Friends. Farms. Families. Foraging. The theme for today’s post. Much of today centered around these words. Like foraging.

Those wild asparagus that live out by my driveway. I harvested five of them so far this week. Just enough to add to dinner. Which began from my Friends and Farms basket.

There was a very nice brisket in the basket. As well as some Baby Bella mushrooms. Both showed up in dinner. We did slow cook the brisket on Thursday, but the leftovers became dinner tonight.

As for families. Part of the dinner came from Jennys. Subject of yesterday’s post. New red potatoes. Snap peas.

Part of dinner came from my garden.

A little sauté. Then an addition of sour cream. The leftover brisket.

All served with a Friends and Family wine from RdV Vineyards.

You could call it Beef Stroganoff from another mother. Since it really didn’t follow any Stroganoff recipe.

It still tasted great, even without the pedigree.

Loving these days with all the markets, farms and my garden kicking into high gear.

About AnnieRie

Retired, I am following my dream of living in quiet west Howard County, a rural oasis, not far from the urban chaos, but just far enough. I love to cook, bake, garden, and travel. I volunteer at Howard County Conservancy. I lead nature hikes, manage programs and show children all the wonders of nature, and the agricultural connection to their food.
