Week 88 Menu

We were invited to dinner this evening at someone's home and had an amazing meal. This couple is way into food and cooking. They served a delicious vegetable soup, olive polenta with mushrooms, GOAT (yes, you heard me, goat) with veggies we've never eaten before, and a very fancy french dessert. Seriously, this meal was amazing. They plated all of the food, so it was beautiful, and it was fun to try completely new foods. I can promise you tonight's menu will never show up on my weekly plan, but we so appreciated it. Thanks, Sheryl & Jason!

Sadly I did not have my camera with me. So, close your eyes and just imagine what dinner would have been like. Isn't it lovely?

Sheryl & Jason participate in a fruit/veggie CSA (community-supported agriculture) and a meat CSA. Their way of cooking is pretty much opposite of mine - they don't know what food they're going to get each week and then they just figure out what to cook as they go along. It's quite impressive and definitely a fresh, healthy way to eat.

I am WORDY tonight. Sorry! One last thing...I didn't cook dinner ONCE last week. It was a FANTASTIC birthday week. :) So, lots of carry-overs...but this week I'm back in the game.
