At her last trip to the Farmer's Market, Lady Di picked up some zucchini squash, mild red onions, cucumbers, local potatoes, and a bunch of fresh dill. The dill was sort of an impulse buy, but she decided to center a meal around the tangy herb. First there was a cold cucumber and onion salad marinated in sour cream and dill. The entre was grilled steelhead trout with a marinade/sauce of freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil and two pressed garlic cloves, and a healthy portion of dill. She grilled the fish in foil, then poured off the marinade and set it aside as a sauce after crisping the fish over direct heat. Potato pancakes (her mother, Leona's, recipe), with grilled zucchini and feta cheese, and a glass of pleasant white table wine round out a delightful meal.

I LOVE reading ya'lls menus! Always makes me hungry. fdb
Thanks, Frandy. We're still waiting for peaches and tomatoes and I don't know what else, and we'll have different ingredients with which to work. That's one of the cool things about the Farmer's market: going old school waiting for the seasons to tell us what to eat, instead of picking up the always-in-season-somewhere-in-the-world-but-largely-favorless stuff at the national chain grocery stores.
