Simple food that has made my life better this week:

* A costco-sized bag of smoked salmon at work, with a sippy cup of lemon juice and some fresh dill for garnish
* Sauerkraut made by rising_moon and dreda with meat CSA hot dogs
* Raspberries by the quart with Natalie
* Some crazy marinated greens that ceelove made from our backyard, at a picnic IN our backyard

Also in recent memory: local tomatoes that were out of this world even in June, buffalo mozarella with 'em, half a round of Saint Andre on crackers, sneaking in sushi in stolen time before a movie with dilletante, spinach salad with steak on top, all the sweet carrots I can get my hands on.

I make a bad vegetarian but a very very good me.

I see the farmers markets starting up and I want to ask: what's been good for you?

Half a happy pig in my freezer. Well, it used to be half a one. We've eaten about 1/3 of it, so about one third of a happy pig.

It's not simple food. Many of the cuts have a lot more fat than what we get in the supermarket and I'm experimenting with charcuterie. So I need to learn to use my (never-used) grill as a smoker. Definitely not simple.

But very, very welcome.

Ooh! Don't get me wrong, I also like complicated projects, and this definitely sounds like one. :)

We always used to get half a cow every year (from a close friend who raised them). I miss that! Some day I will clean enough of the house to get to own a chest freezer. :)

Meanwhile, you're welcome to some of mine. :)

Somehow I already figured that you liked complicated as well. But since you asked about -simple- food I wanted to publicly recognize I was going off-topic.

Simple is the pig heart I'm going to slice, spice, and fry for dinner. The Critters think that chicken hearts are the world's best treat so let's see if they branch out.
