yum.

I just made a meal that was almost, although not quite, like the "obsessively organic" one featured in the third section of The Omnivore's Dilemma. To whit, it was almost all from the local organic farm/community supported agriculture dealie. The menu:
Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic (the chicken was free-range, pastured, organic; the garlic was from the same CSA farm)
Green beans with Shallots (beans and shallots both from CSA farm) - a new recipe and happy find!
Oven-roasted potatoes and carrots with dill and butter (carrots and potatoes from CSA farm)
Bread
Wine
Strawberries and ice cream

I am now ready to descend into post-food-and-wine coma. And man, all of that stuff tasted so good.
Thanks to azure_armand for not only prep cooking, but for going to the store twice in one day. And To tomscud for bread, wine, and conversation.

You're missing an "=" in the grean beans link.

Sounds yummy. We've been making Beer Can Chicken. Surprisingly easy and good.

That's what I get for posting in post-food-and-wine coma. Oops.
I've heard of Beer Can Chicken. If we end up with another chicken to deal with perhaps I will try that. Right now we will have chicken soup for a while...

Did you get the chicken from your CSA? Ours doesn't do meat.

I did. Ours (http://www.freshandlocalcsa.com/) does a small number of chicken shares. They do eggs too. We've also gotten happy-cow organic cheddar and happy-coffee-farmer organic coffee through our CSA, although I don't think those actually come from the Shepherdstown farm.
