Comments on: Out to pasture http://marriedwithdinner.com/2008/04/06/out-to-pasture/ The continuing adventures of a couple of San Francisco food dorks Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:51:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Married …with dinner » Blog Archive » Lazy, hazy days http://marriedwithdinner.com/2008/04/06/out-to-pasture/comment-page-1/#comment-86705 Married …with dinner » Blog Archive » Lazy, hazy days Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:50:53 +0000 http://marriedwithdinner.com/2008/04/06/out-to-pasture/#comment-86705 [...] Luckily, we had an ace in the hole planned for mid-week. Our meat CSA has given us a surplus of ground beef. Throw it in a skillet with in a hunk of Fatted Calf chorizo, a couple of the season’s first peppers from Happy Quail, a jar of homemade tomato sauce, and some local onions and garlic: Voilá, instant Sloppy Joes. Paired with a side of bacon-lashed coleslaw, we had ourselves a perfectly fabulous — and 100%-local — quick summer meal. Not glamorous, but definitely delicious.

I have been passing by the 'H' since I was a kid, and it's great to know what it's all about. Though I must admit I'm not a meat-eater, your lunch sounds utterly fabulous. What a wonderful day.

It's hard to find in WI but it's so worth the effort. I've got to get some soon. Great post! I finally put you in my google reader so I will stay caught up. I don't read many blogs anymore but yours is one of the few! Mmmm…raw milk. It’s hard to find in WI but it’s so worth the effort. I’ve got to get some soon.

Then they literally went out to meet their dinner, touring Marin Sun Farms, the ranch that supplies most of their eggs and meat. Finally she reflects on the challenge, the last few meals and the arrival of spring. Isn’t that purple asparagus gorgeous? We’re still easily a month away from asparagus here, and two from strawberries. But maybe if I close my eyes and visualize I can enjoy those first bites of spring with Anita. Thanks Anita, your meals were truly an inspiration this winter. [...] [...] Anita explored the perfect Reuben, taking advantage of the leftover homemade corned beef that she had.

I am on the next plane!! Actually, I did find raw milk at the farmers' market last year and I have been buying it ever since. It brings me back to my childhood days. Great write up, very thoughtful and I felt like I was there! That’s it! I am on the next plane!! Actually, I did find raw milk at the farmers’ market last year and I have been buying it ever since.

I have been on the fence about trying raw milk; but, you have changed my mind here. I may have to try to get us on one of these tours as well. Thanks for the info!!

The CSA seems to be a fabulous bargain, at least for us, and the side benefit is that -- like a veggie CSA -- we're getting to try things we might not have picked out on our own. David says they're looking into having another SF pickup location, for those folks who can't make it to Dogpatch during their limited business hours. Cookie: Yeah, hmm, why weren't you with us? Probably because by the time I thought to mention it, they'd already sold out. But if you guys decide to visit, we'd gladly come along. Jennifer: Thanks :)

My wife and I rarely eat meat b/c we can't afford to buy sustainably raised animals. We love marin sun farms products and this option will make it a little more doable for us.
