Ramping up Simplicity

While I'm still not putting plants in the ground until after Mother's Day, I always feel like Spring has officially sprung when ramps show up at the market.

Love my Locals! Eggs & Shiitakes from Mudluscious Gardens
and local ramps from Katuah Market.

And as with most things fresh from the garden or farm, simple is best. Other than what you see in the picture, the only other ingredients I used were olive oil, salt, and pepper.

saute chopped ramp bulbs and leaves in olive oil until softened.
Season with salt & pepper.

Add sliced shiitake mushrooms. Continue to cook until moisture is released
and mushrooms are tender, but still have a bite.

Break two eggs into pan, lightly salt/pepper. Begin to softly scramble,
but only the whites.

Once the whites are cooked, break the yolks and stir
to coat the rest of the pan.

Cook yolks to preferred doneness. I like them soft - the flavors are simple and fresh,
earthy and aromatic. 

2nd Saturday Artist Market!!

I just noticed that I passed my 100th post - who knew? I think it's great to break into the next 100 posts with an update about the 2nd Saturday Artist Market.

We've had a lot of good response to the Market, but feedback from artists told us that committing to three months of Market at a time was too much to ask, so the application process has been revised so that artists, craftspeople and musicians may apply for individual OR multiple months.

It also took us a little longer to work out the organizational aspects, so to have a stronger opening, we're starting the Market in May. We're excited to open on Mother's Day weekend, expect great weather and hope all readers within reach will come check it out!

May is also Hospice Month, and Market sponsor Care Partners Hospice and Palliative Care will be at the Community Booth for the opening Market.

Any artists interested in applying for booth space, applications are being reviewed on an ongoing basis, and you'll find all the forms and more info by clicking on the logo link above.
