This Week in Travel and Food

We’re headed to The Farm this weekend after spending last weekend in Indy and Columbus. We just can’t get enough of the Hoosier state.

Still it’s been way too long since our last Farm visit, so I expect we’ll see some changes (and maybe some potatoes).

One of the Real Farmgirls let slip that I should expect to see a new chicken pen. In the old barn lot maybe? No pix yet from any of the three photogs, so I’ll have to wait and see for my own self.

Meanwhile, we pick up our King’s Hill Farm box of goodies tomorrow. Good thing too, because I need some fresh veggies.

I cooked up the last of my tomatoes into a sauce tonight for use sometime this week.

For supper tonight, I used up our new potatoes in an au gratin I sort of cobbled together from leftovers.

I better remember what I did though because it was my best yet. I used this Cooks.com recipe as a base for proportions and to make the white sauce. But I used Muenster cheese instead of cheddar. And the ham was leftover thick slices that I chopped up and liberally layered.

The kicker was that I served the casserole with leftover pineapple chunks. Great combo of creamy, sweet and salty.

Thanks to the iFarmer’s Twin for hosting us last weekend and for sending me on my way with so many leftovers.
