When it rains it pours, but hopefully not inside well i guess that is sometimes the price of having a 130 year old building with a 40 foot pecan tree right next to it. slate roofs are built to last but even that gets tested by a 500 lb tree limb. like always, patch it up and we got to go.
i ain’t got time to bleed

…is on fire.
But we put it out. Only cost one pair of boots and an electricians bill. Dinner is open.

It’s a Cushaw pumpkin. An heirloom Creole pumpkin that makes great pies and soups. For awhile they were getting hard to come by but they are now making a resurgence. Light in flavor with a bit of sweetness and hints of brown butter they are a Creole grandmas favorite.
Again buy local and support the under supported it might just need the helping hand.

You know what the problem is with stuff like mass marketed arugula, well they needed a product that was easy to clean and not to offensive to the largest section of consumer. So they came up with “baby Arugula ” to me it always missed out on the peppery sharpness of what makes Arugula so tasty as a great foil for things like sweet apples or goat cheese. Pairing it with a milder lettuce like iceberg or romaine always worked well to give a little punch and keep the crunch.
Well I’ll tell you what I love about working with local farmers they will grow to a chefs specs. And this is great. So we got some beautiful Arugula now and I’m loving it.
