It seemed very fitting that on the weekend of Earth Week i spent the time with my family planting over one hundred trees on my parents property in Mono. This was in part a re-forestation attempt as many of the trees are dying of some disease, but it was also a good thing to do for the earth. Planting trees is actually a lot of work, so a easy satisfying lunch was in order to keep our energies high.
I was part of the planting group, so i didn't have anything to do with the cheffing- that was left to my mother and sister - who presented quite a platter of sandwiches and salads along with some beer to motivate us to finish the job.
They made a variety of sandwiches:
Egg salad
Tuna salad
Ham & Swiss
Cajun Turkey & Havarti
The salads:
Fruit salad
A tex-mex rice and black bean salad
And of course some veggies.
Yum!
