January Dinner on 12th

Oh it's so much easier to tout the wonders of eating locally when it's August, but January is a little trickier. But we're still going to try for this dinner to have most if not all our ingredients coming from local sources. Given the brisk weather out there, I thought a nice hearty bowl of soup and something chocolaty for desert might be comforting. So, here's the menu I'm tentatively planning on for our next dinner on this Friday:

Ribolitta (Tuscan bean soup)
Potato* and Kale* Galette
Sauteed Forgotten Purple Carrots with Arugala**
Chocolate Hazelnut* Mousse and Chocolate Shortbread Cake

* = locally grown
** = VERY locally grown -- i.e. from our garden
