Welcome to my blog.

Welcome to my blog. I hope that it is entertaining and informative. Or, well, at least entertaining. My goals are to use as many polysyllabic words as possible to exercise my vocabulary, and to record the delicious things I cook for dinner, as well as my (mis)adventures in trying to start an organic farm.

Friday night I thought we were out of food and did not know what to cook for dinner. I threw together some tomato sauce with eggs and parmesan, snap peas with truffle butter, and bread and olive oil.

Saturday after doing our shopping at the grocery store, I realized I couldn't make any of our recipes as they all needed items from the Sunday morning farmers' market! We had king crab legs with butter (on a great sale), potato salad (with olive oil, mustard, and spring onions), and corn with tarragon butter (tarragon from our balcony!).

Sunday, Enrique made the greatest shrimp po' boys (with spicy remoulade, cabbage and tomato) and we had leftover potato salad and a Mediterranean salad with lemon vinaigrette. Nice salad dressing. Po' boys could have been spicier, though.

Today, I made caprese salad (heirloom tomatoes, skim mozzarella, and basil) and pesto w/ hazelnuts on whole wheat spaghetti. Pretty delicious and tons of olive oil.

More delicious tomato and basil dishes soon!
