Farmer’s Market – Or why I would fail at Iron Chef…

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Today I stopped by the local Farmer’s Market*. The closest one to my house is very small, but nice.

Lots of produce. Green onions, radishes, new potatoes, mixed greens, fresh herbs, asparagus and new potatoes.

I looked at all of this lovely stuff and couldn’t come up with a single idea of what to do with it. And, I tend to not buy produce unless I know what I am going to do with it. So, today I left almost empty handed (couldn’t pass up the chive cheddar cheese!) but making a mental note of “come up with something to use all that good stuff!”

Best part was finding two new meat suppliers – Smith Family Farms for Angus Beef and Cibola Farms for buffalo meat. (Links in sidebar under Suppliers.) Both have free range pork as well. I didn’t expect this at all, but I grabbed both of their brochures and I will pick something out to try next week.

Seriously, if I were on Iron Chef, I’d be done before I even started. :)

*In years past, the thought of going by only occured to me on Saturday afternoons, afterкомпютри they were closed. I’m trying to do better this season.

Life has horridly gotten in between myself and the kitchen, but I saw this today and had to pass it on.

Ward Street Bistro presents Press In The Pan Pie Crust. Complete with pictures and doesn’t look like it could be simpler.

Also, no sooner did I upgrade WP, a day later they released another upgrade. Also trying to get a plugin for subscribing to comments.
