Ok, so fresh backyard eggs aren't really "grown" but in the context of gourmet, I'd like to offer this wonderful way to prepare eggs in case you're getting tired of boiled, fried, and scrambled. We visited the Gilbert farmers market this morning and

The only one I had heard of was Soyabella, but it has mixed reviews. Does anyone know of other brands that are easy to use, easy to clean, not too expensive?
Working on my fourth barrage of salsa this summer. Unfortunately, I'm now using mostly farmer's market ingredients (from Horny Toad, Maya's, and Crooked Sky). Oh well, gotta support these awesome local growers too. Here was the final batch of good
I found a recipe in one of my Mexican cookbooks that called for Epazote. I just found some at Summerwinds nusery and would like any input on the care and feeding of it.
My only mods were that I only had 1 cup of heavy cream, so I made up for the rest with more whole milk, and some half n half, and I used lime zest instead of lem
I left out the cilantro (hate that stuff!), added a little fresh basil instead. Didn't use as much cumin as the recipe called for. Added turmeric, mustard powder, a litt
