It's One Local Summer time! And I didn't have just a salad! I had this for dinner last night:
I made cheddar mash with Yukon Golds from the farmers market and cheese from the co-op. You'll be happy to hear that my new-old potato masher did its job well! The great big pile of veg is from my garden -- broccoli, kale, grean beans, snow peas, and onion. (The flowers are from the garden, too.)
It's fun to think that in a month or two, when I dig up my own potatoes, I'll be able to recreate this meal entirely from what I've grown myself (sans cheese, obviously). In my heat-fueled delirium yesterday, I found it easy to imagine lying in the garden (maybe in the shade of the tomato plants), reaching out and eating whatever I found when I got hungry.
Speaking of tomato plants, look at this. Do you see it? In the middle of the photo? There's only one person who will 'get' this, but, 'Augh! Something NOT-green!' This is the Cherokee Purple plant. Ripen, my pretties.
