We went to Michel’s farm yesterday to hand-pick our future jack-o-lanterns, because only losers buy their pumpkins from the supermarket. That’s right. I’m talking about you.

Aside from a great deal of residual manure, I also brought back and entire butt-load of locally grown vegetables. More than can possibly fit in my measly, pansy-footed crispers, my fridge now looks like it needs to be mowed.

These veggies taste so much veggier than even the organic supermarket stuff, so we’ve just been enjoying them steamed the past couple days. But tomorrow, oh, tomorrow, ye be

BORSCHT DAY!!!!!!!!

I love me some beets. So vibrant, so fresh tasting. Grated on a salad with chick peas and shredded carrot—who even needs dressing? But, borscht is my fave. My recipe is an amalgamation of three different recipes and it may even evolve a bit tomorrow depending if the sugar-boogers let me get to the store or not.

Will post the recipe tomorrow, along with my very first food photos shot in my very own portable food studio that my husband is crafting me! Crafty man that he is, he’s also building me a brand, spanking new website in a more appetizing palate. Delicious veggie details to come in the weeks following.
