My Market Year(s)

So – a bit of a mistake Saturday night – I forgot to put the memory card back in my camera.  I shot some lovely pictures of the Market Dinner I made but they are all in my memory and none in my computer.  The picture of the butterfly that has been hanging out with us while we eat will have to do.

We have a morning ritual after I return from the market.  I bring home pastries from Madison Sourdough Company‘s booth at the top of State Street.  They make their pastries with their croissant dough.  They are flakey, a little chewy and not overly sweet.   We have tea and pastries about 10:30, and now that the weather is nice, we take tea in the garden.

We made the Asparagus with Poached Eggs dinner again last week.  This time a made a simple cannellini bean salad for a side dish.  If you start with my Cannellini Bean recipe, this is a quick and easy side dish.

Finally – the missing picture dinner.  We grilled trout and potatoes.  The trout was prepped with a tarragon gastric.  Another very simple dish to prepare.  The gastric adds a slightly sweet and tangy flavor to the fish.   Wish I had pictures for you.  The potatoes where first boiled in salted water until just fork tender then they were tossed with ground chipotle pepper and olive oil.  They were then grilled (cooked a second time).  The grilling add smoke and crisps the skins and outside.  They turned out smokey and spicy with crispy outside and soft insides.

I’ll double check the memory card this time.
