I found a new neighborhood grocery store today. It is cool. It is also next to the European Grocery I found about a year ago. They are near the Fine Arts Museum. That is all I am telling you. They are mine. I won't make these stores a usual weekend stop, they are too far from the house, but, I will be there once a month or so. Today, I hit both of them, then Whole Foods and then Safeway. Before I get to tonight's menu, here is a pic I snapped at sunset as I was cutting across Twin Peaks from Whole foods to Safeway.
{OK I owe you a pic. I am full from dinner and dont want to go to the car and download the pics}{Yes... it's weak, but...}
Two weeks ago I found this great ground pork at Whole Foods. I have made several meals with it since. I even made a stop for another pound and a half last night. Used half of that for Friday's dinner and used the rest of it in the soup tonight. Here is what I did tonight:
Soup:
Veggie Stock [double up on the cube] bring it to a boil
In the pot for the first 8 min boiling
Celery and carrots roughly cut
For the next 8 min boil I added:
baby season squash, green and yellow
Russian Smoked Turkey
Baby sweet bell peppers, yellow and red
Pork seasoned balls
Two heaping table spoons of Better than Chicken Bouillon
Sundried Tomatoes -- I bought them at Cost Co, they were soaked in Olive Oil
3/4 pound of Pork
Mixed all together, rolled into small balls, let them chill for 2 hours
Then I fried the balls in a non-stick pan
For the last 9 min boil
green onions
mushrooms
marinated tomatoes [sweet peppers in a slight acid base [vinegar I think -- I got it at the Europe market]
and seasoning
a little black lava sea salt
ground pepper
mustard powder [a lot]
mustard seed [a lot]
celery seed
When the past 9 mins were up I immediately took the soup off the fire and poured it into a cold bowl.
That was the soup. I also had
duck pate
Olive Loaf Bread
Gouda with a fig spread
I am sure I took three months off my life, but DAMN it was good.
