“Cow” at the Yellow Green Farmer’s Market in Hollywood. They were light on veggie stalls this week, it being the absolute deadest harvest month on the SoFla calendar, but it’s good to see they are still going.

Vessels

We finally tried Las Vacas Gordas this evening. Filed under “duh”: Argentinians really know what they’re talking about when it comes to steak.

In lieu of having a recipe to share, here’s an onion. It’s a particularly lovely onion, I might add, and looks to be shaping up as a nice aromatic base for tonight’s dinner.

What? You come here for recipes?

I am a slacker. I haven’t posted a recipe in half a month, and I have squat to show for it (except for a couple of extra pounds and a missing desire to hit the gym).

In my defense, I was out of town for two weeks (yeah, yeah, I know, I still managed to post my Charcutepalooza entry on time but couldn’t manage a recipe or two… slackness!) and then my DH was out of town the week after I got back. During the time I was gone, I ate lots of sushi, pho, Thai noodles and good-for-you foods like Angie’s Subs (the Jack Del Rio to be exact) and tied for the best BBQ ever at Mojo’s No. 4.

During the week he was gone, I ate uninspired grains with greens and variations of hashed browns and eggs… twice. What can I say? I have a sickness and it’s name is the magical mythical combination of eggs, potatoes & bacon 🙂

I also took a short trip back to NC for the other tied for #1 BBQ ever at The Pit.

I’d have to have a side-by-side tasteoff to determine which I prefer. Both are awesome, both have their strengths and next to no weaknesses. Now if only one shipped to South Florida…

Now that life has returned back to (semi)normal, I will work to post more recipes. Working toward having recipes worth posting is step #1 — I feel like I’m in a culinary rut and need to break free. Break free, but stick to meals that are not only good; are low in fat, high in whole grains, and packed with veggies. Time to hit the inter webs!

Please to enjoy this picture of a pea.

Maybe this picture of a pea will somehow make the glaring lack of recipe posting this month a little less noticeable... 😉
