We bought some crab this weekend so we enjoyed eating locally the past two nights. (OK, I'm stretching it to say the crab is local because all I know is it's from the Gulf.)
SUNDAY NIGHT MENU:
Crab Cakes (recipe from David Rosengarten's Taste: One Man's Journey Through the World's Greatest Dishes)
Wax Beans, blanched and lightly seasoned (from Baldwin County, picked up at the farmers market)
New Potatoes, baked (from our garden)
MONDAY NIGHT MENU:
More Crab Cakes (OK, we don't need to get quite as much next time!)
Mixed Greens Salad (from our garden)
New Potatoes, boiled (from our garden)
Also, we hosted a party Saturday that boasted many, though not exclusively, local foods. We had jambalaya with Gulf shrimp, grilled summer squash from the farmers market, French potato salad with market potatoes, and a friend brought a ton of crawfish.
It's a good time to be eating in South Alabama!
