So, here's what we've been up to this week. We got our bi-weekly box of yummy things from Full Circle Farms. If you sign up in Anchorage, Seattle or any of the nearby areas...which you should...we are happy to be the referral for you (hint hint). In this week's box was some yummy rainbow chard. So i made a cream of rainbow chard for dinner one night--super tasty. no pics of it, but some pretty pics of the stems. It was a simple heavy cream reduction with fresh ground pepper and salt. Blanched the chard for two minutes. DELICIOUS. It was followed by a southwestern chicken salad the next night over a combo of argula and romaine. I made a rub for the chicken from chili powder, garlic salt, paprika, corriander, salt and pepper. I know, right about now anyone who knows me is thinking--where did mar go. mar doesn't cook. well my dears the only thing i hate more than cooking is studying for the bar. so now i cook. I'm collecting baking stuff too. the wishlist is a Kitchenaid mixer, silicone mat, and those little bowls for soufles n stuff. Tana, Dhab and Dev got me this AMAZING dessert cookbook as a bridal shower present and i am so excited to have time for making this stuff starting next week.
Anyways back to the box, we got some yummy cilantro...some of which i'm keeping fresh for a few weeks and some of which i'm storing for the months ahead...in ice cubes. seriously.
In other food related news, Adam made tacos yesterday. After a few minutes of preparation, a faint, "i think there might be too much cheese" floated out of the kitchen. You can decide for yourselves:
