A nice summer dinner. The potatoes are a mix of some Russian variety (I just read that there are so many different varieties of potatoes that you could live off them alone because they are so different) and yet most Americans only eat deep fried russets.

Kauai meal (Walu), originally uploaded by Derwyn.

The BEST fish you will EVER eat...but don't each too much.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar

Read about the "effects of consumption". Of course I typically eat less than the average American so experienced no ill effects.

Avocado and salsa with egg

2009-06-18T15:51:00.001-07:00

Kauai meal, originally uploaded by Derwyn.

We only had one avocado in Kauai but it was good. Everything here was purchased at local farmers markets or co-ops. Friends told us to stop at Safeway to stock up because there were no good places to get food. They could not have been more wrong.

Kauai meal, originally uploaded by Derwyn.

This wasn't quite home (it was Kauai) but we did cook at out temporary home...so it counts. We pretty much ate fresh (many times raw) fish daily. It was the best part about Hawaii...other than the sun and the ocean and the fruit and the.....

Grilled pork chop, grilled peaches and yes..grilled asparagus.

Waffle

DSC_0062, originally uploaded by Derwyn.

So, I'm at a friends house and at some point it comes up that they have a waffle iron from about 10 years ago still in the box never opened. Um Helloooooo!

The next morning with my "new" waffle iron I whipped up some melt in your mouth waffles. I think I also figured out what makes good waffles.

1. Fluffy egg whites.
2. Butter
3. A waffle iron...duh...but actually I think it's because of the steam factor. I'm just guessing but the same batter with pancakes are much less fluffy and moist. I think it's the steam.

Home made yogurt

DSC_0070, originally uploaded by Derwyn.

How sweet it is. Purchased a yogurt maker (Seems it's just a glorified pot warmer with a cover). Anyhow, made my first batch. Ate with some of our fresh strawberries from the garden and a tiny bit of Maple Syrup...better than anything store bought fooooor suuuuuure.

Mixed greens with olive oil and balsamic. Pan seared tuna.

DSC_0288, originally uploaded by Derwyn.

Note on the pan seared tuna. It was sushi grade frozen from the farmers market. I rinsed and dried it. Added salt pepper and olive oil. With my cast iron skillet on high I seared all sides. Just before pulling it off I squeezed lemon on it. I only cooked each side for maybe 20-30 seconds. The more you cook it the worse it tastes.

Soup with greens, potatoes, beans, jarred tomatoes, garlic...anything really.
