Leftovers from our delicious dinner last night.

The garlic bread was broiled with butter, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. Previous attempts at making garlic bread were failures because I put them in sideways instead of lengthways along the run of the broiler (d'oh) but I finally figured it out this time and it came out just glorious.

The veggie Italian sausage (I’ve been trying to eat less meat lately) was fairly passable as far as veggie sausages go; it had eggplant, red wine, fennel seeds, and lots of garlic, and was made of wheat gluten rather than soy. I’d recommend it, though of course if you’re looking for real meat texture and flavor you’re going to be disappointed.

The beet tortilla chips are basically regular tortilla chips with a vaguely beety aftertaste, but they’re pleasant enough.

Our CSA starts today! I’m excited. Apparently we’re getting wheatberries? Which I’ve never had before. Recipes and tips on cooking them would be very, very welcome.
