Hi All, I am not in the kitchen this week as I drove up to Seattle for the International Food Blogger Conference and to spend a little time with friends and family. So, while I’m listening to speakers, tasting delicious food, fine beverage and playing dress up with all of my mom’s old jewelry from the 80’s, I have picked out a small selection of my favorite posts for your reading pleasure. I’ll see you soon! Cheers, Erin Cannelini Bean Parmesan Pancakes Speck, Nectarines and Quark Three Ways
I used to hate tomato soup. I had it once as a kid and never could understand why it was so sweet and completely unlike any tomato I’d ever had and so I always avoided it. A few years back I decided to create a soup that imbued everything I love about tomatoes topped with a little bacon for fun.
It’s that time of year everyone. That time we yearn for in February when the only thing in season is another damned root vegetable. That time of year when my mother knows to find my dad having a snack out in his tomato patch. Hooray for that time of year! On Wednesday evening Phil and I went to the Petaluma Farmer’s Market and I loaded up on the most gorgeous plump Early Girl tomatoes. The tomato guy gave me a wink and sent us off to continue our shopping with an extra tomato he slipped in my bag when his wife wasn’t looking. Of course the plout lady didn’t really like that and proceeded to accuse him of selling me hothouse tomatoes and tried to convince me to buy from her next time. I said thanks, but I’ve never seen dirt like this on a hothouse tomato before. I think she was just jealous since her supply was pretty meager. I love the Petaluma Farmer’s Market, but a few of the vendors are a little too cutthroat for my taste. Did I ever tell you about the vinegar lady? A story for another time. I digress. |
