Green Beans from our garden
Let's take a quick break from the trip recap for some food - I am sure the Dutch and Belgians would approve. We have cooked some really good meals lately, so I'd like to share them with you.
I love getting our food directly from the farmers. It makes a meal like this, risotto (rice not from farmers - but it is the only part that is from the store), broccoli rabe and squash, and pork milanese, that much better.
We have started using our grill again, now that it is summer. Last week we had grilled salmon with a Cajun rub and grilled zucchini with cous cous. So very good.
In honor of the symbolic start to summer, and because it is just darn good, we grilled burgers (meat from Ratchfod Farms here in AR) and whipped up a batch of the best potato salad in the world. And ate the green beans fresh from our garden. Ahh...
(I just realized that all these pictures are on the same plate. Hmm. We only have one red plate. Interesting. Well, it is a striking background to the food.)
Tomorrow we will return to the tour...
