market week: burgers + confetti corn + salad

Last night was the big kick off to market week and I can attest, our meals were practically licked clean. Let's start with the burgers, which weren't just any old burgers. I used a blend of ground beef and ground pork to make some super juicy and flavorful patties. Then I used one of my yellow onions to make delicious caramelized onions. But wait, that's not all my friends. This is the kicker, if you look really hard you can see creamy mayonaise spread on the top of that bun. Oh yeah, I finally bit the bullet and made homemade mayo, which was one of my 30/30 items. Let's just take a time out and talk about mayo. It has always weirded me out... it's white and jiggly and I just didn't get it. But some people love it, one being my husband. Slowly I've tried it here and there, especially when it's disguised as garlic aioli. I thought if I actually made it myself, I might feel better about it. I do. But I have to say the thing that surprised me most about it was how incredibly easy it was to make it. I mean like crazy easy! You might die if you realize how much oil is involved, but it doesn't take much more work or time than unscrewing the lid of jar.So that's the burger. On the side is a super delicious corn medley, comprised of sweet corn, peppers, onion and a little basil. The medley is so surprisingly delicious, or at least to me it was surprising. I still find myself a little caught off guard when I really love something with vegetables... I think that's a holdover from a childhood spent avoiding them at all costs. Then of course I've included a little arugula salad sprinkled with some purple basil. It was a good dinner, one where both Aaron and I felt spoiled. Confetti Corn adapted from Barefoot Contessa, Back to Basics serves 4 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup chopped green pepper 1/4 cup chopped red onion 1 Tablespoon butter kernels cut from 2 ears of corn salt pepper 1 Tablespoon fresh basil, julienned 1 Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. 2 Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is soft. 3 Add the pepper and saute for 2 more minutes. 4 Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. 5 Over medium heat, add the corn with a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes. 6 Gently stir in the basil and serve hot.

happy hour: 30/30 list perfect margarita

Woohoo! It's that time of week again and I am so ready! Next week is market week which should be a blast. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest! Remember to post photos to our flickr page. Before we start market week, I have something to celebrate... I have perfected my margarita, which was one of my to-dos on my 30/30 list. I've posted a few margaritas before, but I have a dirty little secret to admit. Ok, it's not super dirty so don't get all excited, but up until now I've been using Triple Sec instead of Cointreau. You hard-core cocktail folks are probably cringing, but it was cheaper and I thought it was the same. My biggest revelation: it's not the same. Cointreau has a much more flavorful citrus taste and really is a key component to a good margarita. After trying different proportions, I've concluded that the recipe below is my perfect margarita. It's hard work, but someone's got to do it. Cheers! Have a great weekend! Perfect Margarita from Dale Degroff 1 1/2 oz 100% agave tequila 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice 1/2 oz Cointreau 1/4 oz agave syrup kosher salt ice lime wedge to garnish 1 Place a tablespoon or two of salt on a plate. Rub the lip of your glass with a lime and dip in the salt. 2 Add ice to glass and set aside. 3 Combine tequila, lime juice, agave, ice and Cointreau in a separate glass and give it a good shake. Pour over ice and say cheers!

market week!

Alright friends, it's that time again. Next week I'll be doing my annual market week celebration/challenge and I hope you'll join me. What's funny is that after 3 years of doing this, market week has become more of an every week kind of thing for me, which I find exciting. Although cooking each weeknight in August heat is not the norm, so there will still be challenges! If you're not familiar with it, here's a little background. On Saturday we'll go to the local farmer's market (or roadside stand or whatever you have near you) and pick up groceries for the week. Then we'll photograph the bounty, admiring the lovely fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy. Finally we'll make five dinners made (almost) entirely from local ingredients. I say almost because no one's going to get in trouble for using sugar or spices or whatever they want, the goal is just to make things that focus on local, seasonal ingredients. You can check out last years flickr page, where we posted photos from around the country. If you have a flickr account you can simply join the group and add your photos. You can also check out some of the past market weeks here. Woohoo! It's going to be fun!

tomatoes, basil + ricotta

Oh boy, the tomatoes are coming and I am so ready! I just couldn't resist these beauties when I saw them and immediately thought they were destined to be the star of the show. Then I found some purple basil and thought maybe they could co-star, because that basil was just too pretty to pass up too! So with these in mind, I set out to make a super simple little salad that was as delicious as it was pretty. I picked up a tub of my favorite ricotta from the market near my house and whipped it with a fork to make it a little lighter. I'm mildly obsessed with adding lemon zest to my ricotta since first tasting it a few months ago... if you haven't tried it, you're missing out. After the cheese was ready I simply sliced my lovely heirloom tomatoes and basil, then arranged the tomatoes on a plate. A few plops of ricotta, a sprinkle of basil and a little drizzle of olive oil and sea salt and this number was ready to eat; no stove or oven required. And let me tell you, each bite was incredible. The tomatoes, fat and juicy with flavor, paired with the citrusy richness of the ricotta is like a little piece of summer heaven. tomatoes + ricotta 4 heirloom tomatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices 1/2 cup ricotta cheese juice of 1 lemon zest of half a lemon 5-6 basil leaves, rolled and sliced olive oil about 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 In a small bowl, combine ricotta, lemon juice and lemon zest. Using a fork, whip the cheese until the zest and juice are incorporated and the cheese feels lighter, about 1 minutes. 2 Slice tomatoes and arrange on a plate. 3 Gently place teaspoons of ricotta over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the slices of basil. 4 Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the ingredients.

read: farm city by novella carpenter

It's been a long time since I've written about a book I read. That's not because I haven't been reading, or that any of those books weren't good. It's mostly because I'm a little bit lazy and a little bit forgetful. But I just couldn't keep this book to myself... I just loved it. To be honest, I've been in a slight summer book rut, where I'll start a book get through a chapter or two then find a magazine to read and ultimately just stop reading the book. Lame, I know. The thing about Farm City is that I didn't even bring my magazines on the train with me because I looked forward to reading it. It was like a nice little treat to start and end the day with. The book follows Novella Carpenter as she moves to inner-city Oakland and has a crazy idea to start an urban farm. This isn't just a little farm, it's got the prerequisite fruit and vegetables that she shares with the neighborhood, but she also keeps bees, chickens, turkeys, rabbits and pigs. We're taken on a journey as she creates friendships with the different oddball characters in her neighborhood, foragers food for her animals and even butchers some of those animals. Carpenter writes as if you're right there with her, celebrating her victories and cheering her on when times aren't so awesome. I don't think I have quite the courage or will to do many of the things she did, but I'm so glad she did and wrote about it. It's a good book. A really good book. I hope you like it as much as I did.

500mg Amoxicillin
