Dinner – Summer Yum!

Thursday, August 26th, 2010


Dinner, originally uploaded by Sydney Shimko.

Grilled salmon on a bed of heirloom tomatoes with homemade cilantro pesto and a squeeze of lime. Delicata squash, green beans and green onions from our Springdale Farm CSA also grilled and served on the side. What a beautiful night to eat outside on the patio.

Jason is the master of the grill in our family. I have wanted to learn and have practiced this summer (with charcoal). With only a handful of fires and a couple of meals under my belt, I’m happy so say this meal came off without incident!

We visited our CSA farm today, Springdale Farms in Plymouth, WI. The kids had fun playing in the mud and seeing all the veggies. See more photos on flickr.

Ride the Barns

Ride the Barns, originally uploaded by Sydney Shimko.

We rode a group ride today organized by Tall Pines Land Conservancy that took us from farm to farm over 30+ miles. Jason pulled Maia in one trailer (shown above with Jeremy) and I pulled Tarek in the other. We were served delicious home grown and raised food at the farms and talked to the farmers about the state of farming in Waukesha and the surrounding counties. It was a great event!
