Deglazed

Grand Lake Farmer’s Market 2/2/07

Not all the oranges froze. Is $1.50/lb too much for navels? If variety is the spice of life, and you are getting tired of apples, no.
Be still my bleeding heart for those blood oranges. Was that a hint of cherry I detected?
Cauliflower is here! And now the smell in my house can prove it. I steamed it up for my babies in hopes to reduce the orange hue on their skin from eating only squash for the last three weeks.
Dirty little secret of the day… they didn’t teach me how to cook turnips in culinary school, and I never saw one turnip in any of the professional kitchens I worked in. I feel a little lost when I see a basket of root vegetables at the market, as if I should get excited, but am really too embarrassed to ask for directions. Today, I bought two. I’m told Norwegians eat them raw as a snack. I plan on roasting them with sweet potatoes and shallots, but I’ll take a quick bite to see what the Scandinavian rage is all about.
