We didn't eat at home much over Labor Day weekend, and as a consequence, I had a lot of produce, home-grown and CSA, to use last night. Earlier in the day, I grilled one of Craig's beautiful red peppers (peppers are too fussy for me to deal with, but he gets along well with them), and some winter squash--one we grew, and a couple our neighbors gave us from their garden. I julienned the pepper and scooped out bite-size chunks of the squash. For dinner, I sauteed carrots, leeks, garlic, and tomato (all CSA) in olive oil, and added a little bit of crushed red pepper, then turned off the heat and added torn up basil leaves and the squash and peppers. I threw all the veggies on top of whole wheat linguine, then topped all of that with a poached egg (also from the CSA now that my job has moved and the Eggman is no longer in my life). I had worried we would need to order a pizza, but this was pretty good, especially the squash, which had seemed like a strange thing to throw in and turned out to be the best part.While I was grilling yesterday, I also came up with an inspiration for Date Night tomorrow night. Stay tuned.
