No surprise that we’re celebrating the first day of Spring by eating.
In fact, we’ve decided to have a Welcome Spring party all day, even though the sky looks sad and is threatening rain.
We’re bookending the day with fried dough: beignets for breakfast and steak & green chili-filled gorditas for supper.
The beignets come from a Cafe Du Monde mix that Sim picked up on a recent business trip to New Orleans. I’ve only had them once and this is a first for our future farmkids.
They were a big hit this a.m., especially after I doused them with a little chocolate sauce and added a side of whipped cream and sprinkles.
Next time I’ll experiment with fillings.
