Bacon and Scallion Farrotto

Delayed.

Hot Pepper Noodles

Made these last night.  Very quick to make.  Though the "hot" in the title of this recipe doesn't make a ton of sense to me.  Yes it was physically hot, but it was not really spicy.  I added some sriracha which gave it some of the heat needed.  Anyways, it was really fast to make and pretty good.

Pancakes

Finally the weather cooperated and it made sense to make pancakes...in the evening.  I finished off a bottle of the syrup we had, and Shannon cracked into the Great River Maple syrup.  This was shortly followed by a request to stock up on some more before the Farmers Market closes up for the year.  So I will do so.

Hasenpfeffer

Rabbit.  Rabbit rabbit.  So The rabbit raising has been a project of Ethan's (of Crooked Gap) son Caleb.  Certainly meaty, a bit cute (which is why Shannon didn't want to look at them the other week when we were at the farm) and I really enjoyed it.  However, I suspect Hasenpfeffer can be a divisive dish.  I had mine, with a bit of beer, and really enjoyed it (despite a few little bones, which I suspect is due to the way I broke down the rabbit).  This is how I expect it would be served and because of the heritage of the dish.  However, Shannon, not being a beer drinker, did not, and while the discussion on the dish may be related to the gaminess of it, we both agreed that next go round, we'll try something in a stew.  So I pleased myself, but Shannon wasn't a fan.  But I will try again.

Goat Brats

It's been a while, due to budget constraints / running out of money, I've been trying not to be tempted by the meats at La Ventosa Ranch, however this past weekend, due to the farm crawl, I had extra money, so I picked up a few items, and reserved a turkey for Thanksgiving.
