the topping. Oh, well.
