Guess I will chime in here after reading all the great food ideas and recipes.
Our power was out on Thurday night here (fierce wind storm) and we had to go towards town to find a restaurant with power. Back on by morning, thank the Good Lord. Had Yakisoba and tea.

I only buy ground beef from a beef grower that comes to the farmer's market. It is SO good and flash frozen right after packing. I also get top sirloin steak from him that is SO tender for grass fed and low fat.

When I am tired or it is hot (in summer) I fix ground lamb (natural raised from southern Oregon - just ground in front of me). Last night I added a touch of curry, some onion, pinch of garlic granules, and a few dashes of Worchestershire sauce. Had those patties on whole wheat buns from one of the organic bakeries in the islands here. I had a little slice of real Swiss cheese on mine.

Cubed up half an eggplant and added the last of my little patio tomatoes with generous dollup of organic olive oil and herbs of Provence.

Naturally we had some (3) samples of just arrived Bordeaux to try. Interesting to see how the wine from the same producers will change a bit from vintage to vintage. Our favorite was from a property new to our market.

Ended with sharing a Comice Pear from one of our trees. We harvested about a week ago. So juicy and sweet!
