farmers
who were courageous enough to Go Organic even when they knew in advance
that the money would be less, the work harder, and the distribution more
work given the higher price. It was a delicious night with soup, salad,
pasta, entree, and dessert made completely with organic ingredients. We
served French Peasant Soup, Spinach and Gala Apple Salad with a toasted
walnut and blood orange vinaigrette, Whole Wheat and Semolina Linguine
with a Creamy Tomato and Dill Sauce, Roasted Sweet and White Potatoes and
Onions, with Soy Tempeh, Lemon, and Dill, and for dessert; Brown Rice
Pudding with Chocolate Chips, and Coconut, topped with a dollop of
Housemade Creme Fraiche with Raspberries, and mint leaves for garnish.
Fully organic of course. It was quite the challenge sourcing the
ingredients, but worth it. Knowing where your food comes from is always
worth the effort.
