Boise City Club – "Local Foods"

21 Wednesday Jul 2010

Posted by Bob and Robin in Local Farmers Markets, Local Harvests, Local Markets, Things To Do, Thought For The Day, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


On Tuesday, 20 July, Robin and I went to the City Club of Boise to listen to a program about Local Foods. Such a great program and it complimented the PBS program on Outdoor Idaho, Local Food. The panel consisted of Janie Burns, from Meadowlark Farms and Dave Krick, from the Red Feather Lounge and the Bittercreek Alehouse in Boise. The moderator was Marsha Franklin of Dialog on IPTV – Idaho Public Television.

Some very interesting points were brought our during the discussion:

  1. 95% of the food in Idaho is imported from other places. We only eat 5% of the foods grown locally in Idaho.
  2. The 20/20 Program. By 2020 in Idaho try to eat 20% locally grown foods
  3. 2011 will be the Year of Idaho Food
  4. Cities in the US that have Directors of Food (There are others)
    • Baltimore
    • New York City
    • Salt Lake City

Other points that were brought out so far as what we, as citizens, can do:

  1. Grow something
  2. Teach a child to grow something
  3. Buy local food
  4. Patronize local restaurants that use locally grown foods
    • Red Feather Lounge
    • Le Cafe de Paris
    • Brick 29
    • Cafe Vincino
    • Cottonwood Grille
  5. Start a compost
  6. Start a garden – even a small one (Robin and I have utilized the alley)
  7. Subscribe to community gardens – CSA’s (We do)
  8. The Menu for the luncheon is to the right. It’s All Local!!

It was an exciting and very informative program.

Think Local … Buy Local … Eat Local

Such a nice Saturday morning for the Boise City Market. 77 degrees F, 55% RH, Winds NNW@5 and a clear, very blue, sky. I just love to see how much this has grown this year. Here are some photos.

A new section of the market!

Pies and homemade Seasonings!

Rosemary Lamb Noisettes

06 Tuesday Apr 2010

Posted by Bob and Robin in Food, Food Prep, Lamb, Lava Lake Lamb, Local Harvests, Main Dish, Recipes

≈ Leave a comment



Here is the recipe for Lamb using Lava Lake Lamb out of Hailey, Idaho. Now this reall looks good!!! The source for the recipe is Use Real Butter (dot) Com. Or you can get recipes directly from Lava Lake Lamb.

Lava Lake Land & Livestock, L.L.C.
P.O. Box 2249
Hailey, Idaho 83333
1.888.528.5253

Full Disclosure: I received a 9-ounce lamb tenderloin, 1-pound lamb loin chops, and 2-pounds of lamb shanks from Lava Lake Ranch with no obligation on my part.

Rosemary Lamb Noisettes

modified from Cooks Recipes

Ingredients:
16 oz boneless lamb tenderloin (usually 2), with silver skin removed
1 1/2 tsps fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tbsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (optional – I omitted this)
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsps olive oil
rosemary sprigs

Directions:
1). Trim any silver skin from the tenderloin and set aside.
2). In a shallow bowl combine the rosemary, pepper, and salt (I used freshly ground pink Himalayan salt). Add the flour if you are using. Coat the tenderloins on all sides with the mixture.
3). Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium flame. When the oil is hot, add the lamb and sear on all sides for 3-4 minutes. For rare, I let the internal temperature reach 115°F. For medium rare, I think you want the internal temperature to get to 125°F.
4). Remove from heat and let the lamb rest for five minutes. The temperature will continue to rise a bit. Slice the tenderloins into medallions and serve with rosemary garnish.

Serves 4.

Sun Valley Harvest Festival September 2010

10 Wednesday Mar 2010

Posted by Bob and Robin in Local Harvests, Wine and Food, Wine and Food Festivals

≈ Leave a comment


I just received this information about the Sun Valley Food and Wine event in September 2010.

Bob.
Let me introduce ourselves. Heidi Ottley and myself – Ed Sinnott – have recently taken over and rebranded the Sun Valley Food and Wine Festival. We now call it the Sun Valley Harvest Festival. As an avid foodie in the Treasure Valley, we thought you would be interested in our event. If so, we will provide you updates and information as we get nearer to the Harvest Festival.

Ed Sinnott

Here is a link to our web site: Sun Valley Harvest Festival.

This could be a lot of fun, especially if they keep the harvest local. Get on their email list for updates by going to their web site. Cheers!
