I’ve been having some very tasty lemon treats lately. Misfits Market has some great lemon items. I get some low sugar lemon sours and Allison found these Lemon Sea Salt cookies and they were very tasty. You wouldn’t think that lemon and salt would go together but somehow it works. I picked up the Del’s ice cream and it has a very subtle lemon flavor to the ice cream and I enjoyed that very much. No one else seemed to so I had it for myself.
Tonight was the first Food Truck night of 2024 at Capron Park. They have a food truck night there three times in the Summer. We try to make it to as many as we can because it is a fun night to try many different foods. Tonight I chose the General Tso’s Chicken tacos. The taco portion was a scallion pancake. I had the option of two General’s chicken or one General’s chicken and one Butter Chicken. I went with the option of getting one of each in order to try more things. I probably should have just stayed with the General’s chicken because I really enjoyed that one and it worked great with the scallion pancake.
Allison weent with a Falafel, Eva with General’s chicken on Fries and Andy went with Mac and Cheese Fries and a Grilled Cheese sandwich.
The way we work this event is that everyone gets $25. We bring a blanket and also drinks from home. That way we aren’t wasting money on beverages. We each go around and decide what we want and place our orders and meet up at the blanket to enjoy our meals and share. Then, if we have any money left over we go and pick up some desserts. Eva was pretty full so she opted for no dessert. andy went with Kona Ice and Allison and I each got a Churro/ice cream creation. Mine was Strawberry shortcake and hers was S’mores. I would have liked to have some real strawberries in mine but it was still good.
Allison and Eva went with Eva’s friend Ollie to the Providence Flea Market early this afternoon and Ollie hung out for a while after that. Also we got a visit from my parents. They were up for a few events and they came by to give the kids some gifts for having good report cards. We gave them their anniversary gift, a slide scanner. When we go down in the next week I’ll help them digitize some slides and negatives.
