This is one of my favorite houses. As much as I love the New Orleans spirit of brightly painted houses, I love the soothing color palate of this one and the really neat folding chairs out front. Nothing is quite so New Orleans as sitting out on your front porch in the evening. I know people do that everywhere, but here everybody does it. All the time. It's so quaint.
This morning I juiced at the farmer's market for almost three hours. I feel like I could open my own juice bar now! We made apple and lime juice, and it was delicious. Definitely one of the pros of juicing is that you just have to test out your product. Needless to say I enjoyed my juice while everyone else bagged herbs or other things not quite so tasty raw.
One of the things that I love best about getting produce boxes from farmers markets is that it really forces you to cook things you might not otherwise buy in the store, and turns the next few days into cooking fests. I just took a squash and apple bake from the oven, and tomorrow I'll be cooking zucchini bread and mustard greens, and then on Monday I've got to use up the mushrooms and yellow squash. This year I've branched out so much in my cooking simply because of the produce boxes. It's really opened up the doors for me and I'm loving it. I also seasoned one of my cast iron pots this afternoon and it looks beautiful now! I'm so excited that tomorrow I plan to do the rest of them over the next week. Today has been such an amazing day because I happily got to spend almost all day in the kitchen.
On another note, has anyone ever had pink eyed peas? Should I just cook them like black eyed peas?
