One Local Summer - Week 7 - South

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

I can’t believe we’re at week 7 already!  I have no idea where this summer is going, and how we got here so quickly. 

Over at Low Mileage Food last week, I got a craving for lasagna.  Never mind that it’s been 90 degrees and over every day.  So, we had local lasagna, including homemade noodles.  And yes, it was delicious,

Jasmine at Knitting 40 Shades of Green, on the other hand, beat the heat with a lovely gazpacho.  C. at Foodie for Tots also worked with the heat, fixing chimichurri flank steak, buttermilk and herb marinated chicken breast, tomato mozzarella salad, and potato salad for dinner with her in-laws.  It looks really, really good.

It was also hot for the folks at Capturing Today, pushing over 100 degrees in their neck of the woods.  They responded with rotisserie leg of lamb, a summer vegetable medley, cucumber salad, and sliced tomatoes.

Over at Tennessee Locavore, they’ve been eating a lot of local meals, including chicken and mushroom kebabs, and bacon and tomato sandwiches.  Num!

Tiffany at the Garden Apartment cooked up zucchini and potato pancakes, as well as ratatouille with goat cheese and pesto, and visited one of the farms that produces some of her food.  What an excellent week!

Over at Bridgman Pottery, there were some great looking meals served up, including a vegetable bake, cold cucumber soup, and gazpacho. 

At Outpost 505, they also worked up a whole bunch of local meals, including one of my favorites, meatballs.

Heather at Simple Green Frugal cooked up something pretty original and nifty:  polenta lasagna.  At least I’m not the only person making lasagna in this heat. 

And last, at Our Greener Pastures, this week saw soft tacos and berry cake.  Delicious. 

Have a good week, everyone!  Stay cool.
