Fanciful Food Finds

And now I will introduce my new favorite food to you, the very exotic dragon tongue bean!

It's an heirloom type of snap pea, and it changes colors when you cook it. Pretty similar to a green bean, except there are no strings, and they taste a WHOLE lot better.

We got them at the Taylor Farmer's Market this Saturday because we thought they looked crazy, and I am so glad we did! I need a lifetime supply of these things. We grilled them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic and added fresh basil after they were done. The grill-y taste was amazing. If you can find some of these, buy them!!!!

heavenly

Another find at the farmer's market, a pearl cucumber:

Here it is next to a lemon cucumber... haven't tried that one yet.

It is a really light green color, and is just a little tastier than a regular cucumber.

It also had a lot more seeds. It was delicious!

We made a vinaigrette with Joe's beer mustard that the canning lady at the market makes and I loved it! Much better than regular old Dijon.

Don't have a pic of the beer mustard, but here is my purchase from the canning lady... spicy sauerkraut! I will put it on my doggies

Oh yeah... those steaks were pretty good too!!

Best.Dinner.Ever


If only every meal was this delicious! I think I need to be a farmer.
