Sweet potatoes? Hell yeah. I've been looking forward to trying some totally researched and over-engineered technique for making french fries. And sweet potato fries are so good. As well, I might try the similarly-structured but IIRC simpler version from the Les Halles Cookbook.



Plus leeks! Dill! Celeriac! Edamame! Fresh chicken! Feta!

Corn-Tomato-Chicken Salad

A quick-ish dish for a week night.

Beautiful tomatoes (thanks Erica!)



Combine with barely-cooked corn, chicken (leg rather than breast, for flavor), and scallions.





There's a dressing, and it didn't emulsify quite right, so I didn't dress the salad proper, but it's actually quite good and important for the dish.

This is the tomato experience I'd hoped to have last year, but was *robbed* from me due to blight. This is a really great salad.

Yay for the share this week. Ham! Sausage! Chicken! Spinach! Cuckes! Corn! Potatoes! Tomatillos! Tomatoes. And cherry tomatoes. And Willow Hill Farm Brebis. And some Magic Hat hI.P.A., which isn't part of the share except that Magic Hat's always been great to Full Moon Farm, and our pickup is in the Magic Hat parking lot, which gives me a great and convenient excuse to grab a growler while I'm there.

Nom nom nom.

Share for the week of August 3rd

Watermelon, kohlrabi, beets, carrots, onions, tomatoes, tomatillos, corn, scallions and feta. Aww yeah.

Broccoli and Corn Frittata

Audrey was out of town for part of last week, so I was looking for recipes that were both simple, and that she otherwise wouldn't want. Eyeing some broccoli and corn, I threw together a quick frittata.

Corn:



Scallion:



Our favorite Cabot Sharp Cheddar:



Some eggs and milk for volume:



Light cooking:



Egg-milked, baked, bound and broiled:



I'd have liked to steam or blanch the broccoli to get it a wee bit softer, while leaving the scallions and corn as fresh and crisp as baked for 25 minutes would allow. Regardless, this was a fine quick dish.
