Tomorrow is the first day of Sept. Summer has flown by and now we are
reaping the harvest of all the delicious, fresh produce from local area farmers.
Last friday night we did a five course farm dinner. There were pickled vegetables,
eggplant gratin, summer squash timbale with green chile cream, green beans with
roasted garlic and orange, five kinds of baby potatoes and a delicious goat milk
flan with fresh peaches and raspberries. I loved the comment that one woman
made after she ate 'I'm so full I can hardly walk'. It feels so good to have been
able to satisfy people.
We're looking forward to a late harvest of Heirloom tomatoes which is beginning
to start this week. We will make our popular tomato salad with basil pesto vinaigrette,
green beans, lettuces and grilled bread. And then winter squash will come on. Fall
foods are my very favorite. I look forward to making butternut squash tart with toasted
cumin and gruyere cheese.
