Day Four

As you can see, dinner tonight was amazing, and the best part was that I didn't even have to cook! My sweetheart Stanley gets full credit for this meal.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again - the pork that we get from The Rustic Table, our meat CSA, is out of this world. Seriously. It is from heritage Mulefoot hogs raised on pasture - and oh my god, is it good. He grilled it with just a little parsley. The flavor of the meat is so outstanding it really doesn't need any fancy seasonings.

He also grilled some sweet corn that our neighbors dropped off - they grew it! The potatoes are cooked with sunflower oil and sage, in a pan on the grill. (can you tell Stanley likes to grill? He's really good at it, so I can't complain.) No one else in the house likes straight tomato, so I had to eat all of one of the giant Candystripes all by myself. No trouble at all... the flavor of these tomatoes is outstanding - sweet, relatively low acid, yum.

Breakfast was the same as previous days: yogurt, blueberries, raspberries, flax seeds, and honey. Boring I know, but I thrive on routine in the morning.

I forgot to bring anything to work for lunch, but lucky for me the Willy Street Deli has a few 100% local salads on the menu this month (did I mention that I manage that deli?). I had a salad of potatoes, sorrel, and sunflower oil; and also a "Wisconsin Caprese" salad, with tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, and sunflower oil. I love to cook, but it's nice to have other people prepare food for me once in a while!
