To me, nothing says summer like corn on the cob hot off the grill. This week’s meal was a delicious excuse to indulge.
The Meal:
Plank Grilled Wahoo and Swordfish with Apricot Sauce
Corn on the Cob and Foil-Roasted Squash Medley
Simple and classic–it doesn’t get more summery.
It’s OLS catch-up day! (I apologize for the brevity of this post, but I’ve got a batch of homebrew going and I keep leaping up from the computer to tend to it).
Week 4:
Week 4 found me with a dozen friends over for a backyard barbeque, and the pleasure of realizing I could feed them locally. [...]
Ah, me and OLS–there’s always a reason for me to get behind. While busy weekends have kept me from posting, they haven’t kept me from eating delicious local meals. Here’s my meal from OLS week 3 which was easily my favorite meal of the summer so far.
This week I stopped by the World Famous Smoked [...]
Ok, I took some liberties with “local” this week, when I decided to explore the depths of my freezer and came across two elk ribeye steaks that a friend had given me last summer. The meat comes from his family’s ranch in Minot, North Dakota, and was part of an enormous dry-ice packed cooler that [...]
This week was the first week of one local summer, and I kicked it off with a classic: steak and potatoes.
Ok, it was a little more involved than just steak and potatoes. Here were the dishes:
Cherry & Vanilla Porter Marinated Tri-Tip with Porter-Glazed Shitake Mushrooms
Grilled Artichokes with Sauteed Grape Tomatoes and Dill
Tri-Color Medley of [...]
It dawned on me the other week that had been almost a year since the start of last year’s One Local Summer. The exercise involved committing to eat one completely local meal just once a week, for each week of the summer. It was amazing, and that is an understatement. I started out knowing [...]
I haven’t been this excited all summer folks. This week, my local meal featured….PIG!
I go up to LA at least once every two months, mostly cajoled by a group of friends who come up with one excuse or another to lure us up there. By default, I often end up crashing at a friends studio [...]
There are times, I’ve come to realize, when life just doesn’t make itself conducive to blogging. Hence me not getting my meals posted in time to be included in the One Local Summer week 7 OR week 8 roundup (delinquent, I know). Luckily, while my past few weeks have been hectic and jam-packed, they’ve remained [...]
Wow, has it really been six weeks? I’ve enjoyed every meal of it, but I think this week’s was my favorite. Unfortunately, this is also going to be a rather short post, sans photos, as I’ve just arrived on the East coast for an extended weekend….
The inspiration for this week came in the form [...]
Sometimes just one ingredient inspires an entire meal. This week, it was okra.
I sauntered up to one of my favorite farmers’ stalls this week, hoping to pick up some blue lake green beans, a sweet cantaloupe, and some tomatoes, when I spotted the gorgeous, slender green fruit staring up at me. There was no hesitation, [...]
