Give me the fresh stuff!

My goal is to eat solely from the farm and Saturday market purchases. I will also allow myself $20 for other food purchases. Down here, I think this is feasible and hope that I am able to accomplish it. So far this week I have only spent ten dollars on food and will spend the other ten probably at Saturday market.

Yesterday we went to a nearby farm and picked three gallons of blueberries. I don’t like the likes of them but did enjoy the huge bucket of tomatoes I took. I made a tomato basil soup, in memory of Jen when I had visited Boston a few summers ago. The tomato and basil were from the garden. This soup is quite easy to make only including: tomato, basil, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. I have to admit, on a hot day, hot soup was not really a wise choice but I am sure to enjoy the leftovers as a cold soup or salsa with the tostatos Cindy gave me. Tonight I made myself a quiche with mostly everything from the farm. The contents were guinea and chicken eggs, asparagus, matts wild cherry tomatoes, milk and a homemade pesto. I am going to give the milk from market a go at it and see how I like it.

I am missing you all dearly and wishing that you could come experience this with me! Best wishes and love, you are all in my thoughts constantly!
