This week, we had four dinners made almost entirely from local ingredients.
Dinner 1: Salmon with mustard and dill, curried farro with snow peas, carrots and sweet onions, homemade fizzy water with apple cider (my current drink of choice)
Dinner 2: Carrot soup with dill
Dinner 3: Breakfast for dinner! Hash brown potatoes and fried eggs
Dinner 4: Grilled salmon, grilled potatoes, steamed purple beans
(You will have noticed that two of those meals included salmon. During the local season, when Wilson Fish comes to the farmers’ market with fish a day or two out of the water, we buy salmon every week. This week, we cooked last week’s and this week’s salmon in one calendar week.)
Here’s where our food was grown/raised: (carrot soup ingredients are listed in the soup post)
Alvarez Organics: yukon gold potatoes
Bluebird Grain Farms: emmer farro
Golden Glen Creamery: cream (from which I made butter)
Growing Things Farm: royal burgundy beans (which sadly loose their color when cooked)
Local Roots Farm: sweet onions, snow peas, carrots, dill
Rockridge Orchards: apple cider
Skagit River Ranch: eggs
Wilson Fish: salmon, lots of salmon
Washington: alder-smoked Walla Walla onion mustard
California: olive oil
Far away: canola oil, curry powder, sugar, cayenne pepper, pepper

Gorgeous! We had Wilson fish smoked salmon with made by me pasta last night. (The wine and maple smoke) The egg man was out of chicken eggs when we arrived (late because of the street fair and a certain boys facination with the giant climb inside fish) So we bought duck eggs and had them with potaoes frome our garden for lunch! I love Wilson fish and the egg man….oh, the honey man too….
hooray for purple beans. we are growing those in our garden and they are delicious.
How awesome! I talked to you last night when I was at the arboretum. I did find out that one of the grocery stores here has a muich higher percentage of local produce–gotta start going there instead.
The salmon looks to die for!
