Dinner photo's and golden nugget squash pie

   



Tonight we roasted some parsnips, golden nugget squash and elephant garlic. We are using our squash for a healthier little pie. The parsnips and garlic we tossed with the fresh beans. All the produce we got from the The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island. We get our cases of apples there from $8-10 and about 8 varieties local. Our fresh corn we get there is about 4 ears for $1 and about 5 varieties including one called Peaches and Cream which is amazing.

Hickory smoked local pork chops slow cooked on the grill in the overcast weather. The hickory smell drifts down the walkway, 30 feet before you get to the door it smells like a southern smoker. The lemon zest went into a fresh whip cream to dip fruit in. Blake loves to peel or grate and loves to know what he can work on next before the first item is prepped. We usually put on some music and within seconds we catch blake dancing himself off his step stool. He's a blast!
