BATs (Bacon, Arugula, and Tomato)

So I ordered some La Quercia meats at their annual event at, and that included some bacon (they call it Smoked Prosciutto, but used to call it bacon).  That with some tomatoes from Blue Gate and some Arugula from Cleverley Farms and some La Mie bread.  A great intro to the season.  The only sad not here is that I have no tomatoes right now.  I will be taking some bacon out of the freezer for the purpose of hopefully getting some tomatoes sometime this week even if it's late in the week.

Mini-Pizzas with Quark, Comte, 'Nduja and fried potatoes

So this was the suggestion of Brent and CJ at the cheese shop.  It was ridiculous good.  Again I may have added too much cheese, but the combination of flavors included the mildly fried, then baked sliced potatoes, combined with the La Quercia 'Nduja, quark and comte...holy crap.  Anyways, hooray for the Cheese Shop and the wonderful people inside.

Brats with Green Chile

Simple meal for a prep to go To CR.  Good stuffs.

Pork Loin Chops with Green Chile

I admit, I forgot about the chile, but it was still quite good.  I cooked the pork loin chops so they had a nice sear on them, and served them with some corn, with an arugula and feta salad.
