Fava greens & Pancetta, over pasta (small amount of pasta)

So the fava greens started off with a mild grassy flavor but quite watery, but after cooking they absorbed a number of flavors and tended to add a mild bitter background flavor. Pretty good, but that could've been the 3oz of pancetta.

Spicy Italian Cheeseburgers

A little funk on the cheese, a little spice with the peppers (Mama Lil's via The Cheese Shop). It was a pretty nice fit over all. I was happy with the way that this turned out. Trying not to bug Joseph with my bread requests right now, I bought some kaiser buns from a new source...they were ok. But even with that this was a pretty good meal.

Ham Steak with Chive Blossom Parsnip Pureee

I bought some lovely stored parsnips from Grinnell Heritage Farms, then thought hey, I could use some chive blossom chevre (Reichert's Dairy) in here. It came together really well. Then you combine that with some delicious ham steak (Crooked Gap / Story City Locker) and a good helping of arugula (Cleverley Farms). Fantastic dinner.

Grilled Ham and Cheese with Tapenade

I had it with what, I suppose is somewhat like a lazy man's tapenade (didn't put in the effort that I should've) and Shannon did not. Beyond that some delicious cheese and some La Quercia Prosciutto...om nom nom.

Spinach and Feta Breakfast Scramble

Simple, pretty quick and good.
