This spring has been spent sneezing, spending, and cooking! I still absolutely adore central markets and the farmers markets, and now go to both, because it’s fun and the produce is amazing.
There is great joy in unplanned purchasing (of ingredients mind you, not impulse buying!), so I end up with goodies like heirloom carrots and blood oranges to play with.
First up, to get the silliness out of the way, there are two neverfail ingredients that can help out in a pinch – the first, as you know, is bacon. The second, is tomato sauce. One day, I had no dinner prepared whatsoever, and managed to create a chicken, bacon, tomato pasta that was somewhat decent! >_> Free parsley also helps 🙂
