Ok, shrimp bisque recipe posted as is the cherry-wine reduction sauce from last night. That was incredible, and you can find it in the Non-Pasta Entree section under Filet Mignon with Cherry and Wine Reduction. Whoa!  Going to the farmers market!

Steaks! Tomatoes, potatoes, and I've still not posted that recipe

Blarg! I will post the shrimp bisque recipe soon. Today was SO busy. For dinner, I roasted some darling little purple potatoes with a not insignificant amount of garlic, salt, rosemary and oil. Too, I made a sliced tomato salad with blue cheese, balsamic vinaigrette and mint, and for the main dish cooked these steaks. WOW! For the sauce, I reduced a mix of red wine and balsamic vinegar. I brushed the steaks (which I'd salted and peppered and seared briefly on each side in hot  butter) with a bit of it, and then roasted them at 385 until done. In the meantime, in the remaining reduction, I slow cooked some dried sour cherries and the slightest bit of sugar. This was an amazing sauce. I mean seriously, aren't these gorgeous?!

Awesome class, recipes posted (or coming soon)

The canning class this morning was fabulous- great crowd, great energy, just really a ton of fun! A huge thanks to Twins Ace Hardware for hosting me and this event. It's a great store! Here is a link to last night's okonomiyaki which was definitely delicious. Also, this lovely salad o' mine -Melon and Watercress with a Honey-Marcona Dressing- was just nominated for Community Pick consideration on Food52. Everything is perfectly in season right now, so you should try it soon. Mmm!

Off to post the shrimp bisque recipe!
