Farmer's Market Goods & Weekly Meal Plan

It was an exciting day at the market. The guys at Wilson Fish were all smiles selling the first halibut and king salmon of the season caught yesterday off the Washington Coast. I wasn't the only one anxiously awaiting this day as the line was stacking up seconds past 10am. From sea to fork in 24 hours. Talk about fresh fish!

I'm also giddy about it being asparagus season. So giddy, in fact, that I bought one bunch for each day. I can eat an obnoxious amount of asparagus - sometimes three meals a day... with scrambled eggs for breakfast, leftovers from the night before for lunch and a new batch broiled for dinner. You could throw in an asparagus appetizer and I would happily indulge. It's my number one green.

And a few new things this week... white pizza inspired by my sister-in-law and chicken Bahn Mi sandwiches from my friend Tara. Can't wait for those nights.

No meatless night this week. Ught-oh. Something to think about next week.
