Yes, I did mention the best salmon I ever had. And the sumo & the jumbo. But there was the shrimp too, so easy to cook, steamed & dipped in cocktail sauce or better yet, cooked then added to a sauce to serve on a pasta.
Yes, pasta! One of our customers imports wonderful Italian pastas. So many shapes and sizes to go with almost anything. Married to mushrooms or vegetables or meats. I have some nice wild mushrooms if you are interested. And VEGETABLES ARE US.
I failed to mention the bone-less chicken breasts, split, pounded flat & seasoned before placing in a hot seasoned skillet. Broccoli Rabé, blanched, then sautéed with garlic would be my perfect side. You could also go with broccolini or cauiflorini, both love garlic & will do the trick.
But listen, last night I had a lentil vegetable soup, accented by cumin and coriander. At the end, dark greens were thrown in. I used kale but collards are even better. And I couldn’t resist adding roasted chorizo to my bowl. Others in the house stayed verifiably vegan.
Heck! It’s cold out there, so I’m definitely thinking a hearty stew might be next up or chicken soup is never a bad idea. Nit Noi Provisions supplies us with organic vegetable, chicken & beef broths.
Meanwhile, out of the blue a nearby neighboring business sent me organic corn tortillas to sample and I have been having a love affair with them ever since. Bean, rice & cheese filled, noon & night. In the morning, either eggs or roasted potatoes. But you can roll your own with whatever strikes you.
For a night time snack? I try to keep a melon sliced. Right now I’m cutting up Canary melons. Watermelon too. I just got in white nectarines. I repeat, wonderful white nectarines. Very nice with yogurt and/or granola. A pear or a snappy apple with a piece of cheese. Check out our cheese list.
Arethusa ice cream for special occasions? Always.
I almost forgot, gummy bear grapes & extra large cherries. Oh yeah…
While I’ve got you here I just want to mention that besides having a nice assortment of olive oils, we also have avocado oil, sesame oil, walnut oil and more. Fresh herbs everyday and if you need a particular spice, just give us a days notice. Francoise needed French parsley, chervil. I got it the next day.
Most of all, I forgot to mention one important thing. Thank you for all your support. It really means a lot.
