A Side Note...

Damn, it's been a cold summer... Just recently has the sun decided to perch for a few days in a row.  So I've been trying to frequent as many farmer's markets as possible in these dwindling days of summer in search of vegetation.  There's nothing better than eating locally and in season, something which I've just learned a new term for! 

"Scorpacciata!"

I'm in love with the idea already.  Here's a little something to chew on...


"...understanding that it's about deliciousness, not just the slavish attention to somebody else's rules to eating something local..."

And if you're in the area, take advantage of what is being offered nearby while you can!  Washington is such a glorious state to eat in come Indian Summer...
