This menu seemed a little premature for September, game and roasted squash being pretty much an autumn meal, but fortunately the weather cooperated (I wouldn’t want to cook or serve this dinner in warm weather), and the the sun actually haded cross the celestial equator and headed south exactly 24 hours earlier. I want to add that despite …

breakfast ‘without’
It was breakfast without bacon and without tomatoes. Also new this time: No broken yolks, and somehow the whites came off with something of a geometric perfection as well. the list of what there was: blue eggs from Millport Dairy Farm free-range Americauna chickens; husk cherries from Oak Grove Plantation that were there because I …
eggs and tomatoes and bacon and toast and…
I broke some yolks. Still, although it’s certainly not related, it turned out to be one of the most delicious versions of my regular Sunday bacon and eggs thing. Maybe I just hit the right combinations in my enthusiasm for adding herbs and spices. The tomatoes however were new, maybe even new to the planet, …
parslied/licorice-d cod; tomatoes, basil; potatoes, oregano
Licorice-d cod. The only thing about this meal that was not familiar was one of the herbs that found its way into it, with some help from Lani’s Farm. ‘Blue licorice‘, is what the little sign read, but it wasn’t blue, and it didn’t look like anything I knew that was associated with one of …
a colorful breakfast (actually, it really was a lunch this time)
It was all good. It also wasn’t really breakfast time any more, by the time we enjoyed it, even in the terms of our own late-eating habits. from Millport Dairy Farm there was thick bacon and Americauna chicken eggs (with thinly-sliced new shallot stems from Tamarack Hollow Farm, fresh oregano buds from Norwich Meadows Farm, …
blue eggs, pink bacon, red and green spices, purple basil
I feel like I cheated with this picture. Most of its interest is supplied by the purple micro basil. Although it definitely adds something to the flavor of a dish, it’s the delicate shape, and especially the color, that makes it sing, and demands that it be ‘heard’. Otherwise this was a fairly routine Sunday …
labneh, garlic, lemon, egg, fenugreek, l’ekama, micro radish
This was not our fathers’ Sunday breakfast. It started with the water buffalo labneh (a creamy, tangy Middle Eastern yogurt strained to remove most of its whey) that I had in the refrigerator. While I knew there would be eggs involved, I also knew that there were all kinds of possibilities for improvisation. I actually had …
breakfast with micro greens and flowers; Morton Feldman
I intended it as something in honor of the full onset of summer, but I almost went overboard with the flowers and micro greens – and micro reds – in today’s breakfast. the ingredients were 2 slices of thick smoked bacon and 6 very fresh Americauna chicken eggs from Millport Dairy Farm, 4 Backyard Farms …
parslied cod, dill flower; rainbow chard, spring garlic, lemon
It had been 2 months since we’d had cod, and almost 2 years since I’d prepared it on top of the stove, which was my choice on this hot day in June. This dinner was absolutely delicious. The filet was cooked à point, and you can see the pools of its juices inside the crevices. …
fried striped bass, spring garlic; tomato; asparagus, mint
I know the asparagus should be turned the other way, but I was in a hurry It looks like a bit like veal, but it’s actually a section of a thick striped bass fillet, and it tasted even more serious than veal. The asparagus was an experiment. I don’t think I’ve cooked very thin …
