I have to re-post a teaser picture to include all the awesomeness we found at the farmers market today.
SalsaKid took 5 gallons of his signature lavender lemonade to the market and sold out 1/2 hour before market ended.
We haven't even bothered with the market for his lemonade this season because the weather has been so crappy, but today, it finally kicked in!
And as a total Bonus... I found several things to replace what I already had or could add to!
What we have here is the basic ingredients...minus Bigfoot's penis
and adding in the main ingredient...PRIME RIB! but this ain't just any ol' prime rib from the meat counter...this is T-Bone's prime rib! T-Bone is (or used to be) the neighbors cow. Last year we bought a side of beef, so every time we'd drive by the field and see that hoofer getting bigger, we'd comment about T-Bone's size and how good he was going to taste. I was saving that last prime rib roast for a special occasion and we all thought this was the perfect occasion to enjoy T-Bone's finest! Especially since "Filet Mignon" is now our focus of attention on the drive-bys!
I put all of the local ingredients on the right side of the picture, here's a list-
Front and center- Prime Rib roast 5# 8 oz/ 2.6 kilo
Yukon Gold new potatoes FM (YEA! don't have to use the store bought reds)
Mystery peppers, homegrown and spicy
green onions- FM
Garlic and chive Cherve cheese- FM, from a local goat farm/dairy (purplish lid)
Horseradish from the yard (white tub)
rustic sourdough bred from local bakery using local grains-FM
Local organic cherries FM(peak season right now, traded a bottle of hot sauce for these beauties! Cha-Ching!)
Sprigs of lavender in the back for lemonade, from our own 350 lavender plants
Local brew from The Old Schoolhouse Brewery- new owners, only had the business for 2 years and already winning awards!
A bottle of Washington red wine
and a bowl of fresh black bean salsa- I'll post something in recipes with more images of this and the recipe.
I'm gonna kick back now and enjoy the rest of the Red Diamond wine, will post the rest in the AM-
