I got home from the market this morning and realized that, aside from some Honeycrisp apples, I filled my basket with a shockingly kid unfriendly roster. My goodies included:
- Kale
- Beets
- Bitter Salad Greens
And because the Mennonite farmers with the happy animals were there:
- Lamb Kidneys
- Chicken Livers
- Pork Hocks
Yikes! Take that Chicken Nuggets.
I'm thinking roasted beets for salad with goat cheese and also a little 70's gourmet retro Chicken Liver Pate (which I *did* like as a kid, but I know better than to consider that normal).
The kidneys I'm still trying to suss out what to do with. When I worked in a French restaurant as a waitress we'd periodically run a kidney special that wouldn't sell and then wind up eating kidneys as the staff meal just before they went off. I just have a small packet (and they're frozen) so I'm thinking of maybe doing a classic pan sauce with mustard and cream but then adding a pile of mushrooms. hmmm, there's duxelles in the freezer too...
Sometimes being a grown-up is okay.
