BAT (Jowl Bacon, Arugula, Tomato) and maybe C (Chevre)
Tomatoes! Yay for fresh tomatoes! Anyways, this was a nice local combination of products. We used some multigrain wheat (La Mie), black pepper Chevre (Reichert's) , Jowl Bacon (Crooked Gap), Arugula (Cleverley Farms), and a pretty tomato (Grade A Gardens). Came together to make a delicious sandwich.
Crooked Gap Brats
nom.
Spicy Peanut Noodles with Ground Pork and Shredded Vegetables
So I had a bit more ground pork and a bit more noodles that the recipe called for but didn't beef up the sauce and etc, as I should've. So I suspect it was a bit blander than it should've been, but still god. After I added a dash or 3 of Sriracha, it was really good.
Crooked Gap Green Onion Sausage, Peppers and Onions
So this worked, but because I was cleaning out the fridge and ended up more as a sloppy joe sort of hybrid, rather what I intended (dryer), but still ended up being a good thing.
Chicken Salad with Fennel and Fennel Fronds (we'll see how this works)
From Cleverley Farms, I got a young fennel with gentle smelling fennel fronds. So I made a normalish chicken salad and then added some chopped up fronds and a bit of the fennel itself. So It was good, and perhaps I had to heavy of a hand with the fennel. Which is fair. I often go overboard then dial back. But I could see how if it was balanced right, it could make for a good version. I'll have to try it again.
Lemon Curd Chevre on French Toast
So this turned out remarkably well. So Lois made a wonderful product with the lemon curd chevre. And after tasting it, I kept thinking of things to do with it. Nathan suggested a danish (which would be truly fantastic. So lets go into this a bit, it does have that lemon curd flavor, but it also has that distinctly savory flavor on the undertones. So sweet and savory. So what I did was I bought a couple of loaves of La Mie challah (they're smaller than I remember) and then proceeded to make my normal french toast (milk, eggs, cinnamon and a dash of sugar) and after finishing all of the first loaf of bread (didn't go to the second), I took the french toast out of the oven and spread a layer of the lemon curd chevre between two pieces, added butter and syrup on the top. I was very pleased with the results. Good stuffs.
