What’s for Dinner?

Now this looks like the real deal…summer, along with the weather we dream about, is officially here.  Sauvie Island Organics has provided a table-ful, to be sure!  And I can’t wait to dive into this bounty, especially after a recent trip to Seattle.  Not only did I eat to my heart’s (and belly’s) content at a number of foodie destinations, but I garnered ideas to bring home to my own table.  It’s a rare occasion that I don’t push, shove, and modify to get what my farm delivers into something I’ve enjoyed immensely, maybe in a little bit different manner.  This week, a nod to Tom Douglas and the restaurant empire he’s created in Seattle.  Watch out veggies…Serious Pie, and Serious Biscuit are headed your way.
