1/28-Friday- DBF & I feasted on the remaining leftovers from the wonderful week of cooking we had. We ate the last of the truffle mashed potatoes & other odds & ends hanging around in the fridge.
1/29-Saturday- We spent the entire day with DBF's family for his mother's wedding! We started off with a breakfast of eggs & toast at home, but ate the rest of our food at the reception. I made a mostly organic, local as possible, dark chocolate raspberry cheesecake for the event which was a great hit!
1/30-Sunday- Farmers' Market day!!! And a good thing, too! Our fridge is looking pretty bare. We've done a great job of eating up our Market & CSA bounty from the beginning of the week & of polishing-off the leftovers! We weren't sure we'd be able to eat a whole CSA box in a week & were actually thinking of going bi-weekly, but our reserves show that a box a week is right about on par with our appetites! We did our usual ritual of grabbing a bite to eat at Fresh Flours in Ballard & eating breakfast while making a lap of the market. Yesterday some friends joined us & we had fun perusing the market together. They even picked-out their wedding bands yesterday from one of the jewelers there! We didn't need a whole lot from the market, but picked up eggs, ground beef, onion, Camembert cheese (which was on super sale!), duck ravioli, & a small truffle. I'm looking forward to seeing what yummy combinations we can come up with this week!
1/31-Our CSA arrived this morning, waiting on the doorstep for us at 7am like magic!
Not bad for $35! This week we shall feast like royalty! :)This week's haul:
Red potatoes Sunchokes (no idea what these are, but can't wait to try them!) Shallots Gala Apples Rainbow Carrots Bosc Pears D'Anjou Pears Broccolette Oranges Lemons Cremini Mushrooms
