Last three meals I made were farmer's market and backyard garden extravaganzas. I am not always this good, but 'tis the season!

Thurs night: pork chops from local pork farmer pan sauteed in garlic cream with tarragon from my garden, sliced tomato from the farmers' market and steamed green beans plucked from my garden.

Friday night we took DP's Mom out for dinner at a restaurant that trys to buy most everything from local sustainable farmers.

Sat: garlic lemon grilled pork chops (same farmer) topped with lemon butter chive (my garden) sauce, another sliced tomato from the FM and grilled asparagus from the FM with a dash of balsamic.

Last night: lemon thyme (my garden) chicken/asparagus stir fry - chicken breast from a different local farmer and asparagus again from the FM. This week was the last of the asparagus so I went a little asparagus crazy.

Tonight, DP has to work so we're on our own. I will probably just throw in a Trader Joe's ham and gruyere tart/"pizza" - those things are soooooooo good!

Tomorrow night, a pasta dish using a bunch of zucchini and yellow squash I picked up at the FM last Thursday. My squash is just starting to come in.
