Any requests for next Friday's dinner that require a farmers' market trip, since the Montpelier market is Saturday

I'm doing dinner on Friday. Have to pull the recipes but I'll email them to you, see if there's anything. i'm sure there will be.

Seven sleeps!

Right, that's why I asked. It'd be awesome to do market-then-dinner, but alas, no markets here on Fridays. I think the nearest might be Richmond, a solid half-hour drive each way. Depending what you come up with, garden-then-dinner may also be a distinct possibility.

More importantly, what can I bring?

[bodhifox]

Can you BRING stuff from Canada? See my post. Chianti in those big raffia wrapped bottles...

Or SCOTCH for sausages.

[fearsclave]

I'm def bringing some Scotch, although not the sort of stuff you'd use on sausages...

Two things on which to click right near Montpelier...

Mad river and Dog river.

Okay, cheese I can do. There is really nice bread at the market too, but I don't think it'd hold for a week.

I am confused, which really is nothing new. Is dinner on Friday, or Saturday, or both? Friday is my normal day off, and I took Saturday off for Camel Humping, but am reconsidering my hike-worthiness.

Also, what can I bring? (I am hoping to bring my husband and his banjo, but we'll have to see what mood he's in...) On a somewhat related thought, do you guys do reiki, or have friends who do, and do you know anything about reiki helping depression and or bi-polar?

[raven_albion]

O hai! "fremily dinner" = Friday, with bodhi cooking. Also, there will be post-hike dinner Saturday, dunno who's cooking, probably me and whoever else feels moved to do so.

I wouldn't let hike-worthiness stop you from coming Saturday! but do what you feel is best. If you are coming for Friday dinner...maybe some wine that complements what bodhi posted below? (And I don't see trouble with bringing husbands or instruments on either night--if music is meant to happen, it will!)

Neither Tom nor I are reiki masters per se, but he has a little experience and may be able to answer questions about it.

Pardon the rush. being crawled on by children:

Crostini:
Ciabatta bread
mozarella
chilli pepper
chard

sliced mushrooms w/mozarella and thyme':mushrooms
mozarella
thyme
olive oil

insalata caprese

2 handfuls of mixed tomatoes

fennel
garlic
basil
2 small zucchini
more chard or spinach

spaghetti tetrazini
dried mushrooms
4 chicken thighs (or a wee chicken, cut up)
fresh mushrooms
spagetti
cream
parmesan

We can get some bread from that bakery no too far from you. can't remember the name, but it looked good. We could do that Saturday morning market for Saturday dinner or lunch at the top.

[raven_albion]

Okay. Well, with the exception of zucchini, we can do the whole minestrone out of my garden, if you don't mind subbing beet greens for chard. Basil, onion, thyme are all here. I'll get more tomatoes @ the market today, though, as mine are still small/slow. La Brioche has good bread, or we can get some at the co-op across the street/river.
