Recipes
Garlic Sauteed Spinach
Ina Garten, 2002 Barefoot Contessa, on the FoodNetwork Web Site.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Lemon
Sea or kosher salt, optional
Directions
Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it’s very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it’s browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

We had sad news this week. Guy Bixler of Sterling Candy passed away. Triple B Farm (daughter) and Brooks Girls Cookie Creations (granddaughters) will be off the market for a while.
On a happier note, the weather is warming up, and it is definitely beginning to feel like spring. Jess called just now to ask if I could open the market because she is at the farm, the baby is sleeping, and she is getting a lot done. That is a lovely image isn’t it? Jess, the baby, the earth, and the sky.
Happy Spring!
