Weekly Fridge Pic - June 22, 2010

New things to try this week include last night's Zucchini Souffle (um, baking powder does expire...oops), Stuffed Pattypan Squash and Alice Waters' Summer Squash Soup.  I always hated beets as a kid, so am going to try both roasted beets served cold with goat cheese and a vinaigrette and sauteed beets-n-greens.  We'll see.

Tonight is stir fry with a pork steak from Yoder Farms and onions, carrots, snow peas and beautiful purple cabbage, all from Avalon Acres.  Trust me, once you go fresh, you will never go back!!

I've also tried my hand at homemade yogurt with good results.  The yogurt cheese is in the downstairs fridge and we'll try it tonight.  If results are good, I'll share.

Also included, last week's bonus fridge shot.  We had to evacuate to my parents' unexpectedly while a broken water pipe was located and repaired.  It is nice to be married to someone who not only knows how to   go about doing this, but who also seems to relish renting and using a ditch witch.  That ground beef was used for meatballs and much of the rest was evacuated with us to the parents.  Apparently carrots with tops are special treats for the 2-year-old set, just so you know.

In the red bowl there is the dough for some artisan bread.  I will do a post on that one day, as it is oh so easy and oh so yummy!
