Lunch

Sliced Tomato and Basil

Dinner

Garlic Curried Pollock

w/ Lacinato Kale, Collards & Fingerling Taters

A nice garden fresh dinner to start off the week.  The collards and kale taste so good freshly harvested...I didn't really think there would be much of a difference from my greens and the ones I get from the local farms but there is... however its probably all in my head !  Anyhow its very rewarding to be using our garden as a major source of kitchen ingredients.

Day 163 LocalrootZ Project (June 14, 2010)

Breakfast

Plain Swallowtail Yogurt

w/ Honey

Lunch

New Leaf Salad Mix

w/ Pepperjack Cheese

Dinner

Pan Fried Crisp Cod

w/ Sauteed Green Garlic and Garden Greens

Glass of Coastal Red

Our quick and traditional New England fish fry with a side of greens from our garden... mostly lacinato kale and collards with a lil bit of mustard greens to add a little spice.  The fish was prepared by simply dipping it in beaten sparrow farm eggs then coated in a mixture of coarsely ground maine cormeal with various dried herbs; sage, rosemary and thyme.  A fantastic dinner that takes minimal preparation and the whole price of the dinner for two was $6.75 ! At that price we could afford the $14 bottle of Bartlett's Coastal Red.
