Freshly dug potatoes are one of life's simple pleasures. I miss the massive garden that my family had in DE. Unfortunately, here on the CT coast, we don't have the space to grow much of anything beyond some herbs and tomatoes. I do have an abundance of fresh rosemary and, with the help of the local farmer's market, I look forward to making the Grill-Roasted Potatoes. They'll be perfect with the Faidley's crab cakes my darling brother-in-law is having shipped to us this week.
BTW, made the Corn, Zucchini, and Pearl Couscous with Coriander and Summer Herbs from Simple Green Suppers last night. I served it with a Caprese salad and it was the perfect summer meal.
Oh lucky you (re the crabcakes) - We didn't make them on my last trip to DE - jumbo lump is about $55 a pound - though I guess if you figure every one gets one big crabcake, that's a lot cheaper (and better) than getting them out. But Faidley's will be an awesome treat. And yay for lots of rosemary. Also so glad you enjoyed that corn-couscous dish. I love the corn sautes so much and I think it is lovely to incorporate them into other recipes. Serving that with the caprese salad sounds like the essence of summer! Thanks for being in touch, Dawn.
So many ideas packed into this post Susie! I can't wait to try some of the corn and eggplant recipes. PS: I loved speaking to Ruth Reichl, Joan Nathan and Francis Lam at the reception. What a treat!
Anne, it was so great to see you there, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm really glad you took the opportunity to go around and talk to all three - yay! Enjoy trying out the recipes! Take care, Susie
Hi Everyone! The Fresh Corn Vinaigrette is now restored in the Grill-Roasted Potato Recipe. It was a cut-and-paste error on my part, and I'm so grateful for those of you who messaged me or left comments on the recipe to let me know it was missing. OY! Fortunately, I don't do that very often, but I hate to do it at all. Luckily it was a quick fix. Thanks, Susie https://mvmagazine.com/news/2024/08/05/grill-roasted-potatoes-rosemary-lemon-sea-salt-fresh-corn-vinaigrette#comment-10501
