Weekend Dinner Party

Well, the rain has finally arrived full force in Seattle! It's been a busy weekend of grading student papers, presenting at my first academic conference, and grading some more! We also got our Halloween pumpkin today, and it is now adding some much-needed bright decoration our drizzly front door.

On Saturday, Stuart and I were invited by a family friend for a lovely dinner at his home north of Seattle. Paul cooked up an an amazing (and seemingly effortless!) feast of farmers' market goodies. I just had to share the photos, because everything was so fresh, local, and delicious!


 Pork shoulder bacon
 Turnip greens
 Farmers' market pork chops
 Our cooking companion, Zoey!
 The bacon went in with some fresh-off-the-stalk Brussel sprouts...
 Potatoes and baby turnips, baked with olive oil
 Cherry tomatoes with basil and olive oil started off our meal
 The main event came together as this beautiful dish!

Let's just say I'm hoping we get invited back soon, if it means we get treated to such delicious food! ;)
