There were a number of meals this week that could qualify for the local meal of the week. This is a wonderful time of the year, with so many markets open.

How about yesterday’s meal? After a day of foraging, we had:

• wine from McLaughlin’s and Womanchego cheese from Cato Corner Farm, in Colchester, CT
• beef tenderloins (from Stuarts Family Farm) on the grill
• garlic scapes (from Missy’s) also on the grill
• pan-sauteéd spinach (from Holbrook Farm from last week—yes the green bags really work) with fresh garlic from Missy’s

We went to Ferris Acres Creamery afterward for ice cream, but the line was reeeaaaly long, so we postponed that until today! I finally ventured beyond the vanilla and have to admit their black raspberry is very, very nice. (In case you were wondering, Ferris has 154 cows!)

Apologies for the lack of pictures…don’t know where my head was at!
