A bit of a late start...

Sorry for the delay, folks.... I have been under the weather for the past few days, so most of my time was spent reading or sleeping. Now on to the produce update!

I picked up my second bag of produce Saturday morning, and I was greeted with a number of delicious-looking products: a huge, beautiful bunch of lettuce, a vibrant bunch of radishes, a bunch of green onions, a bag of red potatoes, and a bunch of garlic leaves. (I don't think I'm leaving anything out...)

Anyway, we finished up last week's produce in salads and whatnot, and most of our produce this week will end up the same, but last night I used the potatoes and garlic leaves to create a FABULOUS side dish! All is did was scrub the potatoes and cut off the eyes, then quartered them and boiled them in vegetable broth until they were soft. Then I drained them, added a dash of salt and pepper, a spoon of Land-o-Lakes Light Butter, a handful of chopped garlic leaves and a handful of chopped parsley. "WOW!" is the reaction I got from manfriend, so they must have been good. The main course of our meal was a pork loin covered in coarse ground mustard and roasted at 425F for 45 minutes (our oven is ancient and not reliable). Mmmmmmm..... one of the best meals I've cooked in a long time!

I did have a bit of an accident last night, though, while chopping the parsley... I was honestly just thinking, "Huh, I'm surprised I've never injured myself with this sharp knife," when I cut into my pointer finger pretty good. No stitches or doctor visit required, but I will definitely need to wear a bandage for a while.

As my neighbor growing up would always say, "The stupid shall suffer." Suffer I did, but the meal was oh so worth it! It was quick, easy and will definitely be on our menu again very, very soon.

Hope you have a delicious day!
