(that was seven)

This weekend My Wife and I spent some time getting after one of the things we said we'd do for fun. We went up to Boulder to visit the Farmers' Market. This worked out well, because I had to be in Boulder for the Boulder Asian Festival for a kung fu performance anyway. We walked around, stopped by the mushroom stand where the guy recognized me from my old job and gave us a pound of various mushrooms, we also bought some eggplant and some squash blossoms. From there we bought some peaches for My Wife to jar/preserve. I headed off to the kung fu performances and she went home with our bounty.

When I go home I made mushroom and red wine risotto, with pan fried Gruyère stuffed squash blossoms. Then on Sunday, I made ratatouille, bacon collard greens and reheated the risotto for dinner. I almost went two days with vegetarian dinners, but a man needs his Sunday bacon, and the sun was setting when I was making dinner.
