Comments on: Farm Fresh and Local Produce – 7/5/08 http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/07/05/farm-fresh-and-local-produce-070508/ Eating my way through Ohio one day at a time Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:04:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bear http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/07/05/farm-fresh-and-local-produce-070508/comment-page-1/#comment-55251 Bear Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:41:24 +0000 http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/07/05/farm-fresh-and-local-produce-070508/#comment-55251 So, what is the story with Blue Jacket? They seem to be quite the moving target. I thought I'd be seeing them at North Market, but not so much... and they seem to be coming out with a new cheese or two every week these days, which I can't imagine they'll sustain for all that long. (Do they still have the older flavors, or is what's there on a given week sort of catch-as-catch-can?) Mad props to them for innovation, and for garlic cheese (hell, garlic anything is a win in my book). I'd just like to be able to GET their cheese on a more regular basis....

(Not that the color will show up after it's cooked, but still...) My favorite way to cook chard is to cut out the stems and dice them and one onion into fairly small pieces. Saute them together in olive oil with salt, pepper and garlic until they start to brown. Then add the leaves - cut into medium size pieces and saute until everything is tender- about 10 minutes more. Really easy and really yummy! A lot or recipes for chard will tell you to cut out the stems, but I think that’s a shame with rainbow chard cause it’s SO pretty!!
