a great morning in the kitchen so far. Another large batch of touroulou in the oven .. what’s not to love about sweet potatoes, eggplant, onions, parsely, garlic, a touch of hot peppers and olive oil ALL from chatham county (except the olive oil) Plus a secret stash of Screech’s fairy eggplants .. so cute I may have to stuff them instead of chopping and making moussaka. More veggie news – we got another good size batch of swiss chard and will be making yet another batch of greens bake. The other news? we scored some super sweet amazing carrots from Cindy at Caliburn Farms. I am debating whether to add coconut milk to the cold soup or leave it as is .. it will be good either way! So many lovely veggies this time of year – it’s hard to choose what to cook! To top off the beautiful food choices, we have both Cohen Farm beef shoulders and pork roasts for the blue plate today! life is good in the kitchen.
SMOOTHIE UPDATE – today we’ll have black raspberries, strawberries and blueberries (all local) plus banana and pineapple. come in for a fresh cool drink!
