2/16/13 " Breakfast for Dinner? "

 

Sorry I've been out of action, so much going on right now, not getting enough time for myself to cook, and shoot...

Here's some more off camera flash play'n.

  

Today we had another great food day, grabbing a killer fried chix sandwich at bake sale betty's, then strolling around the farmers market. Bits of this dish inspired by our valentines day dinner. Scored some amazing, and i say," AMAZING BERKSHIRE PORK" . This pork is a heritage breed, pastured raised in Capay Valley up north near SAC. Will def go back for more of this Buck'n Pork from Range Brothers!!!

 

Organic Purple Potato, Parmesan, and Meyer Lemon Gratin, with Berkshire Breed (Kurobuta) Smoked Bacon, Sunny Side Cage Free Farm Eggs, Pan Seared Wild Mushroom Mix (Trumpet Royale, White Beech, Hon-shemeji, Velvet Pioppini , and Hedgehog ), Organic Cabbage, Chard, Collard Green Saute with Organic Caramelized Sweet Onion. Contains: Pork, Eggs, Milk.

 

Purple Potato, Parmesan, Meyer Lemon Gratin Recipe:

 

2# Purple Potato sliced thin, skin on

3 Cups Heavy Cream

3 Cloves Garlic, Smashed

1 Sprig Thyme

Salt Pepper to Taste

2 each Meyer Lemon Zest

1 Cup Fresh Shaved Parmesan

 

Add all to 9x9 baking dish, season in layers, bake at 350F for 1-1.5 hours.

 

I thought the lemon brought this gratin over the top. I had a master recipe in school i've been using for over 10 years, rumored to be straight from Bocuse himself.. This past valentines day, i've tasted a gratin with a hint of lemon... and now the rest is history.... SO F"n GOOD!!

Fowles Wine is an award winning family owned winery located in the Strathbogie Ranges, Victoria, Australia. The Strathbogie Ranges has been established as a wine region for nearly half a century and craft a range of cool climate wines within six core brands: The Rule, The Exception, Ladies who Shoot their Lunch, Are you Game?, Stone Dwellers and 490metres.

 

This Pinot Noir is vibrant cherry red in color. The nose is filled with strawberries, cherry & spicy oak. The palate is fruit forward and rich. A lovely, balanced Pinot Noir with soft acid & silky tannins.

 

Notes from Wine Spectator: Perfumed, with dried rose petal and lavender notes up front that give way to a linear, focused expression of cherry and raspberry flavors at the core. Fresh herb accents emerge on the taut finish. Drink now through 2028.

 

I think this wine would go great with a grilled burger topped with brie cheese and a raspberry jalapeno jam

An active 4Her in livestock and meat judging competitions, Jerri Parker started her cow herd in high school with land rented from a neighbor. She now operates a diversified farm in Cromwell, Oklahoma, with hoop houses, vegetables, chickens, eggs, and beef. And over the years, the farm's "GJ Natural Beef" has been sold at local health food stores, farmers markets, Oklahoma Food Coop, and in her on farm store.

 

Jerri passed her 4H experience and passion for farming on to Calvan, her youngest child, who was managing over 300 laying hens by high school graduation - now a part of the family farm. A mom and retired teacher, Jerri now invests time in farming watermelons and cantaloupes for a Farm to School program. She is working with the USDA Natural Resources Service to contruct a 30 x 96 foot hoop house to expand the Farm to School program produce.

 

Jerri says: “I want folks to ‘know their farmer.’ To truly know the person raising your food, know their practices, know their values. With this farmer, (pointing to herself) you become part of my family."

Week 10 ~ Fruity Things

I need a young priest....and, an old priest!

Those who know me know that I get excited about pretty simple things sometimes. Not the least of which is fresh produce. While visiting the farmers market in Ithaca, NY on our vacation I came across some very amazing produce. So, before making it into that nights meal I made sure to celebrate its beauty with a shot for the history books.

CSAs (community supported agriculture groups) have nothing on these guys. The floating markets of the Mekong Delta are an amazing sight.

It was 2013, and Courtney (my wife) and I were your typical, 30-something American couple. In respectable, 9-to-5 desk jobs, we were climbing the professional ladder, saving for a house, and talking about starting a family.

 

Instead, we quit their jobs, put everything into storage, and left our home in Washington, D.C., in search of adventure, personal fulfillment, and good eats. We spent a year motorcycling through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. We hiked the Himalaya in Northern India. We explored the outer reaches of Indonesia, drove across the empty quarter, and much more.
