We have the right to think independently
Saturday was its usual day – a day of errands and chores, and today is a holiday so I’m trying to get in the groove. I was able to read the New York Times cover to cover – which doesn’t mean that’s a good thing, because when it is chocked full of interesting stories and articles, it takes me a lot longer than a morning. But we were able to sit on the screen porch and not faint from the heat so that in and of itself is a positive start to the day.
We made a big bowl of ceviche last night and some mushroom pate – we are determined to not cook one hot dog, hamburger, or meat of any kind this 4th of July unlike all the years past. It’s part of our transition into being even more conscious about the food we put into our bodies and serve our friends and children.
Trout ceviche from a neighbor’s catch in a nearby bayou filled with creole tomatoes grown in a small farm across the lake. Barbecued shrimp from a local catcher. Peaches from Alabama, sold at the green market. This is our hyper local, pescatarian holiday meal.
Happy Independent Thinking Day!
