Meatloaf

I have some catching up to do!   On Sunday, I made a meatloaf we are going to have for dinner tonight.  I sauteed onions, scallions, carrots, peppers, garlic, celery and one roasted beet.  The Silver Palate has a great recipe for Market Street Meatloaf which I used as a model.  I used ground Milgate farm beef, New Creation farm pork and humanely raised veal, some panko, cream, ketchup, salt, pepper & a bit of cumin.  We'll see how it turns out with the mashed potatoes & green beans from "the bag".

Flank steak with sweet slaw

The cabbage awaits! I found a recipe on Epicurious for an Asian slaw (Flank steak with sweet slaw). I have a sirloin from Milgate farms which will have to do in place of the flank steak. It was great, as was the sweet slaw. 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar & 3 tbsp sugar, boiled with a hot pepper and some ginger, poured over 5 cups of cabbage, 1/2 cup of green onions and 1/2 cup of cilantro.

It was an excellent use of cabbage on a hot day. Fish tacos next?

Corn and peppers

We had the most amazing corn at Bar Cento the other night. He split the cob in fourths lengthwise and sauteed it with slivered hot peppers and garlic. I made a variation the other night where I cut the corn off the cob after I cooked it and then sauteed it with peppers and garlic. Tonight, we may have roasted Tea Hills farms chicken, with spinach and more sauteed corn and peppers.

We used a tomato, some basil and some corn at lunch to today with our Millgate farm burgers. Somehow, using one tomato doesn't feel like I've made a dent in that bag.
