We picked more snow peas this morning, so for lunch we shared some PPI BBQ brisket an ear of corn and steamed the snow peas for a lovely lunch in the garden with Negra Modelos.

It was a lovely day and we were thrilled that both the water hyacinth and a water Lilly were in bloom.

After lunch we went shopping at Sprouts during its 72 hour sales event.  We bought 2 lb.s of Italian sweet pork sausages for $1.99/lb., granola for $1.99/lb., Spanish extra virgin olive oil for $5.99 per liter, milk for $2.49 per gallon, and 12-15 count per pound shrimp for $6.99/lb.

We again used PPIs for dinner.  We invited Willy and heated the PPI grilled tuna from Thursday evening’s meal.  I sliced the remaining two chayote and three zucchini in 1/3 inch thick strips that we tossed in a freezer bag with olive oil, salt, and pepper that Suzette then grilled outside while I sautéed some of the PPI bulgur with ¼ cup each of onion, raisins, and piñon nuts, and about two large handfuls of spinach with a bit of water, first covered to create some steam and then uncovered to evaporate the remaining water.  I put a Middle Eastern spice of oregano, sumac, and sesame seeds in the dish while it was cooking.

We drank iced tea and ate outside.  This was a gorgeous dinner of PPIs.

Bon Appetit
