Well, first blog of my life. The wife said we should post blogs of our cooking that we do at home. Why not? It will be totally fin (fun in our language). So today the lady and I discussed what we should do today and I said we should eat up all the great things I bought yesterday from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. What an incredible day it was at the market. Stone Fruits are in full flourish( Peaches, Plums, Pluots, Nectarines, Cherries, Apricots). Cherry Tomatoes and Green Beans from Gloria, Amazing summer squash from Mark and Mary Ann at Coastal Organics (Love these two). David sold me an amazing Porcini Mushroom for 10 bucks (Family Deal). Also picked up two melons from Alex at Wieser (first of the season). Some purselene from Flora Bella and a couple of beautiful torpedo onions from Barbara at Windrose Farms. Sometimes I can't believe that I live walking distance from one of the best Farmer's Markets in the country.
Lunch: Grilled Porcini Mushroom (Thyme, EVOO, Gray Salt, Pepper) w/ Green Beans, Marinated Cherry Tomatoes (Shallot, Sherry Vin, EVOO), and Persulene. So Good.
Dinner: Seared Ahi Tuna (MR) w/ Basil Puree, Charred Torpedo Onions, Summer Squash, Torn Bread Croutons, some nice Red Wine Vin. Ate this with a 2007 Grenache Blanc from Curran in the Santa Ynez Valley. One of the 20 or so bottles the wife picked up on her solo get away to the central coast. Beautiful wines, yea we've kinda made a dent in our supply, gotta live life right. Right?
congradulation on your first blog...i'll be a faithful follower:)
ReplyDeleteeverything looks fabulous as usual. ah, how i cherish farmers market days...they are finally starting up here, as we're too north for the year-round goodness. although this year we had a beautiful crop of mushrooms pop up in our backyard...after much deliberation and research we finally decided they were safe, something close to a portabello. (i made blake try them first!) success!
i look forward to more, chef Noah.
