Sounds delicious - maybe get some Hákarl to put on that breadI've recently been trying to sample more Scandinavian food in an effort to not only broaden my horizons but also prepare for a future trip to Norway. So this morning I made a gallant attempt at Smorrebrod, which is basically just really dense rye bread with some sort of fish, cheese, or butter on it. Sounds simple right? Its delicious! I used some Norwegian pickled herring, avocado, micro greens, and unsalted german butter (the closest approximation I could find). I could eat this stuff all day.
Unfortunately, I did not snap a pic before diving in but I shall remedy that for tomorrow's breakfast

future meal stuffs:
today is the start of the mid-summer season of a local CSA I joined. I promised myself back in March to shop independent, local, minority-owned, woman-owned, or some combo of whenever possible.
finally joined a farm started by people a few neighborhoods over to get my vegetables, eggs, bread, and little goodies! you sign up based on preferences and household size in advance, so that they grow *for* you each season to cut down on waste. looking forward to making dishes with stuff that is in-season and grown less than 15 miles from my apartment! I still use my local grocery chain for pantry and household goods, and the farmer's market for canned goods and other specialty items, but this will be a cool addition to my food supply.

After 14 straight weeks of staying home with my kids every day, I finally bit the bullet and dropped them with my parents this morning. I’ve taken the week off of work and, other than doing some volunteer work for tomorrow’s congressional primary, I’m planning on just chilling out for the rest of the week.
But I have planned out a dinner menu for the whole week, including cocktails and appetizers. Today was watermelon margaritas and tequila lime shrimp...
...followed by grilled whole snapper with cous cous and squash noodles.
I wasn’t able to get a great shot of the fish before we started digging in but you get the idea. I’ve also paired wine with each meal, tonight was a French Sauvignon Blanc that worked really well.

how lovely! looking forward to seeing what else is on the menu this week.
tonight I wanted to do something with the candy cane beets from the CSA box, and went for an amped up favorite.
roasted those with cherries and lemon juice, then mixed in salted basil after taking them out of the oven. whipped honey, lemon zest, olive oil, and pepper into goat cheese to smash on a thick sourdough toast; topped that off with the beet mix, white balsamic, and some mint.

Tonight was a “Shot in the Dark” (a light rum-based take on the classic Dark N’ Stormy with some Gosling’s floated on top) and grilled octopus with chorizo & potatoes...
...followed by lamb burgers topped with feta, red onion and basil & pesto aioli alongside a kale salad.

Pretty simple Italian night - started with some meats, cheeses and olives alongside Americanos...
...the some fettuccine alfredo with pancetta and peas.
