It’s 8. Yes, we ate all the leeks from the farmstand last week in a potato and leek soup. Here are the leeks, chopped and soaking in a bowl of water, de-sanding themselves. I steamed the leftover romanesco and served it atop the soup, drizzling hemp seed oil around it. The presentation appealed to the kids, and they ate it up. I braised the rest of the carrots in honey and butter, based on a recipe from Deborah Madison’s cookbook (which I HIGHLY recommend). Ford made honey whole wheat bread. Yum. Chas won’t let me type much more than this, every task is getting interrupted with bouts of constipation and running snot.But tomorrow is market day again, so I’m looking forward to stocking up again on agrarian sights and smells. And vegetables. Hopefully, Amy will meet us there, again? Hopefully the kids will be better. Hopefully Chas will finally POOP….
Plein air paintings, studio art and lessons
Constipation… no fun.
And I see a 6 and a 7 in the soup!
Hmm, a snotty nosed boy #1 and a backed up boy #2 – you make it sound so tempting… Just kidding. My fingers are crossed – Bea is still well so we’re planning on going. Your kids are quite the gourmets — your dinner sounds great.
