Sweet! Potato Salad

Sweet Potato Salad

With a cold rain currently falling outside and 4 previous days of high temperatures below 80 degrees, it's time to face facts, fall is upon us. Although the summer harvest is still kicking for a couple more weeks, I think it's about time we settle into reality and look to the months ahead. Possibly the most exciting part of this change for me, aside from the upcoming election (yes, it is possible to stare at an election map for three hours straight), is the sweet potato's return to my regular diet.

A Potato Salad to Write Home About

BBBQ

I had written off potato salad as a totally unnecessary part of my personal food culture. It seemed to pop its head up all over my family's affairs. Those cold, bland potatoes soaked in mayonnaise, prompted a "this is so gross" face every time I crossed paths with this so-called salad. That was until I took a leap of faith and made my own potato salad last year. A recipe that involved both grilling and bacon roused my interest, resulting in a revelation of what a potato salad can, and should, be.

When Life Gives you Mizuna

Filet Mignon Salad

Excitement was in the air on Tuesday after work. After spending the winter trying to get on the Hellgate CSA, then being wait listed, and finally being accepted, the first distribution day was at hand. For those who are unfamiliar with a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), here's how it works: A community of people pair together with a local farmer who provides fresh fruit and produce for the members once a week. So we get whatever is in season on the farm, and this week's share included red salad bowl lettuce, curly cress, oregano, radishes, leeks, and mizuna. Mizuna, hmmmm, never heard of that one before... So the gf went on a search to find a recipe that would utilize this salad herb, and low-and-behold, she found something that included 1/2 of this week's share, plus called for a nice steak on top. What can't she do?
