I think I might have skipped a week of menu posting here but I guess you’ll forgive me because it’s finally spring and that means (in Seattle) rain, rain, and more rain. There’s also great deals on fruit and vegetables since they’ll now be coming from more local locations even though it’s still another full month until the Farmer’s Markets start opening.

It’s warming up here and I’ve been wanting to cook more spring/summer vegetables so I hope they’re available soon. As much as I love the winter and root vegetables I’m ready for a bit of a change. This week I’m going to making a dish with pineapple in it which is kind of a bad territory for me usually so we’ll see how it turns out but I think pineapple is as summery as you can get…

Taking a very relaxing weekend away from people means a lot of cooking in my future. I have friends coming over next week and I’ll be making pub food for them so I’m trying to keep the days leading up to it very light. Also we received a coupon for free pizza which I will redeem on Wednesday 🙂 Pretty cool stuff.
