My wife and I took some time to go out on a date night so I didn't slavishly update the blog, but never fear I am not defeated in my quest. Once again beets were up against another veggie, but this time I'm picking them over spinach since I'm sure I'll have spinach quite a few more times. We went out to a Greek restaurant in South Bend called Alexander's Grill. For our appetizer we got cold marinated beets and sadly they didn't have the wow factor like the cooked beets we had last week from Apple Valley. They were a little short on flavor but were still enjoyable, again they just didn't amaze us. I also had a classic Greek dish: spanikopita, spinach and feta with lemon juice cooked in filo.
This afternoon my wife made a wonderful Napa cabbage salad with an apple vinegar, ramen noodles, and roasted sesame seeds and almonds. I had three small bowls and loved it! The sesame seeds and almonds put a yummy crispy and sweet salad over the top. I'm so blessed with some of the things she makes.
