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?

TJ's smoked herring has been my salvation this spring. Also: the discovery that I can use the toaster over to roast vegetables.

Last night's farmers market score was forellenschluss from Kimball Farms.

...you can use the toaster oven to roast vegetables!

You totally just changed my life right there.

...I find that questions that contain words are much easier to answer!

I should be able to manage that!

What about that post was life changing for you?

I love roasted vegetables, so being able to roast smaller batches without having to heat up an entire oven means that I will do it much much more often. For example, one head of garlic, or one red pepper - not worth using the oven, but the toaster oven, hell yes.

Yes, yes, you can, and I totally do (since I am often cooking for me). You can also roast chicken (for one person) in a toaster oven, and if you have a large enough oven roast chicken AND vegetables simultaneously in it.

Shhhh.
