I think that each week, our starting time at the farmer’s markets are getting earlier and earlier, because I’ve been wanting to get done with all three markets before 10am so my day isn’t shot. We were dead tired because of a late night of firework and watching Rick Springfield at the Dublin festivities last […]
Knowing that this weekend is ComFest, and the Pride parade, and that there’s a gaming convention going on as well, our goal this morning was to get to the North Market as early as possible, and get done as quickly as possible so we could avoid the crowds - our main priorities were to get our […]
Homegrown Gourmet is a food blogging event that highlights local products and cuisine - the point is to interpret the theme in the most local way possible.
This month’s theme is pasta, and I took it to a whole other level by combining the best parts of a pasta salad and a chef’s salad by making […]
Happy solstice, everyone! For better or worse, summer is finally here. Up at the crack of dawn again, and we made our way out to the North Market before 8am. It looks like strawberries are winding down (last week they’ll be available until fall from what I understand), and today I found these […]
Every time that I think I’ve got my husband figured out, he does something that surprises me and makes me fall in love with him all over again. If food is love, this dish is obsession. My husband volunteered to make this week’s recipe for One Local Summer, and he truly outdid himself. This came […]
We got another super-early start to our Saturday market crawl, but I was a bit more cranky than usual, in part due to lack of sleep, but also because it was pretty darn warm and humid even at 8am. First stop was the North Market, where I didn’t have to stand in line to get […]
My dish for the first week of One Local Summer is a holdover from a couple of weeks ago (when we were smack dab in the middle of ramp/morel season) that I haven’t had a chance to blog about quite yet - but it truly is my first all-local meal of the year.
The ribeye steak […]
There’s no feeling in the world like going into your own yard and harvesting your own produce. This year, I’ve planted quite a few things, and already, just a few weeks later, I’m starting to realize the fruits (literally!) of that labor.
I know it’s not much, but it’s as fresh as it gets. And will […]
Well, it’s been a rather busy weekend (the grill finally arrived, more about that later) so now is the first opportunity I’ve had to sit down and talk about my trip to the farmer’s markets yesterday. To say that yesterday was a breathtakingly beautiful day would be an understatement. Clear as a bell, not too […]
One of my goals for this year is to find more local sources for food, and to step outside of my normal routine in regards to which farmers markets I go to. After all, each market has its own look and feel and set of vendors, and I just might be missing out on something […]
