I might sound a bit snarky right now, but I kid you not, you owe her for your gastronomic pleasures. she alone led us thru a culinary revolution. i hope you do get up early and get in that line to meet her. it brings a tear to my eye to know that you would love to meet Alice Waters! why do i constantly find myself explaining to people who she is and why they owe her! people, come on! without her, you might never be eating bugs on fruit!

It's a little bit The Onion and a little bit onion soup. I'll have to give some of your recipes a try in my California kitchen - having recently discovered a nearby Farmer's Market, I am newly inspired. Best of luck in chefdom and commentary...CW (I worked for/with your Dad at ANR and he pointed me in your blog's direction.)

However, I do eat vegetarian/vegan products (mostly veggie burgers and "chicken" patties when I need a meal quickly). I have a vegan friend - I like to keep at least one in my corner in case there's ever a species war - who uses Vegenaise, and I tend to trust her food opinions. I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion! Generally, no, I’m not concerned about death by mayonnaise.

I was looking for a different recipe and came across yours by chance. If you're really concerned about death by mayonnaise, try a product called Vegenaise. It's actually good for you (grapeseed oil based) and I have used it in numerous recipes...noone in my family can tell the difference. Good post.

]]> Comment on Farmers’ Market Trip and Recipe Request by Eric http://thesmokingkitchen.com/2008/06/23/farmers-market-trip-and-recipe-request/comment-page-1/#comment-106 Eric Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:11:51 +0000 http://thesmokingkitchen.com/?p=152#comment-106 Here's what we (well, my wife) does with kale: Coarsely chop it, then steam it, then saute it with garlic, olive oil, and some balsamic vinegar (added near the end). Delicious. We have it with fish and chips. The fish batter is a New Orleans variation with cayenne pepper, and the chips are double fried, potato-ey on the inside and crisp on the outside. I'm with you on the tomatoes. My favorite time of year is when our tomatoes ripen. We end up eating them with some salt, pepper, and, maybe, a splash of olive oil. We mean to cook them into something, but they're so good fresh off the plant that we never manage to get them to a pot. And, different post here, the herbs look great. Pluck off the flowers and you'll be in great shape. As for the steak, as long as I'm mixing posts, the key to cooking meat and fish (well, being as I don't eat meat I'm told this applies to meat) is remembering that it will continue to cook after it's taken off the heat. Err on the early side; you can always put it back on.
