Local Meal Week #5
I'm having trouble focusing on writing this post because the mosquito bites on my legs are driving me nuts. Scratching isn't enough. I want to take a melon baller and scoop them out, arghhhhh!
That's probably not the best mental image to have as I'm about to describe food. For my SSFC local meal this week, I'm posting a Meatless Monday meal from a couple of weeks ago. We had a nice full plate of veggies that came from the farmers' market and our own backyard.
The cooked the new potatoes up with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary from the garden. I used up the last of the asparagus for the season, steamed up with onion and squash from my own garden. We added the red and yellow hothouse tomatoes in at the end. It's nice and colorful, no?
I'm starting to see a lot more fruit at the farmers' markets and am anxious for watermelon. You can read about the Local Meal challenge here, and this link will take you to a summary of the others' meals.

Looks delish! We subscribe to an every-other-week veggie share, and it's always a treat to pick of the box and find out what's inside. Nothing like fresh, organic produce!
ReplyDeleteI agree! We've thought of doing veggie shares, but with just 2 of us, I think a lot of stuff might go to waste. I think it would be fun to get boxes of produce and not know what's going to be in there.
DeleteTomorrow we will explore a new vegetable shop. We are promised some organic produce ...
Deleteyumm! that looks so super tasty!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Was very easy to make too.
DeleteAh now theres a reason to be glad its winter - at least the mosquitos have gone away from a while....plate looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! And yes, winter brings a reprieve from the evil mosquitoes, that's a great way to think positively about the cold weather!
DeleteNice meal. I love potatoes with rosemary. Such a nice flavor combo. Your whole plate looks great. well done! We do have mosquitoes in S. Tx but in MN we used to call the Mosquito the State bird. I do not miss them. The few we have is plenty for me. The dang blasted chiggers I could do without.
