first 3G meal

dinner, friday 12/31/2010. 
here we go folks, the first meal of the new and improved 3G project. mushroom ravioli with brown butter, sage, spaghetti squash, and tomatoes.  

yummy

here's the ingredient breakdown. the sage is from the trip we made to the soulard market for thanksgiving dinner: local. can you believe i've had it for that long sitting on the kitchen windowsill in a glass with a we bit of water. the tomatoes are from, the newly appointed "devil's grocery store," wholefoods: organic, not local, but they were in the fridge so they totally count. the mushroom ravioli is from "manzos" the little import market down the street and was in the freezer. i'm not sure if they make the pastas there or not, and there just might be some sort of loop hole in the project rules in regards to foods that might not be from local sources, but are locally made or from itty bitty markets that deserve our support: localish. and, of course, the spaghetti squash is from the maude's market loot: totally local!! also involved in dinner is part of the maude's market big ass onion and some asiago cheese also purchased from manzos: local and localish. as for the brown butter, which was really just melted butter that never really got brown, was a mixture of the last little bit of raw milk butter from greenville and some local butter i got here that i'm not a big fan of, so i'm not gonna talk about it: local. (i will however, later on, tell you about my st. louis milk and butter dilemma.) and so without further ado, here you have it folks. the first meal of the 3G project 2011.

crappy light, tasty dinner.

and again folks, happy new year. please drive safe.
