I made the same thing on Monday only I meranaded it with ginger garlic and sesmme oil. also had grilled onion soup and mashed with basil and chives. I'm loving my areo garden the fresh herbs are great.

Thank you so much, guys !

Becky, if you get around to it could you post the recipe for the corn orzo that you posted a few pages back?

I am totally going to try that steak recipe. Super yum.

I never have time to get to the farmer's market, but the co-op has been delivering next door to my office. Every Wednesday, I am supposedly getting a box of produce, along with at least two servings of free-range meat and a dozen eggs. (I may switch to a half-dozen, though.) I am way excited for this, but I'll definitely need recipes for some of these treasures.

I made an awesome dinner over the weekend, and it was actually pretty enough for pictures. Shame on me for forgetting. I have to get better at that!

Tonight beer can chicken, avocado pesto fettecinee. and grilled vedgies I'll try to take a picture before the animal gets to it.

cake anyone?

Marybeth- I showed Chip the pic and he asked where you live. I said New jersey and he said he would drive to NJ for that cake.

I looks incredible!

it's very good. it called for blackberries but I had black and blueberries so I used both.

Here's where I got it from:

Wow, that cake looks terrific. I have a huge amount of blueberries in my fridge right now. I was going to make blueberry pancakes tomorrow, but maybe I'll make that cake instead!

Marybeth, here is the orzo recipe as it appeared in Food and Wine. I used less cream, and thinned the sauce with chicken stock:

Orzo with Creamed Corn Sauce

5 ounces orzo
1 1/3 cups cream
2 ears of corn, kernals removed, one cob reserved
1 tbsp. butter
1 leek, white part only, chopped
3 tbsp. white wine
chopped scallions

Cook the orzo until al dente, drain and reserve.

Boil the cream with the reserved corn cob and half of the corn kernals until thickened-about 10 minutes. Throw away the cob and puree the cream mixture until smooth.

Melt the butter and saute the leek until tender. Add the reserved corn kernals and saute two minutes. Add the orzo, cream sauce, and scallions to the pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

THANK YOU! No wonder I couldn't find it. I thought it was Bon Appetit!

Its the beginning of the attack of the tomatoes. Christine put in 12 plants plus two more in pots. With deer fencing we are getting a lot more fruit this year. Once I buy the squirrel trap our daily pick rate will probably hit 20. Time to start thinking about recipes. Any ideas?

In the past I've done Chris Schlesingers's Chilled Grilled Tomato Soup, canned peeled whole tomatoes and canned pizza sauce.

Cheers, RickG

I bought a bunch of cherry tomatoes at the farmers market and I plan to make this over the weekend.

And looking at that recipe it lead me to this:

yum!

Nice MB, I'm a pig for custard.

Tomato bread is another good idea.

We are going to start doing a good bit of drying too. Packing them in olive oil means they are ready for my salads and pizzas all year.
