I feel so accomplished to actually have a menu plan up again! I’ve been winging it the past few weeks. Not a good idea but that’s what happens when your lap top stops working, you transfer your blog and have lots of visitors. 
I am filled with lots of excitement and ideas this week. They mostly comes from my wonderful new cookbook Ladled by Kimberly Harris of The Nourishing Gourmet. Most of the soups I have on the menu this week are from her book. I’m reviewing the book this Thursday.
The rest of my inspiration comes from actually getting to the farms I but milk and vegetables from, as well as a trip to the States. I unintentionally ended up at Whole Foods yesterday. What a happy mistake it was. My friend wanted to go to Trader Joe’s but made a wrong turn and we ended up at Whole Foods instead. Because of that I was able to buy some things I have been wanting to get for a long time but can’t find else where.
To my delight I bought 4 lbs of chicken livers, 2 lbs of chicken necks, 5 lbs of beef bones, 1 pound of pork belly, 4 lbs of pork fat to make lard and a few other delights! 100% grass feed beef was on sale! I got 4lbs for $12! That’s less that half the price I was paying at Trader Joes. I’m going to have a lot of fun this week!
Stay tuned for recipes using these forgotten culinary delights! I can’t wait to share them with you1
Many of the meals this week have an asain theme because I was just given large bunch of Thai basil! I’ve been searching for it to no avail until now. I am attempting to replant it indoors. Right now I have 10 stems sitting in water in hopes that they grow roots. We shall see….
