OLS: New England/Int’l Week 4

Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Well...still raining!  I can’t believe we’re entering July this week and the weather has yet to show us any real “summer” weeks!  Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for the peeks of sun, but I’d like a whole lot more of them!

We’re still cookin’ in New England despite the rain!

England

Sally at Diario is sick this week...be on the lookout for next week’s OLS meal!  (Hope you feel better soon Sally!)

Vermont

Annika from Northeast Kingdom Localvores made a scrumptious meal of grilled chicken legs, grilled vegetables and browned potatoes.  To wrap up them meal, she made homemade strawberry ice cream.  Yum!

Massachusetts

Leslie at dreams and bones made gorgeous goat cheese pizza.  She used roasted garlic scapes, last seasons canned tomatoes, fresh sliced tomatoes, basil and of course, goat cheese.  That pizza looks so tasty!

Connecticut

Mangochild at Living in a Local Zone also baked a pizza.  She used fresh basil, chives, green garlic, and tomato sauce with a splash of zucchini on top.

Sophie at Late Bloomers Farm had beef tenderloins with grilled garlic scapes with pan-sauteéd spinach and local Connecticut wine.

New Hampshire

Lisa at Notes From Zone 4 made a super sandwich with homemade potato rolls, turkey, homemade mayo, horseradish, cheddar cheese, and greens from her garden.  (Check out last weeks egg noodle casserole that I forgot to post as well!)

Kristin at The Family Kitchen shared a sampling of local fare.  This includes squash sauteed with garlic scapes, boiled lobsters, cheeseburgers and homemade cheese ravioli.  What a delicious week she had!

This week I (at Living the Local Life) was a complete failure and didn’t make much for local food.  (Hangs head in shame!) This week, I promise, I’ll get to it!

Colleen at Penny-Wise People made a simple local meal.  She made a salad from the produce from that weeks CSA share and grilled some kielbasa from a local sausage shop.

Amy at What Did She Do Today? shared her local meal with company.  She cooked up a very diverse vegetable medley, steamed beets, and some goat meat, kabob cut.

Kim at Yankee Food recapped OLS weeks 1 - 4 in one big post!  Here are some of the meals she’s enjoyed:  Meal 1 - smoked ribs, slow baked beans and an apple-rhubarb pie. Meal 2 - grill-roasted local chicken with zucchini and baked potatoes. Meal 3 - steak with arugula pesto served over pasta.

(If I missed you, please let me know!)

Here’s to a sunny weekend (again)!!
