Return to the Santa Monica Farmers Market
Finally back to the market after nearly 4 months…we tried two weeks ago but protests had it closed down (the same neighborhood had had looters)…there are still lots of boarded up windows:
But the market was busy even though its way spread out for distancing:
On of the prizes and purposes for the trip was mara des bois…from Harrys Berries
Pricey but he loves them.
I went for tomatoes and they finally are debuting:
Also found were lemon cucumbers and german butterballs.
And our first goat cheese in a long while.
This is the closest to normal i have felt in a while even with masks and spacing. I needed a brief moment to be happy….
Day 89 of cooking dinner at home…
Almost 90 days of no delivery and no restaurants…we have had delivery during work. But I have cooked our dinner for 89 days straight.
Day 89 was simple
Purple baby broccoli
And corn, marinated salmon and some tomato and cottage cheese. Pretty light–and i have gained the covid 5 so im trying to tone it back.
On day 88 its breakfast for dinner
We need to start eating more eggs as we have a bunch! So made some scrambled eggs with salsa, heated a cheese and chili tamale and roasted some potatoes.
The cheese is chipotle cheddar i had in hand. Added some cottage cheese and tomato to lighten it.
Added some roses from our yard
And a nice bottle of MUMM
On the 87 day of safer at home dinners i planned…
…to make eggs. Then i said, breakfast for dinner. Then i said sauerkraut and eggs. I googled that and actually found recipes but it led me to kimchi and eggs…..which ended up as kimchi pancake. Am i the only one that falls down that recipe rabbit hole?
So we had kimchi pancake
It was my first try so by no means perfect but this tasted YUM!
I googled korean squash and found something resembling this
I wanted something fresh so i grabbed an heirloom tomato and made a quick dressing of lime ponzu and mayo…it worked
85!! All tomatoes!!!
I pretty much finished the leftover pimiento cheese all on my own this afternoon.
For dinner..:
Leftover green tomatoes
Shrimp and cod in tomato with corn and squash
And..tomato sandwich.
Now that i wrote it out….i realize it was tomato, tomato, tomato….
84 a weekend cooking project
I was inspired today to make corn and crab cakes…because i had green tomatoes…so i also made some pimiento cheese as an appy.
While we snack on that, im attempting green tomatoes in the air fryer…
I also made crab cakes in the air fryer
With some dilled cucs
It was a nice project!!!!
Day 82 stuffed sqush
We finally ventured to the farmers market last weekend. Our first in a post covid world. They had 8 ball squash waiting to be stuffed.
I used this as my stuffing which worked out
I made a sort of mediterranean inspired salad and cooked the squash with tomato and peppers.
