My tabouleh received a lukewarm greeting at the baby shower. Mostly because the party was at 2:30 and people wanted more snacky food. This was good for me because it means I got to bring most of it home.
I have another potluck today, a picnic in the park at a concert. I want to be sure to bring something unusual but also to work with what I have so I've picked a recipe for Tomato Mint Quinoa salad which will be fresh and light and probably not something anyone else is making. Plus, I have all the ingredients except the radishes and I'm just going to leave them out. I don't think I've ever bought a radish in my life. I will FINALLY finish the tomatoes from a couple weeks ago.
My farmer's market haul for the week:
1 lb kale $1
6 yams $2
3 cucumbers $1
3 green peppers $1
1 qt green beans $2
1/4 peck peaches $6 (but it's a ton of peaches!)
1 lb rhubarb $3.50
1 dz eggs 1.75
1/2 gall milk 3.50
6 small onions $2
Total: $23.75
I have chicken, oatmeal, rice and some beans left so I'll probably buy a few loaves of bread and maybe a jar of peanut butter and be done with it.
Two weeks ago the big market explosion was the tomatoes. This week it was the peaches. I can't wait to have peachy oatmeal and since I have so many, I will probably freeze the rhubarb to use in the fall with apples.
