A Few Favorite Food Finds or Dishes of 2010

Got coconut milk? Make this delicious mouth-watering Cambodian Corn. Grilled!
This little dumpling is so cute I just want to eat him up! Ashwin. He smells good too.
Harissa....the condiment of the gods. Goes well with Brik a' Leouf or tacos!
Turkey Schnitzel with mashed "horseradish" potatoes and cole slaw
Pasta with Rancho Gordo Beans....seriously good!
Brik a' Leouf....a brand new dish for me. Thank you Marlena Spieler! I LOVE it.

Latkes....is there anything better?
While blogging thru Marlena Spieler's Jewish Cooking Cookbook...I learned how to preserve meyer lemons. I made two jars and I am still using them. I love em. I also planted a meyer lemon tree and I got 10 lemons off of it recently! I use them in so many dishes. Umami!
I grew sooo many potatoes this past year...fresh potatoes are the best! This was my first harvest. I got about 10 more loads like that. It was a great summer and fall.
My friend Marcia Lowry lives on a ranch in Wyoming. She makes her own butter from her milk cow, Molly. Cheese too! I was inspired to take a cheesemaking class. My cheese didn't turn out so hot..but I'll try again

My new favorite hot sauce from Rancho Gordo. and their heirloom beans are being used in the best restaurants...even Thomas Keller's, French Laundry. I can't afford to eat THERE yet, but I have ordered those beans! Delicious. We don't eat enough really good fresh beans.

I could go on and on and on...but I thought a few highlites from 2010 would be nice.

Wild Idea Buffalo Company and Rancho Gordo Beans

From the archives....look here. Am ordering more soon!

If you want REAL beans....order here. I have and am out now so time to re-order. I love Steve's t-shirt too. :) His Rio Zape bean is so delicious...and his Cowboy Gay Sauce is da bomb, although I didn't see any on his current product list.

I think I'll order the sampler.

They do sell at a few markets. I think I'll write to see if and when they'll sell at our Freeway Farmer's Market!
