Clearing out, off to California!


On Saturday we head west for our California roadtrip honeymoon.

Suffice to say we need to get away - B's primary care physician actually told him to get out of town and stay away from doctors for awhile. I'm ready for an adventure! Before we leave we have to deal with quite a bit of food in our fridge. Here's the plan:
  • Dinner tonight - white, purple, red & green peppers from our farm share grilled with sausage. We'll add some goat cheese and some of the hot peppers from the farm share too, and drink some pinot grigio as well. Yum. This'll use a lot of our produce - the stuff that really, really won't wait patiently while we're in California.
  • Blueberry smoothie to use the yogurt. Either today or tomorrow.
  • Important stuff like beer, diet coke, and cheese will stay to nourish the kind people helping feed the cats.
  • On the top shelf you can see some of my favorite things - lemonade and wedding cake. This is a small amount of the wedding cake we had leftover and hopefully there's just enough to please all the people visiting the cats and B and I before we leave. Yum! Seriously - Dinkels' cake is still good 12 days after. Still delicious.
  • Sadly my baked good triumphs - apple pie and zucchini bread - are probably on the way out.
Tomorrow night we go to the Chicago Art Institute for B's summer work party - fancy and fantastic!

I'm curious, What do white and purple peppers taste like? Are the sweet like yellow peppers?
