FRESHNESS HAS ARRIVED!

What is in my first box from Farm Fresh to You? I thought you'd never ask!

 

10 oz Cranberries; 3lbs Butternut Squash; 2lbs Red Jonagold Apples; 2lbs Sweet Potato; 2 Meyer Lemons; 1.5lbs Fuyu Persimmons; 1.5lbs BokChoy; 1.5 lbs Leeks; 1 bunch Rainbow Chard; 1 bunch Red Beets; 1 bunch Collard Greens

 

So - I see several things in my future - - - a parsimmon/apple pie, a lovely side of braised greens with a nice chicken or pork dish, some mashed sweet potatoes, yayyayyayyayyay!

David and I are going to eat so well this weekend!

APPETIZER!

David and I are off to The Shannons for dinner tomorrow - we're taking an appetizer. Plump dates stuffed with minted feta and bacon. How could that taste combo go wrong? We'll have plenty of photos of Miss Kate, the food, the folks and Angus the puppy. and David's first play on the Shannon's new Wii :) all in all - it should be a fantastic day. :)

Pizza!

I made a fresh tomato mushroom pizza tonight - with strips of leftover parmesan encrusted pork loin. I wasn't happy with my crust - it ended up absorbing the tomatoes instead of crisping up. So the first couple of slices were crispy - but it soon was not. David was quick to point out that the flavor combos were wonderful and that it tasted great despite it's not quite coming together as pizza. It's my first go at homemade pizza in years and years.... so we were happy with the tasty pizza-like dinner we had. but - it's all about learning to do it differently/better another time right?
