Fresh from the Farm

Farm Photos

We took a ride to the farm produce market and came home with some freshly picked asparagus. I soaked it in cold water, drained it and then snapped of some more of the stalk. I then took a pizza pan, covered it with foil and drizzled it with olive oil. The next thing was to place the asparagus on the surface, drizzle more olive oil over it all. Garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black peppercorn was sprinkled heavily. The finishing touch was to shake (I don't buy chunks and grate) parmesan/Romano cheese over it all. Baking in the 400° oven for about 15 minutes made this vegetable very tasty and extremely tender even though they were all of different thicknesses. There are only two left over. I confess to nibbling three more as I put them away! We'll have them in soup soon.

The rest of dinner was Bar-B-Q chicken breast and boiled potatoes topped with cream of chicken gravy. 

Good farm fresh vegetables and fruits are the highlight of my spring and summer meals. (The flowers for sale are impressive too!)
