 Just a couple nights ago, I wrote about how we never really eat breakfast so we had “breakfast” for dinner. Today we had breakfast and it was so simple and so ordinary that I wanted to share it. As well since we are have been doing the Eat Local Challenge, I have been receiving… the Eat Local Challenge. I actually got to spend the morning at the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market today. It has been years since I have really shopped this way and I really enjoyed it.

Roast it and add it to your mashed potatoes, make a lovely soup, bake it into a Galette, turn it into a creamy risotto inspired dish; the possibilities are [...] Thanks for the shout-out! I’m glad you liked the soup. I’m not too big a fan of licorice too, but I found the anise-yness of this quite subdued — hence, more for me to like. Oooh, thanks for making the recipe! Glad you guys liked it. =) I have been using fennel for years, but never as a main ingredient for soup. I am going to have to give this a try.  ……last night we took a little cocktail party over to Andy and Jeff’s house. They are getting married on tomorrow and we wanted to give them something in celebration of their special day. These guys are the the couple who have everything and really don’t need anything, as well they did not want anything. As… 3 comments What a great idea to celebrate the occasion. Well done! Your cocktail party fare looks fabulous! What a wonderful thing to do for them and doubly special considering your extra special care to serve only local and organic food. What a lovely way to celebrate their nuptials. Everything looks and sounds delicious. Prop 8 (which would ban Andy and Jeff’s right to marry) will now potentially pass in California. If you live there – vote NO on Prop 8 to support marriage equality. If you live someplace else, HRC will double your contributions today to help fight the negative attack ads playing in CA. https://secure.ga3.org/03/caequalpac_match/nXdw1I8KqNWOu? Help Andy and Jeff and countless others securely celebrate their commitment to a shared life. Give generously! the Eat Local Challenge.

Last week after we finished our dinner of Pancetta Chicken, I took the bones and leftover juices and froze them. Yesterday, I took them out of the freezer, [...] 2 comments hey, can i come over there for dinner? That looks awesome! The pimento is an inspired touch. I noticed that there was not much else in the way of spices though. Have you tried coriander with butternut squash? I find it works very well.  I have to apologize for such a short post. It is late, I am tired, spin class kicked our butts! So here it is …. Eat Local Challenge, Day 3 for us. Late night, late dinner. I love cauliflower soup and Lenny likes it after tonight. I have yet to find the perfect recipe; 1 comment Looks delicious – hoping for the recipe soon. |
