Like I have said previously, apologetically, my culinary creativity is in the dumps this week. I have no idea what is wrong with me. Maybe all of my energy is going into my resolutions or whatever or maybe I'm just off this week. Whatever it is, I made a really good dinner with 3 simple yet wonderful, local ingredients.
- Duck Eggs from Broad River Pastures in Elberton, GA- broadriverpastures@gmail.com
- Calamata Sunshine Cheese, artisinal gouda with calamata olives from Greendale Farms in Madison, GA- www.greendalefarm.com
- Buttermilk from Johnston Family Farm in Newborn, GA (their milk rocks)
ummm this looks sooo good. is it an omelet? if so i hate them but would totally eat this!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed at your dedication to cooking local, WITH KIDS TO FEED.
ReplyDeleteI love the Johnson milk, so much better than store bought. Will you be ordering weekly? Maybe we can work out a deal driving?
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you, Aunt Bee for sharing this. This is one of our default dinners, as well! Only we use the Johnston's 40% cream and whatever Greendale or Nature's Harmony cheese we may have on hand. Of course, the Broad River Pastures duck eggs from our backyard hens are always a given. Now that the Orpington and Wyandotte hens are laying, I guess we might have an occasional chicken egg omelet. So nice that you can get all of these local ingredients and more with only one trip to Ben's Bikes and a few minutes at the Athens Locally Grown website!
ReplyDeleteHi! I got some local duck eggs recently (first time) and I have to admit, I was not a fan! Do you find there is a big difference between chicken and duck eggs? Maybe I was just being picky, but I did not like the texture :-)
ReplyDelete@Lara- I really didnt think there was that big of a difference in texture. They were very fluffy and had large yolks. Maybe you aren't a fan of the yolk.
