Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Some friends came over for dinner last night and I decided I would go all out and make a multi-course extravaganza. We’ve been touting the excellence of Mark Bitterman’s new book, Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral, with Recipes, to anyone who will listen so I made sure to highlight salts in…
The garden is in full force. So much so that I can’t keep up with it and my CSA boxes! The thing about having a CSA and a garden is that things, you know, grow at the same time! Kale anyone? Spinach, thyme and marjoram galore! The tallest lettuce ever: The hops have loved the…
Mixed spring greens salad: Mixed spring greens (duh!) 1/2 grapefruit per dish (segmented and sliced) 3 radishes per dish Parmigiano-Reggiano slices Dressing: 1 shallot Juice from 1 lemon 1 T orange juice 1 T grapefruit juice 1 T parsley salt & pepper ~1/4c olive oil (I never measure this, just whisk until it looks and…
Whatever shall I make this week!?!? So many yummy choices! Can’t wait to get cookin’: Sprouts ‘salad’ mix – sunflower, pea, buckwheat, broccoli and radish Fuji apples Artichokes Red beets Cabbage Carrots Rainbow chard Collard “rapini” Green garlic Red Russian kale Leeks French breakfast radishes Rutabagas Strawberries
The flowers are in bloom! Everything at the farmer’s market is so bright and vibrant now. The tulips showed up a couple of weeks ago… The asparagus is the first sign of the good things to come. They let me know that stone fruit is just around the corner. Soon Frog Hollow peaches and pluots…
Sorry to my Midwest peeps out there but it’s a gorgeous day. It’s been a gorgeous week. My lettuce is leafing, my kale is getting bigger, my parsley is parsleying. We’re supposed to get more rain next week but it’s ok by me as long as we keep getting these wonderful spring-like breaks!
I don’t think I’d ever seen a Reed avocado before. I’m pretty sure I’d remember. I bought one for $5. Yes, just one. It was about the size as an infant’s head!! I made a batch of guacamole out of it for four of us and we couldn’t finish it there was so much. It…
I just finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Lifeby Barbara Kingsolver. I was completely inspired. So much so that I brought home a bag of bell peppers from my dads house. I hate bell peppers just about as much, if not more, than cheese. (If you’re curious, a list of everything I…
Update (February 2013) I’ve changed my approach to pho, now with more pork because that’s always better! Take 3-4 lbs of pork bones and roast them in the oven at 400° until they are golden. Put that in a pot with 6-8 cups of water instead of the chicken stock mentioned below. The rest of…
This week’s farmer’s market tartare got a little help from my new purchase, On the Line, Inside the World of Le Bernardin. The recipe I went for first is Seared and Marinated Yellowfin Tuna Tartare “Sandwich” with Ginger Oil. It was good choice. It wasn’t far from my usual Wednesday tartare but improved just enough…
I usually don’t make it to the store on Tuesday. Wednesday is Farmer’s market day so I try to just hold off and eat what we’ve got. Last night the fridge was pretty empty. But from the garden I picked this lovely plate of Brandywine tomatoes. I grow Winter garden, so I can pick things…
