Today was lovely. One of those days you are glad you are retired. Cleaned up the grill. Did some yard work. And grilled up a locavore meal.
This is surf and turf Boarman’s style.
We bought two crabcakes Sunday. And four mushrooms. Split the crabcakes into the mushrooms with some Trader Joe’s mustard underneath and Old Bay sprinkled on top. Brushed with Trickling Springs butter. Grilled up off the flame.
The sausages are Boarman’s sweet Italian. Not the spicy ones.
As for the rest of the meal, it was mostly CSA foods. Potatoes, onions and the defrosted peppers, all came from Zahradka. The only non-local items here were the tomatoes, but they also were bought at Boarman’s. The bread. Sourdough from Canela, bought at Boarman’s.
I did not set foot in a grocery store to buy these foods. You can have lovely meals from small stores using local sources.
The wine: the Linden 2011 Rose made from the estate merlot grapes. 2011 was the difficult year, due to the hurricane and all the rain. Lots of good grapes that didn’t get to be great wines are being used to make light refreshing wines. This wine was a perfect match to compliment crab and pork sausage.
Doesn’t get much better than this.

I love it when I don’t have to set foot into the grocery store for a meal. It feels almost liberating! And it tastes better! Loved this post.
Love this time of year. We grilled Tandoori Chicken over the weekend & are doing it again tonight!
